Ted Leo to Play NYC Benefit for Robbins Family

The support continues to roll in for Callum Robbins, son of J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines, Channels) and Janet Morgan (Channels). As previously reported, Cal is afflicted with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (Type 1).

Most recent to lend a hand is Ted Leo, who will perform solo alongside Medications and the Forms at a benefit show for the Robbins family at Brooklyn's Northsix on January 26. Tickets are available here.

Leo, along with his trusty Pharmacists will also appear at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall for the 15th annual Noise Pop festival on March 2, as previously reported. His forthcoming Touch and Go debut album, Living With the Living, is due out March 20.

As announced last week, another Robbins benefit gig boasting the likes of Chin Up Chin Up, Bobby Conn, the Life and Times, Red Eyed Legends, and a "surprise special guest," is slated for Chicago's Empty Bottle on January 27. (Tickets)

Fans looking to aid J., Janet, and Callum can also make a monetary gift on the DeSoto Records website.
