Butch Baldassri Benefit
Barking Legs Theater
Saturday, August 2 at 8 p.m.
$20 advance/door
We've had the priviledge of bringing master mandolinist Butch Baldassari to Barking Legs in a variety of contexts through the years. Over the past few months his extraordinary career has been brought to a standstill as he has been fighting a brain tumor. Please join us in both supporting and celebrating this superb musician and his family. The list of guests is just beginning to come together - already including Barbara Lamb, the Dismembered Tennesseans and Lou Wamp - but you can be sure that some great players will bring some strong musical power to bear during the course of this very special evening.
For more information, visit www.barking legs.org or call (423) 624-LEGS.
