Local modern rock band Zero Point is headlining a benefit show this weekend for Jake Young, a friend of the band who suffered a traumatic brain injury when he was struck by an SUV. Here's the e-mail the band sent out with details:
We are playing a benefit show this Saturday for Jake Young. He was struck by an SUV as a pedestrian and suffered a traumatic brain injury. The money raised from the benefit show will go towards medical procedures to improve his quality of life. Music will be played all day from noon until around 11pm. Admission is $7 for adults and $3 for kids under 12. We will be playing starting at 10pm so we hope to see you there for at least our set if not more. There will be smoked pork, popcorn, and cotton candy for sale to raise money as well as a moon bounce for the kids. The location is the fireworks shed on 411 South at the Blount County/Loudon County line. We will be donating a portion of any CD sales at the show to the family to help with medical procedures for Jake so if you haven't checked out our CD yet make sure to pick up a copy at the show so that you can support the cause as well as get some new music to listen to. See you there!! Bring some people! The more people that show up, the more help that can be provided for Jake and it will also make for more fun for everyone.
