Our good friend, and musical brother, Kerry Peterson, has recently been diagnosed with an in-operable form of cancer. Dealing with the types of decisions that are required in a situation like this is difficult enough. When you add to that the financial worries that accompany it, a tough situation gets even tougher.

So... please consider joining us at the Fairport Village Inn on Wednesday Evening, September 30th beginning at 6pm as we gather to Celebrate and Support Kerry and his wife, Emily. This promises to be a very special evening with lots of live music. There will be No Cover Charge but Donations will be happily accepted. In addition, the kind folks at the Fairport Village Inn have volunteered to donate a portion of the bar receipts that evening to the cause.

 

There will also be a few silent auctions and a 50/50 Raffle.

So.. come out - party and, most of all, help us support our dear friend.

Kerry has been a long-standing figure on the Upstate NY music scene. Those who have had the privilege to play with him know him as one of the most thoughtful, sensitive, and groove-oriented players out there. Big Ears - Big Heart - Big Groove! Over the years Kerry has played with Center Stage, Sweet Feelin', Sunup, The Mix, Yankee, Sean Patrick McGraw, The Spanky Haschmann Swing Orchestra, and the Ross Cirri Band to name just a few. In addition to spreading joy through his music, Kerry & Emily have been supplying sweet treats and smiles to kids of all ages at the Candy Nation in Fairport for many years.

Don't forget to mark your calendars and Please Spread the Word!

Wednesday, Sept. 30th. -- Fairport Village Inn -- 103 N. Main St., Fairport, NY -- 6pm - 11pm
