Memorial concerts planned for Daniel Bliss and Rita Corbin

BRATTLEBORO — Two memorial concerts are planned to assist Brattleboro musician Coretta Corbin Bliss, who lost her 17-year-old son, Daniel Bliss, and her mother, artist Rita Corbin, in a Nov. 6 car accident in Massachusetts.

To help Bliss and her family deal with funeral and other costs - and to celebrate the lives of Daniel and Rita - musicians have donated their time for a fundraising concert at the River Garden on Main Street in Brattleboro from 4 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 4.

Scheduled to appear at the River Garden are Bourbon Shuffle, Jug Tonk Stompers, Electric Fence, Screaming Coyotes, and Jatoba.

The Keene concert takes place at Heberton Hall, next to the Keene Public Library, at 6 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 9.

Scheduled to appear there are Dave Evans, The Cold River Ranters, Rise!, and Long Leash.

The suggested donation at both shows is $10 or more, with all proceeds going to the family.
