Benefit show for Joe Borruso planned

Posted By on Thu, Jul 2, 2015 at 12:03 PM

Local artist Joe Borruso was struck by a drunk driver while walking down Parkwood Avenue on June 28. He is currently in intensive care having sustained serious injuries including a partial leg amputation. He's also had spinal surgery and a lengthy recovery time is expected.

The Charlotte community is banding together to raise funds to help with his growing medical expenses. In addition to a YouCaring page that has raised more than $12,000, a benefit concert is planned for July 12 at the Neighborhood Theatre. The lineup includes an acoustic set by Adam Lazzara and John Nolan of Taking Back Sunday along with performances by Paint Fumes, Animals, Mthr, Modern Primitives, Aswell, Shadowgraphs, Fat Geoff, Bo White y Su Orquesta, Cabron and DJs Elon & Buckmaster. Tickets are $20-$30.
