Celebrate the life and music of Katie Reider with a memorial show and benefit at the Southgate House Saturday. Bands performing include Kelly Thomas & The Fabulous Pickups, Lauren Houston, Tupelo Honey, Ann Driscoll and more.
In July of 2007, Katie was diagnosed with a rare tumor that ate into her jaw and face, stole her voice, left her blind in one eye and ultimately killed her July 14, 2008 at the age of 30. Katie had two young children and her devoted life partner Karen, whom she had been with for 10 years.
All proceeds benefit Karen Reider. The show starts at 8:30 p.m. $7-$10.
