POULSBO — For local music lovers and people who care about their community, there aren’t many reasons not to attend a March 30 benefit show in the name of Poulsbo teen Michael Schrader.

The bill is laden with young North Kitsap bands — two from Kingston, one from Poulsbo — along with the headliner Siren’s Sister, which hails from Seattle. It all kicks off with Uncus at 6:45 p.m. March 30 at the North Kitsap Community Auditorium. 

“One who doesn’t care is one who shouldn’t be,” show organizer Beau Breakey said, reciting lyrics from Alice in Chains song “Dirt,” which pretty much sums up much of the allure for this community show.

Last year, Breakey organized a benefit for local teen April Rauch, who had been diagnosed with a brain lesion on her pituitary gland. That event brought in about 200 people and more than $2,000 for the cause.

This year, 100 percent of the proceeds from the show will go directly to Schrader — who was severely injured in a car crash last November.

“I’d like to encourage people in the community to help each other out,” Breakey said. “When I heard about how extensive the things were that Michael (Schrader) was going through, I (felt) that would be a good cause.”

Schrader has undergone a miraculous recovery.

On Black Friday in November 2006, he and a carload of friends were traveling to Silverdale when they decided to turn around and exited on the Mountain View overpass of State Route 3. There, the car slid on ice, bounced off the guard rail, and snapped a power pole in two before stopping. Schrader took the brunt of the blow.

He was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center, where doctors treated him for a crushed hip, crushed pelvis, broken ribs, arms, collarbone and a broken right femur in addition to internal head and chest injuries.

He has since returned home and returned to North Kitsap High School for his senior year.

A donation fund has been set up for him and his family at Washington Mutual Bank — in the name of George, Janice and Michael Schrader.

In addition to the medical bills of a nearly three-month stay hospital care — some of which was covered by insurance — Schrader is also going to need new front teeth, which is not covered by insurance, his mother, Janice, said.

So Breakey, who knows Schrader through his sister, decided to benefit the cause with a second annual concert. In addition to being an admirable mission, the show is even more community oriented, Breakey said.

“Last year, I tried to focus on getting the biggest names that I could. This year, I decided to change and try to make it more community involved,” Breakey said. “I’m about supporting the community, and one way is by supporting local music.

Kingston bands Uncus and Lick Like a Lion will open the evening while Poulsbo’s Somebody Stop Melvin will play third and Siren’s Sister will headline.
