The Riverwest Aces and David J. Thomas perform at the "From Brady to Nepal" benefit event on Saturday, May 16 at The Hi-Hat Garage, 1701 N. Arlington Pl.

While the event is free, a donation of $5 (or more!) is suggested, as all proceeds will benefit the victims of the 7.8 quake that hit western Nepal on April 25. The eastern part of the country was rocked by a 7.3 tremor just today.

"This event benefits our brothers and sisters in Nepal after the tragic earthquake this month," wrote organizers in a release. "If every community contributed just a little, the cumulative effect would be enormously helpful. Help do your part with us to give some relief to Nepal."

The event kicks off at 3 p.m, and The Riverwest Aces play at 4. Thomas takes the stage at 6.
