Steve Kimock, Toots (Toots and the Maytals), Trombone Shorty, Colonel Bruce Hampton, That One Guy, DJ Logic, Ulises Bella (Ozomatli), Asdru Sierra (Ozomatli).
Proceeds from the auction will benefit Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool, the Foundation’s educational program that teaches children the science of sound through the magic of music. Using electronic musical instruments such as theremins, synthesizers and effect pedals, as well as oscilloscopes and other teaching aides, the innovative program engages children in the basic physics of sound through the parameters of electronic music. A standardized curriculum for Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool is currently in a pilot phase with the Asheville City Schools at the second grade level. The Foundation’s goal is to grow the program nationwide. Dr. Bob’s SoundsSchool brought its experiential learning experience to 50 children in Jamaica as part of Jam Cruise’s Positive Legacy project..."
