JACK RUSSELL To Play Acoustic Benefit Show For Station Fire Memorial Foundation

January 16, 2013

February 20, 2013 marks the tenth anniversary of the tragic fire at The Station in West Warwick, Rhode Island. Jack Russell of the band GREAT WHITE, whose pyrotechnics ignited the deadly blaze, will take part in an acoustic performance on February 7, 2013 at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach, California, with proceeds set to be donated to the Station Fire Memorial Foundation. Jack will be accompanied by his guitarist Robby Lochner, and will be performing several GREAT WHITE hits as well as some other surprises.

"My heart aches for all the families and friends of the victims whose lives will forever be changed by this terrible tragedy," says Jack. "I too lost many friends that night but I can't begin to equate that to the loss of a family member. For what it's worth, you have been in my prayers and always will be."

The Rhode Island incident became the fourth deadliest fire in U.S. history, killing 100 — including GREAT WHITE guitarist Ty Longley — and injuring hundreds more.
