Charles Hairston, who sang with the Monday Night All-Stars at the Double Door Inn for 13 years, died on Feb. 23 after a long battle with cancer.
A service and musical celebration will be held in his memory on March 8 at 4 p.m. at the Neighborhood Theatre.
Among those in attendance will be the Monday Night All-Stars and numerous musicians with whom Hairston performed over the years. Pastor Howard Brown will preside over the service.
Local singer Carey Sims, who will be taking over for Hairston at the Monday night gig and took care of him during his final weeks, has plans to set up a memorial fund in Hairston’s memory.
