Dirty Femmes and Gordon Gano to help raise money for victims of Oklahoma tornadoes

Tonight at the Oriental Theater, Gordon Gano of the Violent Femmes is sitting in again with the Dirty Femmes, the tribute act devoted to Gano's band and led by Jen Korte. That, in itself, is reason enough to make your way to the Oriental Theater, but here's another compelling reason:...

Tonight at the Oriental Theater, Gordon Gano of the Violent Femmes is sitting in again with the Dirty Femmes, the tribute act devoted to Gano's band and led by Jen Korte. That, in itself, is reason enough to make your way to the Oriental Theater, but here's another compelling reason: All of the proceeds from tonight's show will go directly toward helping victims of the recent Oklahoma tornadoes.

Along with Dirty Femmes, a few Oklahoma acts, Green Corn Revival, Joe Mack and Thomas Trapp, are slated to share the bill with Laura Goldhamer, Clouds & Mountains, Mike Clark & the Sugar Sounds, Grant Sabin, Kurt Bauer, Tyler Lee Holter and Inner Oceans. All proceeds from tonight's show, which will be broadcast live, will be donated directly to the Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts.
