Hilton Head’s Deas-Guyz filmed a performance for COVID-19 relief. Here’s how to watch
Right now, you can have one of Hilton Head Island’s most popular bands perform in your living room in an instant.
Deas-Guyz, the band that performs all over the United States, including sold-out Sunday night gigs at The Jazz Corner, has recorded a special performance to benefit local COVID-19 relief efforts.
Through Sunday, fans can make a donation to the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry and receive a private link to stream the concert. All of the proceeds will go toward the foundation’s Lowcountry Community COVID-19 Response Fund, and $9,000 of the $10,000 goal has already been raised.
The donation is “pay what you can,” but the foundation suggests a minimum $25.

About the fund
The Lowcountry Community COVID-19 Response Fund was established in mid-March to support “frontline nonprofits in Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties helping residents with immediate needs caused by the coronavirus.
The fund has granted out about $330,000 to 22 different nonprofits so far and has been used mostly for organizations addressing food and shelter insecurity.
