NOVEMBER 2006 (Austin, Texas) – The Live Oak Coffeehouse next month
hosts the Freddie Steady 5 in a concert benefiting For the Love of
Christi, a grief support program serving Central Texas. Edge City, a
local duo, will open the show. The concert is at 7:30 p.m. on Friday,
December 8, at the Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Church in Northwest
Austin/Cedar Park.

Admission is $10 or a season pass. Student tickets are available at
half-price, $5. Tickets may be purchased online in advance of the
concert, using the secure PayPal service, at
www.liveoakuu.org/coffee/tickets.html.

Three-quarters of the gate goes to the performers, and one-quarter to
the selected charity. Since the coffeehouse is an all-volunteer,
not-for-profit organization, all of the money from admissions paid at
the door and season passes goes to the performers and the charity.

For the Love of Christi was established after the 1985 death of UT
student Christi Lanahan, who was killed by a hit-and-run drunken
driver. Our mission is to provide love, comfort, hope, and ongoing
support to those who are adjusting to life after the death of a loved
one, regardless of the circumstances; and to educate the public
regarding the issues of grief and other concerns of the bereaved. For
more information, visit the organization's Web site at
www.forlovechristi.org or call 467-2600.

From Austin to Prague, from San Francisco to London, Freddie "Steady"
Krc has plied his musical trade for more than 20 years. Descended from
a line of talented Czechoslovakian musicians, Freddie has kept the
family tradition alive by providing his music to people all over the
globe. His drum playing has provided the "Steady" beat for Jerry Jeff
Walker and the Gonzo Compadres for many years. He has also fronted
several of his own bands and played backup for artists as diverse as
Carole King and Roky Erickson. The Freddie Steady 5 is a group of
Freddie's Austin pals -- wait until you see some of their surprises!

Edge City's music combines the singer/songwriter tradition of their
home in Austin, Texas, with the East Coast rock and roll of their
former hometown just outside Baltimore, Maryland. In 1984, Edge City's
Jim Patton and Sherry Brokus ran an ad in the Baltimore and Washington
newspapers looking for players who liked "Byrds, Stones, Van Morrison,
Creedence," and they've stayed pretty true to that for more than 20
years. In 2006, Edge City released their second full-length Austin CD,
"Keepers of the Flame," produced by Bradley Kopp and featuring some of
Austin's finest players: Lloyd Maines, Glenn Fukunaga, Darcie
Deaville, David Webb, Jon Sanchez, and Freddie Krc.

Doors open at 7 p.m. on Friday, December 8, at the Live Oak Unitarian
Universalist Church, located at 3315 El Salido Parkway, Cedar Park.
