"Ruthie lost a lot of her stuff in flooding after the awful rains last month," says Chandler. "Her basement flooded and that's where she had her studio and that was ruined along with a lot of other stuff." Featuring Amy Ray of Indigo Girls (who released Magnapop's last record on her own Daemon Records), Tim Lee 3 (the Tim Lee of the band used to play in Homemade Sister with Ruthie Morris) and Warm in the Wake, the benefit show will take place at The EARL on December 15.
