This benefit show was organized to raise money for Leftover Salmon banjoist Mark Vann, who had recently been diagnosed with melanoma. Mike played bass for an instrumental set that featured Gary “El Buho” Gazaway on trumpet, Aaron Johnston on drums, Floyd King on saxophone, and Scott Murawski on guitar. Later in the evening Mike sat in with DJ Logic in a lineup that included the Deep Banana Blackout horn section, Eric Kalb on drums, and John Medeski on keyboards.
