got a great night plans to raise money for Delenance
Food Bag, so we compete some people in need the
holiday season, which easy a nice one feeling knowing that
you're making some good happening in the world. There's a

handful of VIP tickets left and I stress that just
a handful. And with the VIP tickets you get a
meet and greet. Everyone gets a free holiday mixer cd uh.

Right, judge? Yeah? Just cash. We'll have donation cans there
and of the profits will go towards gleaners. Jim Haler
and I from Soul Hustler, we will be contributing our
performance and our organization for the event, and so everyone
should know that we're not going to see a penny
from it if we feel that if people are going
(01:54):
to lay down their cash to help people in need,
Jim and I should do the same. So we're doing
this for just because it's righting to do.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, who's all in the band
this year, Terry.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Well, we've got Takashi Eel on bass. We've got Brandon
Huskin from Bray on drums. We've got Jimmy smanth and
Not Martinez and Johnny Evans horn section. Let's see, we've
got David James on guitar and my music director Duncan
W mcnillan on keyboards.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Johnny Evans.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I was just with Johnny not too long ago here
a couple of weeks ago, he was doing another benefit
and I happened to be at it as the MC.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
It was over at Freddy's on the East Side.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
So yeah, yeah, I saw your posts about that. Looked
like a great.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Event at Johnny.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You guys, well, all the musicians in Detroit have always
stepped up to help out, especially during the holidays. But Terrence,
you've done an incredible job. How many years now have
you been doing this?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I started the project in twenty twenty just before the
world shut down. Yeah, we released the CD in twenty
twenty one, and so for the past three years we've
we've been working our holiday magic, trying to make people happy,
and finally we get to do a big holiday benefit
and that's a trill for me. It's a great cause
(03:22):
and really looking forward to hopefully selling the theater out.
We're about two thirds of the way there. So if
anyone needs a great date night and celebrate a little jazz,
rock and swim holiday tunes, even have a great time,
I guarantee it.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I love the name of the well. The theme for
the show a Christmas cocktail that is. Yeah, that's a
good one, no doubt about it. Will you still have
your Christmas CDs available for sale that night?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I've got maybe fifty left, so yeah, they'll be all
be a little for sale at the thing. I'll have
another merchan start too, But like I said, the VIPs
will least get a pre CD with their tickets.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Tell me about the music that you're going to be doing, Terrence,
I mean, is it all Christmas music? Are you throwing
in some of your original holiday songs? What can we
expect when we come into the Magic.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Okay, what you can expect is after the mix and
mingle to seven pm, Soul Hustler will hit the stage
and they play a mixture of rock, pop, soul and funk.
So I've that's cover tunes for them. That's Jim Hedler
formerly The Civilians, Jake Smith for Brothers of Another Planet,
James Sparks, Jenny Molina, and Gordon Jazzabey Spencer. So that's
(04:48):
that's gonna be a little more on the new music side,
and then we'll get the stage probably around eight thirty,
and we'll do our Christmas Standards sounds of holiday mixtures
the CD. I'll of course do my original Christmas Cocktail,
and also we'll be playing some Louis Armstrong holiday songs,
(05:13):
you know, rocking around the Christmas Tree or dingle bell rock,
blue Christmas good stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You know, I've been listening to more Christmas music this year,
maybe than ever before. I don't know why, but I
