Thanksgiving is next week, but the Tucson Kitchen Musicians Association is giving music fans something to be thankful for this weekend when they host a fundraising concert with some of Tucson’s best-known artists.

Eric Schaffer & The Other Troublemakers will perform with special guest Heather Hardy at the concert on Saturday, November 20th at the Club Congress Plaza downtown; John Coinman; and The Tirebiters, the trio of veteran Tucson musicians Lex Browning, Gray Mackender and Steve Grams.

Proceeds from the concert will support TKMA’s Tucson Folk Festival 2022 from April 9-11 in the historic El Presidio neighborhood of downtown.

This will be the first Tucson show for folk rock / Americana band Eric Schaffer & The Other Troublemakers after their recent road trip that included headlining stops at the Musical Instrument Museum & Performance Center in Phoenix and shows in Colorado, Utah and New Mexico.

Schaffer, an award-winning songwriter, shares the limelight with Arizona Blues Hall of Fame drummer Bruce Halper, ex-Gila Bend frontman Loren Dircks on lead guitar and “Tempe Sound” veteran Johnny Zapp on bass.
