They have all performed in “Who’s Your Daddy?” concerts, and several have called it one of their all-time favorite performing experiences. “Who’s Your Daddy?” is a concert featuring local musician “dads” performing with their talented offspring. There’s something about the legacy of music passed from one generation to the next, and the feeling of family that envelops the audience that sets this show apart.

June is National Myasthenia Gravis Awareness month. Myasthenia Gravis is a neuromuscular disease that causes extreme weakness of the voluntary muscles. MG can make seeing, walking, smiling or even breathing, very difficult. There is no known cause or cure, but there is hope through accurate diagnosis, treatment, and continued research.
