Tribute To Mighty Sam McClain And Benefit for Homelessness – Be There!

Mighty Sam McClain was a fixture on the Boston (and national) music scene for many years, and it was a great loss when he died five months ago. A tribute to his life with performances by many who knew him well is being presented at the Regent Theatre in Arlington, Massachusetts on Saturday, November 28th. This is a wonderful way to give thanks over Thanksgiving weekend. The information you need to order tickets is contained in the press release by Callanan & Klein Communications. I took none of the photos and credited the photographer if I know who took the shot.
