“SNAKE AND DEADWOOD” TO HEADLINE CHAMBER FETE
Auntie Skinners’ Hosting “Hot Summer Nights” Benefit
JEFFERSON, Texas - Rockin’ blues and a chance to get away from it all will be the storyline on Friday, August 14 when Auntie Skinners’ Riverboat Club hosts a “Hot Summer Night Benefit” with proceeds heading toward the Marion County Chamber of Commerce coffers.
“Blackwater” will be the headline musical attraction with appearances by Snake and Deadwood Blooze. The rock and blues outfit features John “Driftwood” Nance on rhythm guitar and Jay “Pulpwood” Patrick on keyboards. “Deadwood” - aka local attorney Bill Smith - and “Snake” Blooze, also known as local thespian Andy Looney, lead the seven-piece outfit that also includes Weyland Graham on lead guitar, Matt “Basswood” Early on bass guitar and Biff “Hardwood” Rains on drums.
Blackwater will take the stage at 9 p.m. and perform until closing.
Attendees also get a chance to win a $750 airline travel voucher, compliments of Auntie Skinners‘ owner Gary Fant.
“This is great, and it’s going to be a lot of fun for the folks that come in that night,” said Marion County Chamber of Commerce president Charlie Chitwood. “Our hat is off to the Fants for being so generous as to come up with this idea and host a fundraiser for the Chamber. Thanks too go out to Bill Smith and “Blackwater” for volunteering their time and talent to put on a show - those guys are real entertainers.”
Admission to the benefit is $10 - tickets can be purchased at the door or ahead of time at either auntie Skinners’ Riverboat Club (107 W. Austin Street) or at the Marion County Chamber of Commerce office at 101 N. Polk Street.
