Brought to you by Six Strings for Freedom Danielle Brown Rios writer
On May 13, 2022, Friday night at The Wakehouse in Reedley there was a concert with Scott Stevens Six String’s for Freedom. Clay MC had set up the fundraiser to support all first responders, and retired ones, from police, fire fighters, EMT, and so much more. To thank them all they do for are community and hard work. As I arrived around at 7:45pm, two officers were taking the tickets and helping out, I was able to talk to them they asked me what my logo on my shirt was so I explained I write for CCBIKER, and gave them an insight on what we do. They were impressed and began talking to me about things, for one they told me one was still on the job and one was retired. And how much this meant to them knowing people still care. I started telling them I could relate do to the fact I have family in the police department, and retired and also had an uncle that was a fire fighter, and worked in the forest fires. He even worked along with inmates saying they were the hardest workers and u could also count on them too. We talked about how the crime and how the job effects there life, family, emotionally, to the fear of every day job. But most of all they said they love the job because they wanted to make a difference in today and in are children’s life for the good. They talked about wanting fewer valances, less hate, helping when they can. They talked about sad stories. And I know it to real. We see it are self’s on the news what they have to do every day. The hardest part was them saying I pray I just make it home every night to my wife and kids and family. They were so relaxed and so real and happy to do their job, and they enjoyed being a part of the concert that night as well. They felt so grateful to get appreciated.

Scott Stevens and the band (guitarist) Tim Pasley and (drummer) Nico Medina, started coming out and getting things ready, so I went down to introduce myself and let him know I was going to interview him if it was still ok at the end. Scott was ok with it and happy to do it. I was able to talk to Scott for a little bit while the others set up. Scott told me that he was asked to do this and they came out here from Tennessee the night before, to come out and play. And 3 other places then heading back to Tennessee.
