About Music2Heal
September is Suicide Prevention Month, and a beloved Zionsville family has been working tirelessly to raise awareness and prompt much-needed dialogue and action around the topic of mental health.
In November of 2021, Zionsville residents Randy and Angie Eugenio lost their 19-year-old son Tate, who died by suicide. In 2023, inspired by Tate's love of music, they organized Music2Heal, a concert that brought together local musicians for an incredible night of music and healing. The event featured over 40 artists, hosted nearly 1,000 patrons, and raised more than $15,000 for community health organizations.
The success of the first concert inspired its return in 2024 & 2025.

Meet the Performers
Born in 2022 in the basements of Purdue University, Monaco Groove began to play small house shows in their local DIY music scene. Their cohesion and collaboration as musicians are the pillars to their creative process, which can be heard in their music. They will be sharing some of their original work as well as covers.
The Papercuts started in 2020 at ZCHS, and have been performing pop, rock, and Indie covers ever since. Now based at Purdue University, the current lineup features original members Peter Jalaie (drums) and Roméo Grégoire (vocals, guitar), along with Aaron Fisher (lead guitar) and, for this show, Matt Nelson (bass). The band is also featuring Anjali Gupta (vocals) and Mei Mei Rossi (violin) for a song. They’re grateful to be a part of tonight’s show and hope you enjoy!
3rd Street Collective is a six-piece genre-bending band that makes you feel like you're walking through a record store. You're gonna get some rock, rap, jazz, R&B, and soul all in one show. The band is made up of Grace O'Neil (Vox), TJ Ptak (Guitar/Vox), Jon Nelson (Drums), Jack White (Keys), Jascha Lewit (Bass), and Seth DeWhitt (Sax). 3rd Street met through the Purdue Jazz Program and quickly realized that they shared a love for more than just jazz. They were metal heads, jazz nerds, School of Rock kids, and crate diggers, so they put it all into their style. Since their founding in 2023, they've played over 50 shows throughout the Midwest. Their most recent accomplishment was opening for McKinley Dixon in St. Louis, and they are scheduled to open for Dreamer Isioma next month.
Grant Trammel & Laney Bertsch of Pocket Berries are a folk duo based in Indianapolis. What started as two friends playing music for the pure fun of it quickly grew into something more. In time, they began playing house shows in living rooms & back porches, cultivating a community around the songs they wrote. Their warm, whimsical sound fills a room with harmonies that wash over you and provide an aura of hope for the future. Drawing inspiration from songwriting greats like John Prine and Adrianne Lenker, their music is lived-in, honest, and ever hopeful. It pulls out the marrow of life and asks you to pay attention to it. Last fall in a Michigan cabin with some friends, the duo began recording their songs and bringing them to life thanks to a grassroots effort to raise recording funds. Two years in, the duo says they’re just getting started, and are humbled and full of joy to be playing here today at Music2Heal.
Laminar Flow is a Zionsville-based band known for its versatile sound. The group performs everything from jazz and pop to rock with energy and style.

Many members of the ZSI combo joined together to spread awareness about mental health and to share Tate's story through music. We brought this group together to play at the Music2Heal concert, hoping to perform in memory of Tate and keep this concert going in the future.
This year, Dylan Acquaviva, Avery Benner, Eva Branam, Maddie Callahan, Meredith Herbon, and Micah Hundley will perform the song “What I Did For Love” from A Chorus Line.

Zach Herbon is a talented singer and songwriter who was a former bandmate and close friend of Tate Eugenio. Zach says, “Tate and I had the exact same 5th and 6th grade schedules and were close until his death. Music was always a key component of our friendship, whether playing in a jazz band and combo together or just jamming on the piano. It unified our hearts in a way that not many things can.

She is involved in all-campus band playing trumpet and is a member of IU’s premiere all female acapella group, Ladies First.
