Hurricane Relief Concert to Feature Local Bands

Local musicians, including some Skippack regulars, are coming together to raise money this weekend for hurricane relief through the same non-profit that ran the 12-12-12 Concert at Madison Square Garden.

The event will be held on Feb. 17 at 3:30 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church on Valley Forge Road in Fairview Village, and will raise funds for the Robin Hood Relief Fund, responsible for the 12-12-12 Concert, and Lutheran World Relief.

Dr. Ben’s Backbone Blues Band, a staple on the Skippack music scene, will perform as a trio, and the concert will feature MC Frank Raffa of Sound Sensation DJs, Gloria Galante and the West Chester Harp Ensemble, vocalist Adrienne Reed, the Lauren Lark Jazz Band, and more.

The Dr. Ben Grisafi-fronted Backbone Blues Band plays regularly at Hotel Fiesole, Justin’s Carriage House, and other locations in the area.

Tickets are $10 per person, in cash at the door.
