Summer may be over, but the music is just beginning. We had two last incredible gigs at the Gristmill Bar at the Drawbridge in Port Clinton, OH. Beautiful weather and wonderful crowds.

The Trio is getting ready to live record 6 songs from the next album as soon as Tim returns from Italy.

Sunday, October 24th, is World Polio Day and, as a Rotarian, I wanted to find a way to donate some money to Rotary International’s main service project…wiping out polio in emerging nations for good. Yes, polio is still crippling and killing children around the world because people can’t afford the vaccine. Although each dose only costs $3, many people can’t afford it. That is where Rotary Clubs around the world are helping out. they asked each Rotary Club to raise money through some fundraiser on World Polio Day.

Here is my idea…hold a concert with donations going toward the Rotary project. This is a little easier for me than most because I own a concert venue called HALO in Sandusky, OH. Located in a renovated 108-year-old stone church at 805 Wayne St. in Sandusky, it has been quiet for almost 2 years due to COVID restrictions. This concert will hopefully rejuvenate the concert business while generating funds for polio.

The concert will be jointly sponsored by both Port Clinton and Sandusky Rotary Clubs and will be from 4-6:30pm on October 24th…World Polio Day. The Island Song Trio will be performing along with several other bands. The venue is incredible and the cause is righteous. Find a way to give if you can.
