Community News Concert News By Jason Herman / February 6, 2024 Jam for Jodi is an organization started to help one of our DMV and music community family members. If you’ve attended a show at Baltimore’s 8X10 Club in the last decade, chances are good you have encountered our friend Jodi. From working in the box office and behind the bar, to running the shows when the owners were out of town, to working with national acts like Cris Jacobs, Turkuaz, and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Jodi has been a true “Jill of All Trades” at the club, and a fixture in the Baltimore music community. You may have also met Jodi working behind the scenes at festivals like The Ramble Festival, Charm City Bluegrass, Believe in Music, and the MoonRise Festival, artists, crew, and members of the music community always recognize Jodi and are always happy and grateful to see Jodi.At thirteen Jodi was diagnosed with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys. There is no cure for this disease, and while medication is available, Jodi’s condition is too far along for any meds to help. This extremely painful condition makes even the simplest tasks difficult, and Jodi’s ability to work is severely limited. Jodi is the last living female from her mother’s side of the family; Her Mom, Aunt, Grandmother, and Great-Aunt have all passed away from this terrible, hereditary disease. Now Jodi needs a kidney and we and others in the DMV Music Community are determined to help her find one. For all the joy that Jodi gives the music community, it is now our turn to give her a little bit of that love back and learn a little bit more about Jodi. Please take the time to watch the video, visit the website, and consider helping Jodi out. Even if being a living donor isn't right for you, there are other ways to help. On this Saturday, February 10th there is a benefit show at True Chesapeake in Baltimore featuring Natalie Brooke after the Psycho Killers are finished burning down the house over at Union Craft. We hope you can join the DMV and Baltimore music community as we come together to make a meaningful impact on the life of one of our own.Ticket links can be found below, but most importantly, read more about our beloved commuty member here and learn how you can further support Jodi.
