Benefit Concert for the Horses

Guitars & Voices

Featuring Harry Chalmiers and His Only Friends Abby Aronson & Norm Zocher

Time: Saturday October 1, 7:30 PM (doors open 7:00)
Place: Old Town Hall, Stow, MA
Admission: $15 for adults and $8 for children and seniors

Three guitarists combine their talents to raise money for Eye of the Storm Equine Rescue. Abby Aronson, Harry Chalmiers, and Norm Zocher will perform a mixture of musical styles – jazz, blues, folk, and rock – on a variety of guitars – acoustic, electric, bass, and nylon string. All hail from the faculty of the Berklee College of Music. The group will crank out well-known and original high-energy tunes on Saturday night, October 1, at the historic Stow Town Hall.

Abby Aronson's origins are in classical guitar. She studied with virtuoso David Leisner at the New England Conservatory of Music (NEC), where she won the Chadwick Medal for top performer and musician. For her master's degree at NEC, she changed her focus to jazz guitar, studying with such greats as Mick Goodrick, George Garzone, Bob Moses, and Cecil McBee. She has since enjoyed a multifaceted career as a classical and jazz guitarist, bassist (in the funk band Urbana), and singer/songwriter. Abby joined the Berklee faculty in 1995.

Harry Chalmiers is a versatile performer and songwriter in many genres. A native of Louisiana, he began playing rock and blues guitar at age 10, metamorphosing into an accomplished classical guitarist with a master’s degree in composition from New England Conservatory. Harry has performed on stages across the country and in Europe, and headed up the popular band The Born Bluesers that included former J.Geils bassist, Danny Klein.

In addition to composing for television and films, Norm Zocher has performed in venues ranging from The Blue Note in New York to the Blue Room in Banff, Alberta to The House of Blues in Cambridge. Norm teaches at Berklee and the New England Conservatory of Music.

They perform Saturday night at 7:30, October 1, at the Stow Town Hall, located at the intersection of Routes 117 and 62. Doors open at 7:00 for the 7:30 show. Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for children and seniors. All proceeds to benefit the horses and ponies at Eye of the Storm.



We Need Money!

Please keep in mind that we desperately need your help to keep this much needed sanctuary and rescue running. It costs approximately $35,000/year to run Eye of the Storm. All donations are completely tax deductible as we are a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization. Thank you so much for your continued support.

Please see the credit card link on the right to donate via PayPal, or visit our Help page for other ways to donate. Thank you!

(It also helps a little bit every time you click to visit the sponsors on our web site.)


I'm always happy to talk to people who call Eye of the Storm for advice about horse care. But it's become a bit of a problem if people leave messages and I have to call back long-distance. We really have to focus our limited funds on horse supplies, not phone calls.

I still want to talk to you, but please, call back if you don't reach me. Or, if you're willing to make a donation, I can call you back long-distance. Thanks for understanding!

Hugs and kisses, Nina
