Bocci's Cellar Benefit 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Bocci's Cellar is having a benefit for a Santa Cruz musician who was killed this week. 

Musician Mike Schaupp was killed by a hit-and-run driver Tuesday on Highway 17 while riding his motorcycle. Story here.

He was scheduled to debut Bocci's with his new project, Mike Shop Band on Dec 17th. Now, the night is a benefit for him with Murphy's Wagon and special guests, including family and friends of Mike who will be playing this event in his honor.

This show is free. However, they will be taking donations at the event. ALL proceeds will go to benefit Mikes family.

Says Bocci's: Michael was an incredible musician and a beautiful human being. We encourage anyone who knew Mike to attend and share their stories.
