The Cosmic Creek Music & Art Extravaganza takes place at 7 Degrees (Laguna Canyon) Saturday night, Oct 3rd 2009 as part of the Cosmic Creek event that includes a retro-style surf contest and beach BBQ.

With performances by an amazing gathering of famous artists, musicians and surf legends, the music and art extravaganza is part Woodstock/ Warhol Factory/ surf stomp/ & great Charity event all rolled into one evening.

A silent auction will be held to help local community charities provide for some needy people, along with Surf Rider clean water testing in the local area. All guitars and art will be on display along with a powerhouse concert guaranteed to be a one of a kind experience.

“Donny and surprise guest musicians will play their hearts out,” says event creator Eric Diamond. In years past these unannounced superstars have included Jackson Brown, Pennywise, G-love, Warren G, & Sugar Ray.  “It’s just a super positive symphony of Art/Music/ Food & people all gathered together for Charity,” says Diamond. “Get your tickets now – this will sell out fast.”

They’re going to be distributing tons of these posters to their huge customer account base to promote Donavon’s shows and in store appearance.

I’m stoked to team up again with my buddy Donavon Frankenreiter again for his upcoming “Pass It Around” Tour this summer and am super grateful to Billabong, Donavon and his crew and Lost Highway Records for their ongoing support. These are all truly wonderful people to be involved with and I am honored to be collaborating with such a company that I truly admire.

These dudes act fast, I was just browsing Billabong’s site and catching up the webcasts of the BillabongPro in Tahiti and saw that they already uploaded the new Poster on their home page.  Check it out here.
