Early jam band group God Street Wine announced they will perform two benefit concerts, supporting MS4MS (Mission Stadiums for Multiple Sclerosis). The shows take place Sept. 30 at Cutting Room in NYC, and Oct. 1 at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock.
Formed in 1988, by Lo Faber, Aaron Maxwell, Dan Pifer, Jon Bevo, and Tom Osander, God Street Wine played a prominent role in the early jam band scene alongside fellow New Yorkers Blues Traveler and Spin Doctors. They released five albums and performed more than 1,000 shows across the United States in their first decade together. The band performed alongside The Allman Brothers, Bruce Hornsby, The Black Crowes, and more.
In 1999 the band split up after playing a three-night farewell engagement at the Wetlands Preserve in NYC. Selected performances from these final shows were compiled into the posthumous live album Good To the Last Drop. A decade later they reunited and performed four concerts in NYC benefiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Spread across the globe, the group collaborated to release their 2019 album This Fine Town. Now the original fivesome will reunite yet again with two shows to benefit MS4MS (Mission Stadiums for Multiple Sclerosis).
Michael Weiss, God Street Wine’s long-time man of many hats, poker buddy, and friend, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2004 and is a patient ambassador and advisory board member with MS4MS. Mission Stadiums for Multiple Sclerosis (MS4MS) is a sports and entertainment-focused non-profit
organization whose mission is to raise awareness of MS at events and venues, while raising funds directly for families impacted and for the advancement of research at the Johns Hopkins MS Research Center in hopes of finding a cure.
