4th Annual Brandon’s Revue, to be held Saturday, August 8 at the Kendall County Fairgrounds in Boerne. This is shaping up to be a great concert event, and it is time to buy your tickets! As you know, all proceeds will go to the Brandon Gallagher-Manning Endowment Fund that supports Boerne’s Cibolo Nature Center.

· At 7:00 PM Matt Harlan will take the stage. He is an up-and-coming Texas singer-songwriter and childhood friend of Brandon’s, and who was recently described by the Houston Chronicle as “a young man’s James McMurtry. You can learn more about him athttp://www.reverbnation.com/mattharlan
· Our headliner is Austin-based singer/songwriter and recording artist Jimmy LaFave, and he will play from 8:30ish until about 11:00 PM. Jimmy has won the Austin Music Award for best singer-songwriter twice and has performed repeatedly on Austin City Limits and NPR’s Mountain Stage.

a note about the endowment...
This endowment was established in 2001 as a memorial to our son Brandon who died tragically in a car accident at the age of 21. We selected The Cibolo Nature Center to receive the endowment’s annual grant (which is administered by the San Antonio Area Foundation) to support their annual Songs and Stories Concert Series. It is our sincere wish that Brandon’s love of music, family and friends will inspire you to share time with those who mean the most. We urge you to support the Cibolo Nature Center as they strive in their mission . . .
. . . to promote the conservation of natural resources through education and stewardship.
Please help us make this fundraiser a great success. Forward this invitation to your friends and neighbors, and come out for a great evening!
