Musician Del Couch is one of those folks who is always doing something for somebody else.
Playing at a benefit.
Loaning his PA system to a school function.
Troubleshooting when somebody’s equipment goes on the fritz.
Saturday at Renaissance on 9th, it’s about Del Couch.
The Del Couch Musical Education Foundation, that is.
Working with schools and other civic organizations, it’s a new nonprofit designed to give youth a chance to explore and develop their musical talents.
The 6 p.m. foundation fundraiser ought to be a blast.
Alabama legend Jeff Cook & The Allstar Goodtime Band, the Billy Rice Band, Shaman, John Rinell, Colton Cason, Jacob Castro and foundation students will rock the Renaissance.

The Del Couch Music Education Foundation event more than rocked - it was awesome! It was an almost mystical experience to see Del Couch and his Shaman Band, The Billy Rice Band, the nationally famous Jeff Cook of "Alabama" and the Foundation's "kids" - 19-year-old Colton Cason and 9-year-old Jacob Castro - jamming at the end of the evening while the dinner audience swayed their votive lights in tempo! And it seems that this is only the beginning of what the Del Couch Music Education Foundation will offer us and our youth in the near future.
