A benefit concert to raise money for a Tri-City musician who's battling cancer is planned Aug. 7 at Ice Harbor Brewery in Kennewick.
The Blues Bash Concert from 4:30 to 10:30 p.m. will feature CD Woodbury Band, Bobby Holland & Breadline, Vaughn Jensen Band and Hoaloha Mele.
The concert will raise money for Steven Tayamen, 55, of Richland, who plays guitar in the Hawaiian band Hoaloha Mele, which means, "Friends in music."
Tayamen, who served 20 years with the Air Force, was diagnosed last fall with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer. He's undergoing chemotherapy and will need a stem cell transplant.
The cost is $5. There will be a drawing for VIP passes that include free food and a role in the upcoming film, When Electricity Came to the Columbia Basin: The Kennewick Man Saga.
Tickets available at Ed & Moe's Pawn Shop, 419 W. Entiat, Kennewick; Ice Harbor Brewery, 206 N. Benton St., Kennewick; Good2Grow Hydroponics Store, 3507 W. Clearwater Ave., Kennewick; Chain Reaction Bike Shop, 319 W. Kennewick Ave.; and Hippies Smoke Shop, 1615 Columbia Park Trail, Richland.

The other night, I had the privilege to attend a concert entitled "Freedom," presented by students at Cottonwood Elementary. The fourth- and fifth-grade marimba bands played. We all stood to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sang The Star Spangled Banner.
Veterans present were invited to stand -- there were quite a few, young and old.
Students filled the stage and sang numerous songs.
