Poverty is Real Benefit Concert Featuring music by The Bitteroots, Chris Stalcup and The Grange, & Spencer Smith.
POVERTY IS REAL is a non-profit organization that leverages great music to combat poverty in local communities. PIR takes their fundraising concerts on tour, celebrating music and supporting local organizations that fight poverty and homelessness.
Poverty is Real emerged from the idea that communities can take huge strides in alleviating need at a local level when they join forces. That concept – coupled with a love of music – gave rise to Poverty is Real.
And, even though the reality of poverty is sobering, Poverty is Real chooses to approach the issue with hope. When a city combines its resources and energy, incredible things can happen. Poverty is Real strives to ignite that drive and focus in local communities, combining hope with group action to generate a real and lasting impact.
ALL proceeds for the Decatur PIR shows go towards Decatur Cooperative Ministry. DCM alleviates and prevents homelessness while affirming the dignity of each family.
THE BITTEROOTS are a Decatur-based rock band, influenced by blues, jam, folk and classic rock, with a penchant for catchy hooks, driving rhythms and soaring vocals that keep getting better with time. The band has already proven itself a crowd pleaser with performances at events around Atlanta for three years, return festival engagements and crowded gigs at some of the city’s most esteemed club venues, including (yours truly) Eddie’s Attic and Smith’s Olde Bar.
CHRIS STALCUP AND THE GRANGE take Alt Country head on with tales of love, despair and the things that are better left alone. Stalcup takes a slight detour from his "Best of 2010" band Chase Fifty Six to lead a group of seasoned players from the likes of Sugarland, Shawn Mullins, Sonia Leigh, The Bodeans, Michelle Malone, Jackson County Line and The Cigar Store Indians to name a few.
