I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I know I did! 

 

I kicked off the holiday season by producing an incredibly successful Malibu concert, and fundraiser to benefit the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation.

(Ed Sheeran & Charlie Scola, AKA...  PartyCharlie.) 

 

Following a comedy set by David Spade and a thank-you from foundation Executive Vice President Andrea Joseph — whose son Brandon suffers from EB — Courteney Cox stepped onto the stage to introduce Sheeran, who immediately gave the crowd clearance to celebrate the evening.

Thanksgiving Day party ideas, from around the web!

Thanksgiving day will soon be here, and boy do I have a lot to be thankful for!

 

I had the pleasure of producing the Proclaimed Justice Fundraiser in Brentwood, California.

We kicked this amazing event off with Kodaline, an Irish rock band. 

 

Next, the beautiful, and talented Sarah Silverman took the stage, and had us all in stitches!

 

The Dixie Chicks, our main entertainment, rocked the house!

 

When Natalie Maines, and the band hit the stage, the place went wild! WHAT A NIGHT!!!

(I had BLAST listening to the Band during the sound check!) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next extravaganza that I will be producing, will be for the EB Kids Fundraiser, on November 15th, featuring the wonderful singer-songwriter, musician, and occasional actor, Ed Sheeran!
