In 2016, up-and-coming jamgrass act Part & Parcel thought it would be fun to get some local Colorado-based artists together and host a charitable night of musical collaborations, during a night dubbed the “Corduroy Classic”.
On Friday, November 8th, Denver, CO’s Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom will host the fourth-annual Corduroy Classic, which will see performances by host band Part & Parcel in addition to members of Eminence Ensemble, The Sweet Lillies, Envy ALO, Analog Sun, The Drunken Hearts, Emily Clark, Sasha Brown, Jack Cloonan, and The Mercenary Horns. Flash Mountain Flood and Morsel will handle the evening’s opening duties.
Part & Parcel’s fourth annual Corduroy Classic will help raise money on behalf of RIP Medical Debt. RIP Medical Debt is an amazing nonprofit dedicated to abolishing medical debt and providing relief for tens of millions of Americans in need. This year’s event will be sponsored by Odell Brewing Company and Fire on the Mountain. Because RIP Medical Debt is able to purchase debt for pennies on the dollar, this allows donors to maximize the value of their contribution. Every dollar donated is roughly equivalent to 100 dollars of medical debt abolished. This means we can really make a huge impact. Part & Parcel and their team have already raised enough money to forgive over $200,000 worth of medical debt, with a goal to reach over $500,000!
RIP Medical Debt was featured on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver in 2016. You can watch that segment below:
