  • Tommy Stinson and Cowboys in The Campfire to Host Benefit Concert for Children’s non-profit

    On September 11, famed bass-guitarist Tommy Stinson will be performing with his latest rock ensemble, Cowboys in the Campfire. The longtime bass-guitarist for pioneering alternative rock group, The Replacements, and hard-rock group, Guns N’ Roses, has now partnered with steel player, Chip Roberts. The duo is working on an album set to be released later this year, but first, they will host a benefit concert to raise awareness for an organization that is not only near-and-dear to Tommy Stinson’s heart, but one that sees his daughter as an active participant.

    Perfect Ten Hudson is an after-school program that benefits girls between the ages of 8-18. They are an independent non-profit organization committed to building respect, dignity, fairness, caring, equality and self-esteem with respect to the diverse life challenges of each girl. 

    This free performance will be held at The Park Theater in Hudson, NY at 723 Warren St., on September 11, beginning at 7PM. Donations will be encouraged at the show where concert goers can also purchase signed posters.

    In addition to the live performance, Tommy Stinson has donated various items that are being sold off in a silent online auction. The items include a bass, case and jacket that accompanied him on several Guns N’ Roses tours, record bags made from The Replacements t-shirts and more. There are many other items to bid on including an art experience with Victoria Wyeth (granddaughter of Andrew Wyeth), a guitar signed by Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi, an in-home chef experience and lots of rock and roll memorabilia as well as local Hudson dining/entertainment/hotel packages.  

    The auction is live until Sunday, September 12 at 11:55 P.M. and can be found here.

    The show, hosted by Dark carnival band Dust Bowl Faeries and produced by Experiential Design Artist Corey Aldrich, will broadcasts LIVE from the club’s stage in Hudson, New York.

    Tickets for the show are available on a donation basis to support the musicians throughout this difficult time for the arts. The show begins at 8:00pm EST and will stream from a private YouTube link.

    Dust Bowl Faeries will be hosting a Bloody Valentines themed show, with some tragic tales of love gone wrong, revenge songs about bloody tattoos and lusty vampiric shenanigans.

    Rock legend Tommy Stinson, original member of The Replacements and former bassist for Guns n Roses, will perform intimate blues-based songs on acoustic guitar, accompanied by Chip Roberts on lap-steel guitar. The duo call themselves Cowboys in the Campfire. Expect new songs at the show along with their beloved collection of songs. “A few laughs are guaranteed,” says Stinson.

    For the past thirteen years, Cowboys in the Campfire have written and performed their witty, unique brand of music that blends lap-steel with regular guitar.

    Accompanied by Cowboys in the Campfire for Club Helsinki Bloody Valentines show are the Dust Bowl Faeries whose music will bemuse and mystify the listener. The founders of the band, Ryder Cooley and Hazel, hail from Hudson, New York. Their musical influence draws from circus, post-punk and Eastern European folk music. The Faeries recently released a new album, The Plague Garden, along with a new video, Candy Store, produced and directed by Lisa M. Thomas of Thin Edge Films.
