Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) November 18, 2006 -- Acoustic rock band Simple People will headline a benefit concert on November 20, 2006, at the Idaho Falls Civic Auditorium. Proceeds from the show will be used to help pay for a new 75,000 square foot skate park for youth in the Idaho Falls area.

Student governments are actively promoting the concert, which will also feature two local winners of a recent Battle of the Bands competition as opening acts.

Simple People vocalist/guitarist Dan Cutler comments, "It's great to see the local government involving the youth in such a constructive way. We're thrilled to support this effort. Mayor Fuhriman and the city of Idaho Falls have been great to work with, and we're looking forward to a fun show for a great cause."
