Last Waltz at The Dame a Success!

    Musicians including Tula, Maurice Manning, Clack Mountain String Band, Rodney Hatfield, and authors Ed McClanahan and Gurney Norman performed at The Dame in Lexington last night in a tremendous homage to The Band's Last Waltz, a concert in 1976 made famous by Martin Scorsese's rockumentary by the same name.

    The house was packed all night with hundreds of people enjoying a great show for a good cause. 

     Kentuckians For The Commonwelth and also our allies at KCIRR (The Kentucky Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights) benefited from the concert, getting a cut of the money made at the door.  KFTC members also got a great chance to talk to hundreds of people about our issue and the work we do.
 
    KFTC activists signed fifty-seven people to become new members as part of our final push to become a 5,000-member organization by the end of the year.

    Tula and friends also put on two Last Waltz concerts late last year (in Lexington and Louisville) and are trying to line up a concert venue in Louisville for December.   Check the events calendar for more information and we'll post it as it becomes available.

    "The event went really great.  We got to talk to lots of people about what KFTC does while listening to some great music.  We really appreciate The Dame, the bands like Tula and everyone else.  They did a super job and it was a great time!"  said KFTC member John Ghaelian.
