Fundraiser For Rhett Tyler: Middletown New York August 21st

Sonny Rock from New York has sent me some information about a fundraiser for Rhett Tyler.  If you are in the Middletown area on August 21st be sure to step in and help out a fellow bluesman in need.  Message from Sony below.



A message to all musicians and fans of guitar man Rhett Tyler. Rhett has been in the hospital for the last several weeks, we almost lost him. He is home and resting as of today (7/12). He needs our help. Sunday August 21St at Brians Backyard BBQ in Middletown, N.Y. will be a benefit for Rhett. $15 a head, 4-8PM. Please find Roxy Perry on FB if you are interested in helping in any way. I've played & recorded with Rhett. He has helped me when I was down from surgery. Please support a great talent. Thank You!
