When rapper Coolio died on Sept. 28 from a reported cardiac arrest, millions of hip-hop fans mourned his passing.
Pop-punk group Bowling for Soup will be replacing Coolio at a local charity concert in December., millions of hip-hop fans mourned his passing. Thanks to a collection of memorable smash hits during the golden age of rap in the '90s, the Grammy-winning musician born Artis Leon Ivey Jr. was still an active touring performer, packing clubs across the country at the time of his death.
As an on-air personality during Rangers games as well as pre- and post-game broadcasts for seven years now, Sandler is an established member of the local sports media. But in the past few months, he’s found that putting on a concert is another game entirely. “I developed an interest, early on, in seeing kids with disabilities get the same opportunities as I had,” he says. “I also appreciated seeing them overcome their challenges.”
The event has continued to grow over the past five years, continually drawing more attendees each year. For 2022, however, Sandler wanted to go bigger in an effort to increase his charity’s exposure beyond local sports fans. Although he’s a music fan, Sandler isn’t an avid concertgoer, due mainly to his full-time gig working nights for the Rangers. As a result, concert planning and promotion aren’t exactly his field of expertise.
Instead of letting the tragic news derail plans for Swinging for a Cause’s new musical direction, he and Avezzano got back to work. They soon found another act, and arguably one that will draw more locals. North Texas pop-punk heroes Bowling For Soup ended up being available to replace Coolio after the event moved its date to Dec. 11 to avoid a conflict with a Dallas Cowboys game.
