The benefit concert aims to raise money for Chris Doherty, front-man of GangGreen, who recently suffered a stroke. The concert is organized by music biz veterans Al Peters and Sean McNally (Cringe Productions), both long-time friends of Doherty and the Boston rock scene. A "go fund me" campaign has been set up for on-line donations:

"A few weeks ago I called Sean McNally with a tall order to produce this benefit concert," shares Al Peters. "I am so pleased that so many from the Boston music scene have come together to support Chris. Chris and GangGreen were among the very first hardcore bands in Boston. They went on to record six studio albums, tour the world, and influence many. Sean and I extend special thanks to The Paradise, Crossroads, all the bands and people who have come to Chris' aid. It's a real team effort."

"When Alec reached out to me about helping Chris, I couldn't say 'yes' fast enough," shares Sean McNally. "Chris and GangGreen have held the torch for many years, supporting so many other bands on the way up. They are truly legends in this crazy music scene. The variety and stature of the acts who've volunteered their talents are a testament to the way the Boston music community rallies together. We also thank folks who have donated raffle prizes. We hope to raise a lot of money to help get Chris back on his feet, so he'll be on stage where he belongs the next time another friend is in need."

"You know who your friends are when you're in the hospital," shares Doherty, who's recovering. "I've got a s%*#load of friends. Thank you."
