This Sunday, May 24, you’re invited to Cat’s Cradle Back Room for an evening of live music for a great cause. Caleb Caudle, Laurelyn Dossett, and the Vagabond Saints Society will be on stage starting at 7 p.m., raising funds for mental health services for North Carolina musicians. The show is called “Music for Mental Health,” and it’s the brainchild of Mike Allen, the founder and operator of the Wake Forest Listening Room.

Click here for tickets to Sunday’s show. Proceeds support Be Good To Yourself, the SIMS Foundation, and Backline.

Aaron welcomed Mike Allen on the air to chat about Sunday’s show – and the importance of the cause it’s supporting.
