The Otis Read show for Saturday has been cancelled, though there may still be advertisements and notices around. Sorry for any inconvenience. Here's a note in Philippe and Jorge's column in the latest Providence Phoenix about his health issues:
"We learned last week that Otis Reed, a stalwart on the Rhode Island’s music scene for more than 25 years (currently working in a primarily traditional folk and Celtic mode with the multi-instrumentalist Phil Edmunds), and also a longtime peace activist, suffered a stroke.
"Like many artists, Otis is not exactly strapped with health insurance coverage. Phil says there will almost certainly be a need to stage fundraising concerts and events to defray the huge bills. Our thoughts are with Otis for a full and swift recovery. He has performed gratis to raise funds for worthy causes hundreds and hundreds of times. Now he needs our help. So keep your eyes and ears open for coming events to give Otis a hand, and we’ll see you there."
