Angie Nixon, the progressive Democratic candidate for one of Florida\u2019s U.S. Senate seats, is getting a boost from Orlando musicians and comedians next week at Will\u2019s Pub.<\/p>\n

The show features a who\u2019s who of community-minded musicians and comedians, with all proceeds going to Angie Nixon\u2019s campaign. Additionally, Raise Our Voices will be on hand to assist with voter registration.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville Democrat Nixon, who has been endorsed by both<\/a> Orlando\u2019s Rep. Maxwell Frost and mayoral candidate Dr. Anna V. Eskamani, is running to unseat Republican Ashley Moody in November.<\/p>\n

The roster of comedians includes Aimee LeCours and friends, Simon Nash and Lee Cohen, with hosting and a few mordant chuckles coming from Larry Fulford. Yes, the same Larry Fulford who did the \u201cAnything but ICE\u201d job fair-as-protest action<\/a> earlier this year. Music will be performed loudly and angrily by Curtains, M.A.C.E. and David Zim.<\/p>\n

The Angie for Florida: Concert & Community fundraiser happens Wednesday, Sept. 23, 7 p.m. at Will\u2019s Pub<\/a>. The door price is $15 (or pay more, if you prefer!), and 100 percent of all money raised at the door goes to Angie Nixon\u2019s run to flip a U.S. Senate seat.<\/p>\n
