Get Ready to Rock, Literally, For an AZ leader
Big Valley Music Names to Rock on at Scottsdale Fundraiser for the Hugh
Hallman for Treasurer Campaign
(SCOTTSDALE) You can’t
spell fundraising without “fun.”And fun is on the menu the night of Thursday, April 10, when Gin Blossoms vocalist and guitarist Jesse Valenzuela, Arizona folk+rock+reggae warrior Walt Richardson, and Mark Zubia & Friends take the stage at a campaign fundraiser for Hugh Hallman. It’s a night of some of the Valley’s biggest names in music taking the stage for one of the Valley’s most respected candidates.
Valenzuela was part of the musical juggernaut that took the airwaves by siege. The Gin Blossoms, with their breakout record “New Miserable Experience” in 1992, burned up the charts for almost three years with singles “Hey Jealousy,” “Allison Road,” “Until I Fall Away,” “Mrs. Rita,” and “Found Out About You.” The album sold over four million copies. As a member of the Gin Blossoms, Valenzuela has toured the world and performed on Leno, Letterman, Saturday Night Live and at The Grammys.
Hallman and Valenzuela are lifelong friends and went to grade school and high school together.
Also entertaining the supporters will be Walt Richardson, who has shared the stage with Ziggy Marley and is a member of the Arizona Entertainment and Music Hall of Fame. And Mark Zubia, with 30 years of music experience under his belt, helped conceive the powerhouse group the Chimeras and their newest incarnation as the Pistoleros, will be joined by friends for some powerful songs.
Hallman is a candidate for Arizona State Treasurer. He is also the former Mayor of Tempe, where his mix of business expertise, community knowledge and commitment to governing the right way helped the city reverse budget deficits, improve public safety, and spark economic development.
That all lays the groundwork for Hallman to “Rock the Treasurer’s Office” – which is the theme of the April 10 music and fundraising event. It all will take place from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at The Walterdome, 6425 East Thomas Rd. in Scottsdale. Snacks and beverages will be served amid the buzz of conversation and guitar riffs.
A $25 contribution to Hallman’s campaign gets you in the door.
