Annie and the Hedonists: Benefit Concert for MATC Students

Annie and the Hedonists MKE, an award wining New York Blues band are the headliners for the FAST Fund at MATC’s benefit concert on Saturday, May 9th. The good times start to roll at 7 pm at the Falcon Bowl, 801 E. Clarke Street. Annie and the Hedonists were named the 2025 Capital Region Music Awards Blues Band of the Year. The lead singer Annie Rosen grew up on 9th and Walker. She and the lead guitarist, Jonny Rosen both attended MATC before moving to New York in the late 80’s after Jonny was laid off from A.O. Smith. They will be accompanied by talented Milwaukee musicians. The Antigua Latin Inspired Kitchen’s food truck will provide food and share their profits with the FAST Fund. The FAST Fund, the benefit concert’s sponsor, is an 8-year-old non-profit organization that provides emergency assistance to MATC students. It was initiated by AFT Local 212, the MATC faculty and professional staff union because students who are homeless or hungry won’t succeed. Last year the FAST Fund provided assistance to almost 3,000 MATC students experiencing basic needs insecurity. For $50 per ticket, you’ll enjoy a lively evening, be eligible for door prizes and make a real difference in the lives of MATC students.
