Benefit for Brian Dux

Former Canisius College student and Golden Griffins’ basketball star Brian Dux suffered a terrible car crash in Britain in November, and has been hospitalized with critical brain injuries ever since. Brian was playing sports professionally at the time of the accident, after delivering an MVP performance leading the Guilford Heat to win the British Basketball League Cup final last January. Brian’s parents—honorary members of the Buffalo music community—have struggled to support him through this ordeal, as expenses mount for the care of their 26-year old son. Friends and fellow musicians Five to One are turning this Friday’s (Dec. 21) gig at the Sportsmen’s Tavern into a benefit show for Brian. Admission is free, donations welcomed. Music starts at 5:30pm and will be followed by the Stone Country Band, featuring Paul Zittle & Carl Eddy, at 9:30pm
