Torchy's Troubadours

Torchy Blaine, one time radio personality and a large supporter of Indie music and musicians needs your help.

Torchy has been stricken with Lyme disease. Sadly, it has affected her in such an adverse way; that daily life has become very difficult.

The music community has pulled together, and along with her good friend KATHY FALCEY (www.tunes2ya.com) has organized a series of fundraising events to help combat this dreadful ailment.

The next event, an all ages effort, will be held at 3pm est. on 6/19 at BREWSTERS BAR and BOWLING ALLEY in Bradley Beach NJ. A suggested donation of $10 is all you need to get in. There will be raffles as well as a fantastic line-up of entertainment featuring the following performers:

5:30-6pm - JOE THOMPSON
6-7pm - THE GREG POVO BAND
7-8pm - KIM YARSON & THE VOLUNTEERS
8-8:30pm - KELLY CARVIN
8:30-9pm - TORCHY BLAINE WELCOME SPEECH
9-9:30 - JOHHNY LISCO DUO
9:30-10pm - CHRISTIAN BEACH DUO
10-10:30pm - CHUCK SCHAEFFER
10:30-11pm - MICHAEL PATRICK DUO
11pm - Close the night with an OPEN JAM of the participants

As you can see, there are several former as well as upcoming ROCK ON RADIO guests on this bill who are donating their time and effort to this worthy cause. I myself, along with AGENCY bassist MIKE THOMPSON will be playing as two of KIM YARSON's VOLUNTEERS at this show.

All proceeds and donations will go to the TURN THE CORNER LYME DISEASE FOUNDATION. They may be found at www.turnthecorner.org . Any other information can be located, either at Kathy Falcey's aforementioned website, or by going to www.torchystroubadours.org .

I truly hope to see as many of you there as possible....and as always....ROCK ON!
