A Conneaut High School alum will be returning to the community with his successful band to give a concert to benefit two local community groups.

On Friday, May 22nd, 2009 from 6:00 until 10:00, the Cleveland rock bands Winslow and Eclyptic will be in Conneaut performing a benefit concert for the Conneaut Music Boosters and the Conneaut Food Pantry at the Conneaut Human Resources Center.

Admission into the concert is $3.00 and a can of food or $4.00 (of which, one dollar will be donated to the Conneaut Food Pantry). Food and drinks will be available to purchase through the Conneaut Music Boosters.

Winslow, the headlining band for the evening is lead by Conneaut native Maurice Martin. Mr. Martin was a Sousaphone player in the Conneaut High School Marching Band and served as the Band Captain for a time. He offered to bring his band and another band to present this concert.

The band has received praise recently: “Cleveland Scene” magazine named them “Cleveland’s best original band” and Fox 8 named them “Cleveland’s best local band.”

The second musical group involved, Eclyptic, is based out of Hudson, Ohio and won the Cleveland area “High School Rock-Off” two years ago.

Business Sponsors are still needed for the concert; any interested businesses should contact Sean Smith at (440) 593-7235.

Both groups will be performing for free for the evening, with all the proceeds going to the Conneaut Music Boosters and the Conneaut Food Pantry. The proceeds will directly benefit the community and help the music program provide a quality program for all the students involved.
