July 15th, Music is the Medicine, Beachcomber, Seaside, NJ

[Ben Franklin]

Dear Friends,

We're performing at a really special and fun event next week on the Jersey shore, called Music is the Medicine, a benefit to help cancer victims. It's at the Beachcomber on the Seaside boardwalk, organized by the brothers Effenberger from The Amboys, along with other folks who ought to be credited, and I'm looking forward to meeting them. A ton of great bands, fun, sand, beach, beers, a good cause, I really hope we'll see you there. Some more info from the organizers is below, and you can join in on the anticipation over on Facebook. I really hope one of the bands will play that seminal shore classic, "Seaside Tony."

I need to book us some hotel rooms or we'll never make it out of there alive. Stay cool, friends!

xoxo

Billy
