Kasim Sulton to Open Meat Loaf Hurricane Benefit Concert



Singer / songwriter Kasim Sulton will be playing a short acoustic set to open the Meat Loaf Benefit Concert for the victims and survivors of Hurricane Katrina on Saturday 17 September in Savannah, Georgia, at the Oglethorpe Speedway Park.



Meat Loaf was due to play a concert at the Beau Rivage casino in Biloxi, MS on Friday 16 Sept. but obviously this date will not be able to take place so instead he has arranged a "Hurricane Relief" concert. Kasim plays bass and is the Musical Director for Meat Loaf as well as having a successful solo career so he jumped at the chance to open this concert to help the victims. "I was stunned to see the TV pictures with all the devastation that occurred. We were scheduled to play in Biloxi but amazingly, there is hardly anything left there. It's so sad. I hope this concert will raise a lot of money to help the people who have lost everything. Keep everyone who lost loved ones, homes, possessions and the lost ones themselves in your prayers."



Tickets for the $25 General Admission event go on sale on sale at Oglethorpe Speedway Park on Thursday (8th) at 9:00am. Tickets may also be purchased by telephone using Visa or MasterCard at 912-964-8200.



As well as raising money at the concert, attendees are asked to bring items requested by the Red Cross for the hurricane relief efforts. Yellow Freight Lines will have a truck and trailer at the speedway track which will go directly to the Red Cross effort in Biloxi, Mississippi.



Kasim Sulton is entering his 29th year in the music business. He started playing (and still tours) with Todd Rundgren back in 1976 and he first toured with Meat Loaf in 1993. Both Kasim and Todd performed on Meat Loaf's highly successful albums Bat Out Of Hell (1977) and Bat Out Of Hell II (1993). Kasim's latest album Quid Pro Quo was released in 2002.
