DelbaFest '08

March 8-9, 2008

Delba, TX

 

DelbaFest was the brainstorm of Tim Madden in an effort to raise money to help his brother who has a major illness and needs funds to help pay his expenses.  Tim called some friends and family who also love Texas music and his brother, and those friends called or e-mailed friends...well, you get the idea.  All these friends came together and did what was  needed to do to throw a two day festival in three weeks time.  There is A LOT of work involved in planning and executing even the smallest of events like this, and my hat goes off to all those who gave of their time, talents and love.  A special thanks to all the artists who came and played their hearts out, gave merchandise and helped raise money for a gentle, hard working man who is very ill and needs support.  It was a really fun event and it always amazes me how the Texas music family comes together and support others when needed.  I am very privileged to be a part of this family.
