Over the last six months, a group of social media musicians in San Antonio have been playing music together under the name, #TwitterJamBand. It's really been a way to get friends together, jam and just have some fun. In the process, the band is being noticed by the media, world-wide. As the band and the get-togethers progressed, they decided to combine social media with social good by holding what they believe to be the first live, streaming benefit concert during the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 7 (the band is not associated with the NFL). To learn more, please view http://www.theotherhalftimeshow.org. All donations will go directly to band’s friend, Holly Julian, who is having a lung transplant and needs about $100,000.00 to help defray her out of pocket costs that insurance won't cover. So far, Holly has raised $20,000.00 and the band hopes to raise $80,000.00 during this event. Related media coverage:
