Happy Chichester and Mike Coykendall are playing The Southgate House Revival on Thursday, September 17th and are debuting the concept of Play it Forward.

Do you want to help? Do you know someone searching for new music but unable to bring themselves to gamble $10 on something unfamiliar?
Getting people to explore new live music sometimes takes a random act of kindness — so your underwriting their experience provides them the chance to check out the show at no cost, making it easy. Sharing music and helping the artist — that’s the goal of Play It Forward.
