On Sunday October 24th, we attended throughout the day a benefit for Fairfax native and stroke victim, Mike Melchione held at the
Vienna Moose Lodge, 9616. He is most known locally as a member of country\american
Lost Highway Band; but most may recognize him as a member of the Grammy winning
Buckwheat Zydeco Band. Most of the area's blues community turned out for this event to raise funds for Melchion's medical expenses. We're talking about musicians and fans, since we could barely get a parking spot when we arrived in the early afternoon.
We missed several awesome acts, from the
Tom Principato Band to
The Nighthawks to the
Tommy Lepson Band - among many others. However, we did catch
Bad Influence Band, the
Big Joe Maher Trio, and the
Cathy Ponton King - featuring Billy Starks,
Dave Chappell, and
Ron Holloway. Videos of the day's performances will be available at
MyJoogTV and are currently available at the
MyJoogTV YouTube channel. And photos are available at the
MyJoog Gallery. For those who wish to attend future benefits or to just contribute cash, visit
Jimmy Cole Music. We wish Melchione a speedy recovery..
