Listen up, y'all; Brother Jimmy's BBQ, the fauvist and festive BBQ cavern near Union Square, is hosting a "Southern Appreciation Night" fundraiser for tornado relief tomorrow (Wednesday) night. 100% of the proceeds will benefit tornado disaster relief. Admission is free, but everyone is encouraged to put $20 down for a bracelet that gets you one hour of free draft beer and a $3 beer and liquor special all night.
There will be performances by comedians Peyton Clarkson and Hunter Cain, and live music from "the hilarious acoustic duo Stuckey & Murray." And of course, plenty of BBQ to consume for a good cause. The whole shebang is hosted by Mississippi native Lance Bass.
8 p.m. // 116 East 16th Street // (212) 673-6465
