The Machine Shop is hosting a benefit concert in honor of RJ and Courtney Ryan on Saturday, November 24th. Per RJ's request, 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Seth McKelvey. Seth,15, lost both of his legs due to a birth defect. The money raised will be used to purchase running blades for Seth. How awesome is that?

Dixie Hustler (featuring Rozz from Tripp 'N' Dixie on vocals), Red Stone Souls and Sour Jane will all be taking the stage.

RJ and Courtney Ryan were both seriously injured when Scott Taylor, 57, of Ortinville hit them on June 30th. Taylor fled the scene, but has since been charged. RJ Ryan lost part of his right leg while Courtney suffered serious fractures to her right leg. Throughout this nightmare RJ and Courtney have stayed strong. Their attitudes are truly amazing.

A $10 dollar donation gets you in at the door. Big props to RJ and Courtney for being so kind and generous. If you are planning on attending, I recommend getting there early - I am anticipating a packed house. See you there.
