A little over a year ago, Chicago lost a member of its music community, Anthony Salazar. The back story sounds like an episode of Six Feet Under, man diagnosed with AVM decides to really live his life focusing on what matters the most. In this case, it was family and a great love of music.

A group of Tony’s friends are coming together Sunday, June 25th to celebrate his life and to help take care of the family he left behind. From 6 – 11 pm at the Darkroom, many of the artists who shared the stage with Tony in the past will be performing. Sets by Nice Peter, The Dynamos, Rich Experience, The Stoneflys, and Recent Photo are slated.

Copies of the posthumously released Original Twin will be available for sale. A suggested donation of $10 (and all proceeds) will be put into a fund for Tony’s son, Alexei and his widow, Kiri.
