INTERVIEW

In this episode of Catalyst Radio we learn about a music festival Memorial Day Weekend hosted by the local Volkswagen van organization Buses By The Beach, as a fundraiser for the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors.  Bus Benefit May 22-25 features a lineup of local and regional bands, as well as camping and other family-friendly activities.

In studio from Buses By The Beach are Brien Dews and Owen Smith, to profile the holiday weekend event itself, as well as explain the origins of BBB working for the benefit of Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors. We’ll also learn a bit about the services Phoenix Society offers.

 

MUSIC

Local music featured in this episode of Catalyst Radio is from Roosevelt Digs, one of the bands performing at the Bus Benefit. From the disc Songs From the Shed, it’s the song “It’s About Time.”
