Benefit Concert For Unwritten Law Frontman Raises $49,000 After Tragic House Fire
Suburban Noize Records, Bill Silva, and The House Of Blues arranged a benefit show with performances from Jason Mraz, Switchfoot, Unwritten Law and Timmy Curran that helped raise over $49,000 for UNWRITTEN LAW frontman Scott Russo at a recent benefit concert. Russo and his family were left homeless after their Rancho Penasquitos home caught fire on Thursday, February 5, and damages are estimated at $500,000.
“I’m truly grateful to everyone for their overwhelming support.” said Russo. “It has been a blessing to my family that people have shown us such generosity in our time of need. For friends like Jason Mraz, Switchfoot, Anya Marina, and Timmy Curran to come down and play with their busy schedules, was amazing. It was one of those deals where they had to play their set, jump off stage, and rush to the airport to get to gigs or other commitments. They could have easily said, ‘we can’t play Scott we’re too busy,’ but they stepped up and made it happen and for that I’m forever grateful. It was truly a special night for my family.”
To date over $55,000 has been raised through fan donations, UNITE, the San Diego Music Foundation and the sold-out benefit concert at the House of Blues. Donations for the Russo family can still be made through PayPal or by mailing a check to the address below.

Ok, that is horrible, and this is going to sound bad, but…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! hA!
You mean to tell me he had no insurance on a $500,000 house?!?!?!?!?
What a joke, first off anyone that can afford a $500,000 dollar house doesn’t need donations, and there is no way he didn’t have home-owners because you can’t get a mortgage without it. If it had a $500,000 house and no mortgage he is pretty well off, so basicallyhe is probably just pocketing the money and the insurance is going to pay for the damanges.
