Make Melissa Smile at The Whiskey October 7th, 2012


Melissa Smith, 28, from Stevensville, MD, is a beautiful, strong, loving young woman who would love nothing more than to make a difference in the world, smile by smile. She is unable to at this time due to her unfortunate case of "Transverse Myelitis," which is a result of radiation from a long battle of Hodgkin's Lymphoma.


She put herself through 4 years of college, all the while battling cancer, but never gave up something she wanted so badly. She is, to say the least, a fighter. Melissa has

been accepted into the Anne Arundel County Nursing Program of 2012, but cannot attend this semester because she cannot even walk, let alone stand for 10-12 hours a day.


Transverse Myelitis is a rare and extremely painful neurological disorder in which the body attacks its own spinal cord and has spread lesions through her entire spine. This is not only physically and mentally exhausting, but is a huge financial burden as well.



Melissa is well known in the Annapolis area, mainly for her huge smile and her even bigger heart. She has always been passionate about donating and volunteering for charities, and when she was feeling better, she would make weekly meals for the homeless. She has always been dedicated to helping others, and now we are asking for your help in taking the financial stress off a woman who would not only give you the shirt off her back, but never ask for anything in return.


Please help us "Make Melissa Smile."

Thank you in advance for your generosity,

Sarah (Dani) Swisher & Jamie Herrell

That's right, Flying Dog is back again! They'll have lots of awesome beers for you with all kinds of giveaways for the raffle, including the VIP brewery tour in Frederick, MD!!


WRNR is behind the jam once again! Carrie will be hosting the night for us, as well as performing with her band Gatsby! Check out 103.1 WRNR's local music show Naptunes every weekday night at 9PM hosted by Carrie. She will be featuring artists from the acoustic jam in the weeks leading up to it. Carrie and WRNR do a ton for local music so show your support for them as well!


Speakeasy is officially on board this time! They've been a big part of the previous shows but will be there with a merch booth and lots of giveaways for the raffle. They have always been huge supporters of Maryland music. Please check out their links below.


You all know and love the FREEstate Workshop! These guys are some of the biggest supporters of the MD music scene and beyond. They will be there with a merch booth and stuff for the raffle. Check out their awesome work below.


If you aren't familiar with Feed The Scene, you should be! Feed the Scene is a great non-profit organization whose mission is feeding and housing the Baltimore local and visiting music scene for free. They will be there providing food for all the performing artists. Check them out at their link below.


We're doing a video record for this edition! Red 5 Recordings is coming down from Baltimore to record the show. All the bands will get promotional videos of their performance in exchange for playing. Red 5's links are also below.


We are doing an optional $5 cover charge at the door. It's how we will pay for the video record and edit. It's an optional charge to keep the show free but the cover comes with a free beer, rail drink or house wine AND one raffle ticket. So if you plan of having a drink that night, might as well donate to the bands video record and help support local music!


Well, that's all folks! Any new information will be added to the page as it develops. Check back frequently or join the page to follow any updates. Can't wait to see you all there! Jam on!
