Our seventh event was a collaboration between The Ticked Off Music Fest and Lyme Warrior to present… Ticked Off Richmond! An estimated $6,000 was raised and all of the proceeds went to Lyme disease research and patient funding that was handled jointly and directly by both Lyme Warrior and the Ticked Off Foundation, Inc. Both organizations are 501(c)3 nonprofit groups dedicated to bringing awareness and support to those who suffer from Lyme and tick-borne diseases.
Even though the event is over, you can donate funds to help Richmond-area Lyme patients who are in crisis by clicking on the “donate” button below. Contributions to this fund are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
The live event took place on Friday, February 2, 2018 at the Canal Club located at 1545 East Cary St., Richmond, VA.
Featured music acts were Brickwall Jackson, an Americana band led by songwriter/guitarist Johnny Hudak, that is bringing Americana rock to new levels. When lead vocalist Suzie “MoJo” Johnson, bassist Chuck Harrell, drummer Rod “Sticks” Hicks and keyboardist Sam Nixon team with band founder and guitarist singer/songwriter Johnny Hudak’s brisk, insistent acoustic and rock-tinged electric numbers, the result is a powerful and innovative blend of uniquely American music.
Also appearing was Gregg Kirk, lead vocalist of The Zen Engines and founder of the Ticked Off Foundation, Inc., a Lyme patient group dedicated to helping those in crisis. Kirk has played and spoken on behalf of Lyme patients since recovering from the disease himself, and he has appeared at events in Hawaii, Florida, California, Maryland, Maine, and Delaware.
Lyme Warrior is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization fighting to bring awareness and support to the sufferers of the silent, debilitating epidemic of Lyme Disease. Proceeds fund Lyme Disease research, awareness campaigns, and impoverished Lyme Warriors.
