THU 9/21 ▼ A+E DISTRICT
OH, IRMA
There’s nothing a little pop music can’t fix, even when a hurricane pummels your town, leaving plenty of people hungry and home- less. The A+E District knows this and is dedicating this month’s Rooftop Unplugged to hurricane aid. Rooftop Relief: Aftermath Supply Drive Concert will feature the sounds of Brendan O’Hara. They’ll collect supplies such as canned foods, diapers, and flashlights to benefit those suffering from Irma’s wrath in the Keys and Caribbean. It’s a nice way to give back and to unite and reconnect with the community. Miamians are strong and together can accomplish amazing feats. Might as well start with a drink and a song under the stars. 7 p.m. Thursday at the Filling Station Lofts, 1657 N. Miami Ave., Miami; aedistrictmiami.event- brite.com. Admission is free with RSVP.
