Primitive Culture

An all-star lineup of performers comes together for a benefit for the family of longtime Madison area sax player and vocalist Bob Corbit, who died Sept. 24. Scheduled to play are the Bill Roberts Combo, Paul Filipowicz Band, Easy Action, and Primitive Culture (of which Corbit was a member), with guest appearances by James Eisele, Tony Kannen, Ken Koeppler, Pete Olig, Sista Sensi, and likely some surprises. James Tate will lead a blues jam to close the evening. It’s possible the start time will move up as more performers are added, so watch for updates at redroostermadison.com; if you can’t make the show, the family also has a GoFundMe page.

media release: Update 9/25: Bob Corbit died on September 24, age 77. This benefit will be to raise money to use as the family sees fit, including end-of-life care costs and funeral costs.

Join the Madison music community as it comes together in support of veteran musician Bob Corbit and his family. This listing will be updated as performers make their commitments to show their support.

Suggested minimum donation $5.
