The music community is still reeling from the passing of Andy Kotowitz, a beloved member of the music community.  It’s wonderful to hear that his SubPop family has put together an amazing show to celebrate him and raise money for the Andy Kotowitz Family Foundation, which supports Andy’s wife, Jocelyn, and young daughter Anna.

The benefit show will be December 4th at The Showbox (Market) and will feature performances by some of the bands Andy was the A&R representative for, including: A-Frames/AFCGT, Fruit Bats, Mudhoney, Michael Yonkers, Pissed Jeans, Shabazz Palaces, Vetiver, and Wolf Eyes.  This is an all-ages event, with doors at 7pm.

A line-up like that should not be missed and it will surely sell out quickly. Tickets are $20 and go on sale at noon today {11/12/10} via Ticketmaster.

In the coming days SubPop will be announcing an online auction to help support the Foundation. In the meantime Pearl Jam and Ten Club donated an autographed Fender Telecaster which is being auctioned at CharityBuzz.com.
