Singer and songwriter Phil Christie has gathered a group of entertainers for a benefit concert that will take place at Bob Stane’s Coffee Gallery Backstage June 1.  

Performers who will join Christie for the concert include Michael Valentine, Coffee Gallery Backstage favorites Severin Browne, Shelby & Tieg, T'Lark, and John Zipperer and his band. A few surprise guests will even show up for a song.  

Attendees can expect solo musical efforts, jams and collaborations.  

The benefit concert will take place June 1 at 3 p.m. and cost $20 per ticket. All sales will go to the Red Cross relief for the Oklahoma tornado.   Coffee Gallery owner Bob Stane noted in an email that no one will be reimbursed for any expenses, rent or inconvenience, so truly all sales will go to tornado relief.  

If this show fills quickly, a second show will be held at 1 p.m.  

Call (626) 798-6236 for reservations.
