Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels to Headline at Benefit Concert "For the Grace" in Michigan
Rock and roll legend Mitch Ryder has agreed to headline a benefit concert for the Grace Care Center on January 12, 2007, in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Ryder, whose hit songs include "Devil With a Blue Dress On" and "Sock It To Me Baby," has come to know about the Grace Care Center through our very own Jim Mitchell who recently completed a biography of Ryder expected to be published in 2007.
The concert will be held at the Morris J. Lawrence Building (Towsley Auditorium) on the campus of Washtenaw Community College, 4800 E. Huron River Dr., Ann Arbor.
Blues Infusion, a local band from Ann Arbor, will open the show for Mitch Ryder and a special video greeting from the Grace Care Center will be played between acts.
Premium ticket holders will be invited to attend a special pre-concert reception with Mitch Ryder at the offices of Huron Gastroenterology Associates.
All proceeds from the show will be used to help maintain and support the Grace Care Center in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka.
VeAhavta has set up a special concert page for the event from which donors can order tickets and even special commemorative t-shirts on-line. Check it out here and spread the word!
Our very special thanks to Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels, Blues Infusion, Huron Gastroenterology Associates, Ernie Roide and Promotion Plus of San Luis Obispo, and volunteers Jim Mitchell, Deb Taylor, Naresh Gunaratnam, Cheryl Huckins, Erin Whaley, Gina Amalfitano and Colin Loomis for all of their help with this event!
