This Sunday, Dec 3, Menifee's very own Michelle Crowley will be performing a benefit concert, here in Menifee, to raise funds for the families of the fallen firefighters in the Esperanza Fire.

We wrote about Michelle Crowley last May, as a rising country music artist, having opened for Carrie Underwood at a concert in Morongo.

The event takes place at the Wooden Nickel Ranch, at 1:00pm, and runs all the way to 8:00pm. Michelle will be performing her signature song, "Heart of a Hero", which happens to be about firefighters.

Tickets cost $15.00 per adult, and $8.00 per child (0-13), or $50.00 for a group of five.

You can listen to Michelle's music on her website here.

You can also visit Menifee Mail Station (next to Fantastic Sams in the Albertson's Shopping Center), to buy Michelle's CD.

Some bad news about a popular hang out for live music lovers. Madlin's Coffee House, located in the Adobe Plaza, on the corner of Jefferson and Overland in Temecula, was ordered by the City of Temecula to cease playing live music. At 11:00am this morning, city officials told the coffee shop that no more bands could play there effectively immediately. Hence, tonight's shows, and all future shows are cancelled.

Madlin's was the only "alcohol-free" place in Temecula where young adults could go to hear live rock music, and where parents didn't have to worry about being subjected to drunken crowds. Many local area bands relied on Madlin's to showcase their talent.

At issue is a $3,800.00 "Conditional Use Permit" that the City requires in order to play live music. Neither Madlin's nor their event promoter, Full Value Entertainment, was willing to pay the non-refundable fee, because the City would not guarantee that a permit be granted.

Bill Gould, who operates Full Value Entertainment, plans to announce a new location next week in Murrieta where the music will continue playing. The first gig, dubbed "The Big Summer Bash" is scheduled for July 30. In addition, Bill announced a location in Fullerton where his company will also book bands.

Frankly, Madlin's is going to lose business as a result of this, which means less tax revenue for the City of Temecula. And it sounds like Murrieta is going to win, because music lovers are going to there instead.
