What is Bands for Brains?
Bands for Brains is a virtual fundraiser concert to raise money for brain injury research. The concert takes place on May 15, 2021 at 7 p.m. EST on the Bands for Brains youtube channel. Please note that even though this concert is ticketed, it is free to attend! Remember that it is also fundraiser, and donations are greatly appreciated! The event is organized by Riley, a high school junior from the greater Baltimore, Maryland area. Riley is not only a music lover, but has a personal experience regarding brain injuries. Riley’s mom acquired a traumatic brain injury in 2015, and she remains in a minimally conscious state. All revenue that this event creates will be going directly to the Brain Injury Association of Maryland (BIAMD). We’ve brought together some amazing musicians who have generously contributed their time and their talent, and they will be performing some really great sets curated just for this show. So come and listen to some great music, for a great cause!

TIONESTA
Tionesta was formed in 2018 by Steve “Durango” Williams and Steven Sexton while the two attended The University of Maryland in College Park. In 2019, the group added Williams’ former bandmate Bryant Roesch from Syracuse, New York, and brought on Baltimore locals Spencer Cox and Taylor Gomolisky. Tionesta released its first EP “Greatest Hits” in March of 2019. The EP was well received in Baltimore with the band selling out it’s debut performance and the four tracks each receiving air time across Baltimore radio stations. In March of 2021, the group will be releasing tracks from their debut album “Tionesta” as three singles across March and April. The full album will be released on May 7th, 2021. |
