Barrymore Theatre 2090 Atwood Ave., Madison, Wisconsin 53704
Joey Gomoll passed away in 2010 at age 5 from a rare form of epilepsy. Music bonded young Joey and his father, Mike, which is why Mike created a series of benefit concerts and compilation CDs in his son’s honor that have raised more than $250,000 since 2011 for epilepsy research and program services for children with special needs. The bill for this year’s Joey’s Song benefit features national, regional and local artists, including the Know-It-All Boyfriends (with Garbage drummer Butch Vig and guitarist Duke Erikson), Milwaukee’s Trapper Schoepp, Appleton’s Cory Chisel, Kyle Henderson from The Producers, Chris Collingwood from Fountains of Wayne, and Madion’s legendary Star Search band, Chaser. Miguel Cervantes, who plays the title character in the Chicago production of Hamilton, will perform, too. Earlier this year, he lost a 3-year-old daughter, Adelaide Grace, to a severe form of childhood epilepsy.
