----
Every year across the country our Rocktoberfest musicians Rock For Good to raise awareness - and critical funds - for our CoolKids. From now until October 22nd, we'll be highlighting the musicians who will be rocking virtually with us at this year's Rocktoberfest.
Up this week: Acoustic Karma from NYC featuring Doug Newsome, Koma Gandy Fischbein, Greg Khost, Doug Steinschneider, Felix Partow, and Linda Champagne.
How did Acoustic Karma get started?
Koma and Doug met and saw each other play and just decided to give it a try. We then added members each year and the band grew to be what it is today!

How did you get involved with ALTSO?
I (Doug) met Mead Welles [founder of ALTSO] at a conference in Bermuda in 2009. That year I came to Rocktoberfest, which was being held at BB King's. Mead promptly invited me to play with him on stage.
And we've been formally the Acoustic Karma since 2014.
