Live on the Lawn: Soup Dogs & James Beam

Friday, September 18, 2026

Get ready for an evening of live music, great food, and community impact as Soup Dogs take the stage at Fiction @ J. Bookwalter.

Born right here in the Tri-Cities, Soup Dogs began when a group of Columbia Center Rotarians came together to play music for a fundraiser supporting the fight against human trafficking. What started as a one-night jam has grown into a local favorite, bringing an energetic mix of familiar rock classics, sing-along favorites, and originals to venues throughout the Tri-Cities.

Even better, the music comes with a mission. A portion of ticket sales from the evening will benefit the Columbia Center Rotary Humanitarian Fund and its efforts to combat human trafficking, helping support education, awareness, community resources, and organizations serving those impacted by trafficking.
