MTD Bass (a.k.a. Michael Tobias Design) announced the creation of its new charitable non-profit organization, MTDLYFE, Inc.. MTD will host The First Annual MTD Family Reunion Benefit Concert and CD release party at The 2012 NAMM Show on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 at JT Schmid’s in Anaheim, CA. All proceeds will benefit non-profit organizations that provide support for musicians, MusiCares and H.E.A.R. Contributions from the musicians, manufacturers and vendors, include support from Bass Player Magazine, Dana B. Goods, Epifani and Gallien-Krueger, MTD Bass will feature many of the company’s most notable artists, including Andrew Gouche, Bubby Lewis, Norm Stockton, Jerry Watts, and more performing live, plus on the double CD set available during the event.

I know people at MusiCares and H.E.A.R. This is a cause that is well worth your support. There is a PayPal link on the site where you can donate as much as you want — even a couple of dollars would help.

I plan to attend the benefit concert next month.
