Benefit Concert for Gus Thornton

Gus Thornton
A benefit for St. Louis Bass Player extraordinaire Gus Thorton will take place Monday, October 2nd at the Beale on Broadway 701 South Broadway from 9pm - 2am.

Gus' wife Charlene passed away last Friday morning. In an effort to help out a great friend and musician we are asking for your help through donations of time and money at this special event.

Gus Thorton has been part of the St. Louis music scene for over 30 years. He currently backs Kim Massie and the Solid Senders and has played and toured with the likes of Bo Diddley, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Johnnie Johnson. Quite simply the best at his craft...and one of the nicest people you could ever meet. The creme of St. Louis musicians will be offering their talents at this benefit. A highly recommended show.

We are asking for a donation of $10.00 at the door to help Gus and his family. Please come by Monday, October 2nd and show your love and support for this great guy who has given us so much great music over the years. Please forward this page to anyone who would be interested in attending!

That's Monday, October 2nd 9pm Beale on Broadway 701 South Broadway.
