Bands interested in playing Tonic Ball can visit tonicindy.com to sign up through September 17.

Sponsors and proceeds

• On November 10, Tiny Tonic will offer children and families a chance to be a part of the Tonic experience with a free concert and opportunity for families to tour Second Helpings.

Tonic Ball history

Tonic started in 2002 with a one-night performance of Gram Parsons songs at Radio Radio. Since then, it has grown to be one of the most popular nights of art and music in the city each year. Last year’s sold-out concert and related events brought in close to $150,000, with every ticket sale going directly to Second Helpings.
