A benefit rock show has been arranged to help offset medical costs for the daughter of local drummer and teacher, Kyle Batty. The Batty Family Benefit concert is scheduled for Oct. 11 from noon to 9 p.m. at O’Sullivan’s Pub in Santa Maria. The show will include a barbecue and raffle as well as a solid lineup of local rock groups including Bearcat, Beach Technique, The Dogons, The Ragged Jubilee, and King Walrus & The Magicians.
“It’s neat because a lot of the people in the bands were one of Kyle’s students,” said The Dogons’ drummer Ben Cabreana. “All the money made at the door and from the raffle will go to the Batty family, so it’s am attempt to soften the blow with their medical expenses a little bit.”
O’Sullivan’s Pub is located at 633 E. Main St., Santa Maria. More information is available at 925-0658 or gofundme.com/fundlorelie.
