Thumper, one of omahas premier singer, songwriter, and jazz musicians has created a campaign and decided to put on a series of both indoor and outdoor concerts from now through December 31st 2006 for JADA (Jazz Against Domestic Abuse ) Due to the recent rising of domestic abuse cases in Omaha, Thumper who just recently played a benefit concert back in May to raise money to help find Amber Harris, has decided to step up to the plate again to help the victims of domestic abuse in omaha through his music. Through the end of the year, a portion of all of his paid shows, and all of the raised money from his free shows, plus a portion of all CD sales from his latest CD "Six Education" will go JADA. Thumper has done several benefit concerts in the past and plans to continue as long as he can. The money donated through JADA will go to Shelters, and Programs of Greater Omaha Community Action and other agencies to help past, and present victims of domestic abuse move away from danger and on to a better life. Starting August 18th Thumper will be starting off concert in the park series at Dreamland park 24th and Lake St. at 6:30pm on Omaha followed by the next concert on Aug 25th at the Gene Leahey Mall on 10th and Farnam St at the same time. Each Friday the outdoor concert will rotate between the two Parks, along with other shows and performances each week through out the rest of the year.
