"Blues on the Beach" -- with the James Montgomery Band, Triple Threat and special guest performers -- is scheduled for Sunday, June 9, from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Atlantic Beach Club, 53 Purgatory Road in Middletown.
Proceed from the concert will benefit Heather Abbott of Newport, one of the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings in April. Abbott, 38, had been waiting for friends near the finish line when one of the bombs exploded. Doctors were forced to amputate her left leg below the knee. She also suffered hearing damage.
"Blues on the Beach" will include a buffet and cash bar. Admittance costs $20, and additional donations are welcome.
