Remember where you were the day Elliott Smith died? Many of the musicians gathering at the Brick (1727 McGee, 816-421-1634) tonight can probably answer that question. Local talents Martin Bush, Thom Hoskins, Andrew Ashby, Margo May, Witch and Hare, Sons of Great Dane, along with others, pay tribute to one of indie rock's most influential songwriters by performing his music. Now in its third year, the Elliott Smith Memorial Show and Fundraiser benefits Free Arts for Abused Children, which helps provide youngsters with instruments and music lessons.
