Concert Preview: Rich Hopkins and the Luminarios


Music really becomes even more beautiful when it is used to help support a positive cause.

Rich Hopkins and the Luminarios will be performing live at Club Congress on Tuesday for the annual Casa Maria Thanksgiving Benefit. Casa Maria, usually located at 401 E. 26th St., has been serving the homeless and less fortunate for more than two decades.

In addition to feeding those in need, Casa Maria also helps immigrants seek legal aid and American citizenship lessons in Spanish. For their Thanksgiving Benefit, Casa Maria will be handing out large bags of groceries in addition to their normal soup, bread and coffee meals.

Rich Hopkins started the annual tradition of the Thanksgiving Benefit with Casa Maria after he became involved with them as a result of writing a song and shooting a video portraying the struggles of the homeless community.

Grouped with the Luminarios, who will be performing with him on Tuesday, Hopkins is also a guitarist for the Sand Rubies.

The style of Rich Hopkins and the Luminarios is infused with industrial, crunchy guitar riffs and ongoing guitar leads.
