2021 Becky's Bash for Education
The first annual Bash was held at the Tampa Garden Club on October 29th, 2021. With over 450 attendees, we raised $123,000 for our current and future recipients of the Becky Walker Scholarship for Outstanding Achievement. A huge thank you to everyone who donated and attended for this amazing cause to honor Becky!

Trae Pierce Band
Grammy Award-winning bassist Trae Pierce is leading a wild new musical experience known as Trae Pierce & the T-Stones (TPTS). Defined by hard-edged funk and hip-hop mixed with rock and blues, TPTS has developed a high-energy live show with a modern feel that also recalls the unstoppable grooves of Bootsy Collins: they “wants to funk you up!” Trae is a world-class bassist and four-time Grammy Award-winner (with the legendary Blind Boys of Alabama) who cut his bass chops as a member of The Ohio Players.

Lou's Lips
Lou's Lips is a New York City music collective known for their fusion of rock, soul and blues. The band consists of Pierce Kline, Tim Cotilla, Andrew Nappo, Cole DeThomasis and Thompson Brandes--Becky's oldest son.
