With their last album “Framework,” debuting at #14 on the CMJ charts and a brand new album called “Transients” scheduled to release in July 2009, the band is headed as far as fans and the industry will take them. AMF has received numerous awards, including a slot in the Regional Finals of the Emergenza Festival Battle of the Bands, winners of the Star 98.7FM & Long Beach's The District Weekly's 'Battle of the Bands,” and the 2006 award for “Best Live Act” and “Best Underground Emcee” at the M.I.C.

ABOUT COFFEY (10:00PM)
Growing up in Texas, Coffey has built up his career from singing in the bed of his dad’s farm truck for passing cars, to performing over 100 dates in 7 months and releasing 4 albums all over the nation. Shortly after moving to LA to pursue his love for music, Cofféy started crashing auditions, movie shoots, and singing in malls until security came. He made an 8 song demo and started street performing to sell it. Crowds would fill the street and the police would shut the concerts down. His talent now ranges from street performing in Santa Monica, rodeos in Texas, to exclusive parties in the Hamptons. Coffey is well known for his appearance on hit reality competition show Nashville Star, where he finished 3rd place. This southern man’s music is almost as dynamic as his personality.

ABOUT SARAH HAZE (9:15PM)
Following the January 2008 release of her debut indie CD The Ladder pop singer-songwriter Sara Haze was invited to perform in Toronto at Canadian Music Week (CMW). At CMW she was joined on stage by Grammy® Award-winning producer/songwriter Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette, Dave Matthews, No Doubt). In July 2008, Troy Blakely, Senior Vice President and Managing Partner of APA in Los Angeles, signed Sara for national bookings and by the end of the year she had played over 100 dates, either with a full band (including an electric violinist) or performing acoustic sets. Sara’s critically acclaimed CD had steady sales on iTunes and throughout the year her music was also heard on national, international and web radio as well as placed in TV and movie soundtracks. By year’s end Sara had also made Music Connection Magazine’s 2008 Hot 100 Unsigned Bands & Artists list and Muse’s Muse 2008 Best Overall CD Project In Any Category (a tie with Jesse McCartney), previously awarded in 2007 to Sara Bareilles. In between gigs Sara worked in the studio with producer/guitarist Eric Fraley recording her second CD that included co-writes with James Slater and Glen Ballard, to be released in early 2009. http://www.myspace.com/sarahaze

Hello Glenn,
You're welcome. I'm just happy to pass along information on an event that is not only fun, but helps others. I hope the shows help bring awareness and support of Donate Life. BTW- I've signed the donor card on my driver's license for anything that is needed.
Take care,
