Save the Whale!

Hello Friends, Families, Students, and Fans,
For those of you who do not know, our bass player Bob "The Whale" Whitlinger came home after a show two weeks ago to an apartment complex burnt to the ground. Every possession Bob had was gone. Everything from the baby pictures of his kids to his toothbrush and last pair of socks.
Eight apartments and three stores were gutted. Amazingly, no one was hurt but everyones lives were ruined in one hour.
We have been working hard for the last two weeks to set up a benefit for Bob which will take place this Sunday at Baybridge in Salem. Baybridge is located on Bridge street next to the Salem/Beverly bridge.
The event will take place from 4:30 to 9:30.
Tickets at the door will be $15.
This will include a buffet and entertainment for the entire event.
We worked hard to set up a great evening of music. We have seven of Boston's greatest acts covering all genres performing.
Here is the lineup for the evening;
4:30-5 Mike Tebo Band
5:05-:5:35 Blues Your Daddy
5:45-6:15 The Child Prodigy's Michael and Melissa
6:25-7 Lisa Love Experience
7-7:30 Ryan Dupont Band
7:40-8:10 Mike Troy and Jeff Fraser Duo
8:20-9:15 Velvet Elvis (an unbelievable tribute to Elvis and other artists from that time)
This will be a great opportunity to help someone out for the same price you would pay for dinner anyway.
This is also a rare chance to bring the whole family (kids included) and enjoy some music you could only see at late night clubs usually.
We are really hoping for a great turnout so we can help Bob get back on his feet again. It really is amazing what a small effort can do if a lot of people join in and help.
We hope to see you there.
Thanks
Bob's Friends
