Benefit Concert for Jan Johansson November 7, 2010

Suggested donation of $15 for adults; children under 12 free.
With a wealth of courage, brain power and musical talent, the one thing local music teacher and musician Jan (pronounced "Yahn") Johansson could ask from the Wizard of Oz is a new heart. After recovering from having a heart pump implanted this past spring, he was added back onto the heart transplant waiting list in July, and his friends are once again rallying to hold a fundraiser to help he and his wife, Theresa, defray his medical expenses.

On the lineup for the afternoon are: Fescue 911; Samantha Casey & the Bluegrass Jam; Nixon, Blevins & Gage; The Hotwires; Apple Chill Cloggers with the Tims Family Band; and a grand finale with Jan Johansson and Friends, including Carolina Junction; Julie Elkins; Lindsey Tims; Ray East, and Dr. Tate.

All proceeds from the benefit concert on November 7 will go to help the Johanssons defray medical expenses and lost income. All performers and event organizers are donating their time and talents in an effort to raise money and show their support and appreciation for all that Jan and Theresa have done for them and the music community. All donations will go directly to the National Foundation for Transplants to help Jan and Theresa.
