Chris Whitley tribute concert

060303-whitley.jpgLast November, Houston lost a great singer/songwriter and guitarist when Chris Whitley lost his battle to lung cancer. Throughout his battle, Chris racked up some massive medical bills and also left behind a daughter, Trixie. Local and national musicians are gathering together to play benefit shows in his honor to help raise money for medical bills and to build a trust fund for Trixie.

The Houston show is this Sunday night at Warehouse Live. Performers include: Shawn Colvin, Charlie Sexton, Vernon Reid (from Living Colour), DJ Logic, Doug Pinnick (from King’s X), John Egan, Arthur Yoria, and others. Autographed items will be raffled at the show, too.

Come and celebrate Chris Whitley’s music with his friends and help his family at the same time.

Chris Whitley Tribute
Sunday, March 5, 7:30 p.m @ Warehouse Live (map)
