MHCC instructors set to perform Haiti relief concert Feb. 13
The Advocate
A concert will be held Feb. 13 at Mt. Scott Community Center from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. as part of a Haiti relief effort by the band Home Brewed.
“Anything in profit over the cost of the hall will go to Doctors Without Borders,” bassist and MHCC math instructor Rob Hauss said.
The band is comprised of Hauss on bass, Bill Covell, another MHCC math instructor, on lead guitar, his brother Jim Covell on drums, his son Charlie Covell on keyboards, Dave DeVore on rhythm guitar and vocals, Bonnie Hastings on vocals and guitar, and Sherry Costar on vocals.
“(We formed) maybe about three or four years ago,” Hauss said. “I’d call it a midlife crisis which is cheaper than a Ferrari.”
Hauss said the name Home Brewed came from the fact that “two of the people in the band are brothers.”
Home Brewed is a classic rock cover band.
“It’s basically old school classic rock,” Hauss said. “We play The Eagles, a few Bonnie Raitt-type songs.”
When it comes to the songs that will be played at the show, Hauss said “The set list is evolving.”
Asked why the band decided to put on a relief show for Haiti, Hauss said the idea came from retired MHCC English instructor Dan Hannon.
“It was Dan’s idea. I think he wanted originally to host an event that strengthened neighborhood ties and provided relief (for Haiti,)” Hauss said.
When it comes to the outcome of the event, Hauss said “I hope we have fun at the event. Make a little money and hopefully help some people.”
The Mt. Scott Community Center is located at SE 72nd street in Portland.
