David Landis (The Gay Gourmet at the San Francisco Bay Times) and husband Sean Dowdall on April 23, 2026, hosted a 10th anniversary fundraiser party for the Amateur Music Network. It was held at The Academy SF. Headed by the indomitable Lolly Lewis, the network matches amateur musicians with professionals so they can learn more and engage more with music. At this gala fundraiser, jazz singer Candace Johnson, opera/symphony star Nick Phan, and Broadway favorite Karen Mason performed for around 70 people. The event raised close to $ 35,000.
