TaiShanNorthwest musicians Tai Shan and Angela Reed are holding a benefit concert for People for Puget Sound this Sunday, March 21, at Nectar Lounge (412 N. 36th St).  “Tiny Planet – A Benefit for Puget Sound” aims to raise awareness for Northwest shorelines and clean waters.  Seattle-based songwriter Shan wrote her song “Tiny Planet” as result of witnessing water pollution firsthand and decided she needed to do something to help. 

“It was raining the day I wrote Tiny Planet. I was at Discovery Park. I wandered down to the shore and watched oily water spilling from a drain pipe into the sound.

The Puget Sound has given me a wealth of stories that proves we are a part of something so much larger than we know in our day to day life.  I wanted to help in the best way I knew how, through song.”

In 2009, proceeds from the online sales of Shan’s song were donated to People for Puget Sound.  Sunday’s concert is a celebration of all the money raised so far.  The show starts at 8:00 p.m. and 100% of the $10 cover will also go to the environmental non-profit.
