As previously reported, Lotus held two benefit concerts at Denver’s Fillmore Auditorium to celebrate the lives of the band’s percussionist Chuck Morris and his son Charley Morris who recently died in a tragic kayaking accident. The Fillmore concerts were loaded with special guests joining Lotus, including Dave Watts of The Motet and Anthony Fugate who was a member of Nunchuck with Chuck Morris.

The emotional series of shows were fundraisers for the Morris Family. Donations can Ene be made directly to a GoFundMe campaign established to support the family.

Chuck Morris and Charley Morris were reported missing after failing to return from a kayaking trip on Beaver Lake near Fayetteville, Arkansas on Thursday, March 16. After an extensive recovery effort, officials announced the bodies were recovered on Sunday, April 9.

Both of Lotus’ Morris Family Benefit shows in Denver are available for on-demand viewing for all nugs.net subscribers. Up next for Lotus are performances at next weekend’s Summer Camp festival in Central Illinois.

“Desert Blooms” appeared on Lotus’ 2022 album, Bloom & Recede. Filmed during the second benefit show on April 22, footage of Lotus performing “Desert Blooms,” with Watts and Fugate playing Morris’ percussion kit, can be viewed below:
