Yellow Snow- 7th Annual Charity Christmas Rock Concert.

By Alicia

Growing up, I'd like to think that all of our parents warned us to avoid eating the "yellow snow" but did they ever warn you about listening to it? 

Mike Dibiase (Lead Guitarist to Jay Berndt and the Orphans)  placed a whole new twist on the meaning of yellow snow when he decided to turn the term into the event name for this wonderful annual charity concert. 

What started off as  Christmas music on a cd for stocking stuffer ideas, evolved into 7 years of musical madness. 

Every year Mike gets together with a host of talented musicians including but not limited to Al Diaz (Alma Mala and former lead singer of Kanerko), Jess (Jess Lewis Band), Tammy Laforest (Tammy Laforest ) Jay Berndt and several others months in advance to plan, practice and play.

Each year Mike picks a charity that will benefit from the musical talents and that becomes the motivation for all the hard work and effort. Together the musicians put a "Rock N' Roll" Twist on many Christmas classics like "The Little Drummer Boy" "Let it Snow" and "White Christmas" along with some originals created by Mike Dibiase himself. They also throw in a few tunes from famous children's movies like "The Nightmare before Christmas" and Al Diaz's always highly acclaimed rendition of "The Grinch." 

Sadly, this year will be the last of the Yellow Snow concerts. So if you've never made it out to one, I suggest you make all effort to get over toFete Ballroom this Friday Dec 13th 2013 at 7pm. Tickets for the event can be purchased online. If you need more details, you can also visit the FaceBookevent page.

You can also catch the full interview with Al Diaz by visiting "Raw Sex" and listening to podcast #5.
