Matt Davis, of Dowell, lead singer of the band “Party Pants” performs on Sunday during the Carbondale New School’s 2016 Locally Grown Fundraiser at Rustle Hills Winery in Cobden. “We love what we do,” Davis said. “When we come to a place where the people enjoy it, it’s so much fun. I am personally passionate about education so when I heard that the New School is taking a different approach to education, I was 100 percent in to preform.” He said the band likes to find a couple events each year where they can donate their time for a good cause. “When we preform we just make sure that we have a good time, and the audience has a good time,” said Davis. “That’s pretty much all we are there for.” — April 17, 2016, Carbondale, Ill.
