“A Real Fine Day,” a concert celebration for Robbin Thompson, who passed away last October after a long battle with cancer, will be held Sunday afternoon, 2/28 at the National. The Robbin Thompson band will perform songs from Robbin’s career and will be joined by several  guests artists (unspecified as yet). Tickets should go on sale this week via the National’s box office.

Through this benefit, Robbin will keep giving back to the arts community. Per the concert producers, “Robbin’s family has requested that any profits generated by this concert be donated equally to JAMinc and SPARC.” Both organizations provide arts and music education experiences for area kids and Robbin was a huge supporter of both.

The donation potential is being enhanced by the National, which is donating the venue and its staff and “an incredible army of lighting, sound video and support personnel who volunteered to participate without hesitation.” Click thru the images below for more information about the event, Robbin and sponsorships.

Tickets will be on sale Friday 2/5 at 10:00 am  (click on the National link above), $25 – $45. bill@newsite.newsite.tvjerry.com to Bill Rice for sponsorship details.
