(I eat the Sun)

A concert to benefit The Veterans' Sanctuary featuring Toussaint & Buru Style with David "Solid" Gould and Nate Silas Richardson and Ithaca band Hee Haw Nightmare as the opening act.

After years touring regionally and internationally with Soulive, the China Band and the Trama Unit, Toussaint has now added his crushingly soulful voice to the dub/funk unit Buru Style. Together they perform a mash-up of original reggae, funk and soul.

Come with us
as we move a little ways
around the wheel of time
and give thanks for the sunshine
that comes back to us
a little more everyday.

Tickets are $10 in advance at http://www.castawaysithaca.com/
or $12 at the door.

The event will benefit The Veterans' Sanctuary land purchase!
