CFA Benefit Concert at the Pour Haus in Louisville

The mack, Teneia Sanders, and Afrykah of Queendom Come will be the headliners at a Benefit Concert for The Community Farm Alliance’s Jefferson County Chapter at the Pour Haus on Saturday December 8th at 9 PM. The Pour Haus is located at 1481 South Shelby Street in Germantown. Admission is $5. $10 will get you a membership to CFA.

According to CFA member Angelique Perez, one of the organizer’s of Saturday’s event, “The mack can best be described as ‘music for the mind and soul,’ blending infectious rhythm with lyrical prose. The mack will perform original material featuring Jeff Shelton playing guitar and Pete Townsend on drums. Teneia Sanders is another local gem, and has been described by national music critics as ‘a cross between Ani DiFranco and Aretha Franklin.’ Afrykah of Queendom Come has made her mark in Louisville as a community activist working for peace and justice. She will be performing her unique mixture of Hip-hop, soul and R&B. This will be a special show for a special cause. It shouldn’t be missed.”

Angelique Perez continues, “Community Farm Alliance (CFA) works to support family farms throughout the state, and to build food security and a Locally Independent Food Economy (LIFE) in Louisville. CFA’s recent community food assessment highlights the fact that many Louisvillians face barriers that limit access to fresh healthy foods. This lack of access is most apparent in West Louisville and East Downtown neighborhoods where grocery stores and other retailers that stock fresh affordable foods are scarce and residents’ transportation is limited.”

CFA has been working to increase access to fresh, healthy, affordable foods in these areas of Louisville that need it the most. This event serves as a celebration of the work that’s been done and a gearing up for the work that lies ahead as we continue to connect farmers and urban eaters and to build more food secure neighborhoods in Metro Louisville.

Ms. Perez sums it up: “CFA is a statewide membership group with over 2000 members. Please join us at the Pour Haus for a great evening of local music as we celebrate local food and food access for everyone, and build power in our community.” For more information, please contact the CFA Louisville Office at 502-775-4041.
