San Diego music legend and former Penetrators front man Gary Heffern has met with misadventure, and he needs our financial help to set things straight.
Heffern, now living in Finland, in May suffered a burst appendix that forced him to cancel a July Penetrators reunion in San Diego and postponed his work on a new CD, not to mention his day job. With bills coming due, Gary is reaching out to his network for support.
Here are a couple of opportunities to help this San Diego legend in his hour of need:
Donate early and often to the IndieGoGo.com fundraising campaign: “This new record we’re doing is gonna’ be awesome and is half recorded right now,” Gary told Che Underground: The Blog. “We’ll give autographed copies to anyone who helps with a $50 donation and signed prints of the artwork which is done by a fantastic Norwegian artist named Elise Jarem.”
The Penetrators: Walking the Beat
Head to Fitzgerald’s Pub in Huntington Beach, Calif., July 21 for a “Benefit for Gary Heffern”: This event will feature Peter Case, Cindy Lee Berryhill and Manual Scan.
