Rockers raise money for local families’ medication
Local band Sustain are on a mission to help revive rock ‘n roll and to help families pay medical expenses.
Calling rock n’ roll a “dying art”, Sustain vocalist Parrish Miller said they’re looking to change that for youth in Terrace. “We’re about seven different genres of rock. We’re from hair metal to some punk, funk, Eric Clapton and Fleetwood Mac,” said Miller. Kristie Ebeling, executive director for the Kimmunity Angels, said the money will cover about three and a half months’ worth of medications for families in need.
The New Year fundraiser was the second of two put on by Sustain last year, the first was on Hallowe’en.
