A Show for Healing at The Sherman

The Sherman Theatre* (www.shermantheatre.com) in Stroudsburg, PA presented Artimus Pyle and The Street Survivors who paid tribute to The Lynyrd Skynyrd Band for whom Artimus Pyle played drums for on Friday January 4th. The performance of Artimus Pyle and The Street Survivors was preceded by two local bands (Bootleg and Dealer in wares) which complimented the evening. Proceeds of the event were placed into a trust fund to benefit two year old Sean Vanluvender whose father (Lee Vanluvender of Bartonsville, PA) was found dead after being shot several times while hunting close to the state game lands near Chestnuthill and Tunkhannock townships in PA. The audience consisted of friends and members of the Vanluvender family who paid their respects and shared the grief of their loss. However, the life affirming music brought a great deal of comfort to those who attended. Richard Berkowitz*, Cheryl Yost*, and Bill Kelly* (all of the Sherman) were there along with Arline M. Smeltz*. The next show at The Sherman Theatre* will a concert which is a continuing part of their Independent Rock Series featuring Methodical along with Crushpile, The Vivid Twisted, For Valor or Vengeance, Bound By Blood and More on Friday January 11th.
