LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Soper Reese Theatre in Lakeport is pleased to present "An Evening With The Swinging Chads & Special Guests: A Benefit for Tricia Danieli" on Saturday, Aug. 12, from 7 to 10 p.m.

Following a gig with The Swinging Chads at The Blue Wing Saloon in February, Danieli's car hydroplaned off the road in the rain.

After many months of rehabilitation, she has recovered but has been left with outstanding medical costs.

The Swinging Chads & Special Guests will be playing dancing music featuring Americana/country, blues, soul and rock & roll standards.

Performers include Randall Mcgowan on bass, keys and vocals; Norman Collins on guitar and vocals; George Husarek on flute; Kevin Gallagher on steel pedal; James Williams on B3 organ; John Sheridan on drums; and special guest Mark Weston on guitar.

Contemporary originals will be performed by Danieli on piano and vocals.

The Swinging Chads are now completing their second CD of home grown songs. They have been gathering a fan base of faithful followers during their travels throughout Northern California and Nevada.

This benefit is being produced by volunteers from The Soper Reese Theatre and Spotlight On Productions and sponsored by the Blue Wing Restaurant & Tallman Hotel in Upper Lake.

Tickets cost $15. There will be open seating and the dance floor will be open.

Tickets can be purchased in advance, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at The Travel Center, 1265 S. Main St., Lakeport or online at www.soperreesetheatre.com. The Soper Reese Theatre box office will open two hours before the concert.
