Gala Music
The Gala will feature the music of Chicagoan Michael McDermott and our very own Ranger Jim, a stroke survivor ~ with song selections previously recorded just for our event!
“McDermott’s music helped me to find a part of myself that wasn’t lost, as I had feared, but only misplaced. That’s why we love the ones who are really good at it, I think: because they give us back ourselves, all dusted and shined up, and they do it with a smile…Michael McDermott is one of the best songwriters in the world and possibly the greatest undiscovered rock & roll talent of the last 20 years” -Stephen King
