Downtown artists and musicians are heading to the Bowery Ballroom for a Sunday benefit for Simon Scott, a popular local artist and rocker who is trying to beat cancer.
Hosted by comedian Dave Hill, the benefit will feature more than a dozen New York bands including a rare reunion of The Bogmen, comedian Todd Barry and an auction featuring an original custom print by DC Comics’ Batman illustrator Ian Bertram.
Scott, an accomplished local painter and guitarist who has also recorded with Oasis and the North Mississippi All-Stars, is a familiar face in downtown bars and taverns, where he has been commissioned to paint dozens of beer- and liquor-company logos and murals over the years.
Tickets are on sale at the Bowery Ballroom Web site, and donations can be made to Scott’s fund at the Sweet Relief Musician’s Fund: http://ift.tt/1iyZ78p.
