A NIGHT OF GIVING ~ A Musical Benefit for Hospitality House Mikail Graham--composer, performer, events promoter and KVMR broadcaster--is a hero to the homeless in Nevada County. His passion for those in need of shelter prompted him to produce December’s “Night of Giving: A Benefit for Hospitality House,” the nonprofit’s biggest fundraiser in its two years of operation. Raising more than $10,000, the event featured dozens of musical and spoken word performers and attracted hundreds of attendees who generously gave to the nonprofit’s cause. Graham and his company, Nevada City Music Events, coordinated the benefit and donated all proceeds to Hospitality House. Graham, with family roots in Nevada County dating back to 1849, is a well-known musician who in 1997 produced and mixed the CD “Loafing Glory” for folk legend Utah Phillips, a work that was nominated for an award by the National American Independent Record Distributors. He is co-founder of emagic Inc., now owned by Apple computers, and has served as design consultant for many musical technology companies such as BIAS, digidesign, Eventide, Lexicon and ZOOM. He is also co-founder of Nevada City Music Events, www.nevadacitymusicevents.com, Hospitality House wants to thank Mikail for his boundless generosity and applauds his devotion to the needs of the homeless in Nevada County.
