Laura Wilken Benefit Concert
Presenting...an evening of rock, funk, and soul in support of Laura Wilken! Featuring '70s/'80s rock with Ginger and rocking' soul with Shur-cago.

As many of you know, Laura Wilken was in a severe car accident in June, sustaining multiple, serious injuries. Though she has made great strides towards recovery, it's a long road ahead, and the financial burden is large.

So, is this the time to rock? Absolutely! We're going to help out Laura by putting on an epic rock and roll benefit show! Please join us at Fitzgerald's Nightclub Sidebar in Berwyn on August 28th, where we will be presenting not one, but two awesome bands, Ginger and Shur-cago.

Ginger specializes in the best hard rock from the late-70's and early-80's. Led by the powerhouse vocals and non-stop energy of Cheryl Jennison-Daproza, Ginger races through a set of classics by Heart, Joan Jett, Blondie, Pat Benatar, and others! With face-melting, dual-guitars from Gino Sigismondi and Justin Boller, and thunderous rhythms from bassist Cris Tapia and drummer Matt Koschak, Ginger will have you rocking like it's 1979!

Turning the clock back a decade earlier, Shur-cago (made up entirely of Shure associates), presents rocking soul classics ranging from Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin to Chicago (get it? "Shur"-cago?). Though the band is not quite a cast of thousands, it is a large ensemble, including Chicago blues guitarist Dave Mendez, Sam Bicek of local rap cover band Too White Crew, Cheryl, Gino and Justin of Ginger, and a crack horn section led by Tom Forkenbrock of rock 'n' soul group Brass From the Past. It's no mean feat to assemble this crew in the same place at the same time and you don't want to miss it...

We are currently gathering items for a raffle/silent auction, and expect to have many cool items available to win. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to help Laura with medical bills and other expenses. Fitzgerald's will have a cash bar, and if you're hungry, food will be available to order from the adjoining Italian restaurant, Capri.
