ATLANTA (February 15, 2012) – Tavern 99 in Buckhead continues its tradition of hosting benefit concerts on Monday, February 27th with a concert for Karren Bhullar featuring Ed Roland and the Sweet Tea Project. For the past two decades, Atlanta native Roland has been the front man of the platinum-selling rock band Collective Soul. 
With the Sweet Tea Project, he has teamed up with a group of friends and musicians for a new approach to his classic hit-making style. Gareth Asher & the Earthlings and other popular local musicians (to be announced) will also perform.
Bhullar was diagnosed with stage 3B breast cancer at the age of 40. She is a mother of two and the girlfriend of Joshua Huff, the guitarist for Gareth Asher & the Earthlings. Her doctors told her that her only chance of survival was an aggressive chemotherapy regimen and a double mastectomy which she will undergo this month. The concert will help ease Bhullar’s financial burden.
The concert begins at 8 p.m. and $15 advance tickets are available at http://www.xorbia.com/tavern99/. Tickets will be $25 at the door on the day of the show. Follow Tavern 99 on Facebook for updates as bands are added.
