MusicRow’s thoughts are with musician Pete Huttlinger, publisher Billy Lynn, and their families.
Musician Pete Huttlinger is suffering from heart failure and his friends are organizing an all-star benefit to help with the cost of treatment.
Vince Gill, John Oates, The Long Players, John Jorgenson, Mark Selby, Joe Robinson, Baillie & the Boys, Sean Della Croce and others will perform Tues., July 26 at the Mercy Lounge at the event called For Pete’s Sake: You’ve Gotta Have Heart. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased via TicketWeb and at the door.
Huttlinger, husband of publicist Erin Morris Huttlinger, was born with a congenital heart defect and has been in extreme heart failure since March. As his condition worsened, he was life-flighted April 29 to St. Lukes Texas Heart Institute in Houston where he underwent surgery to have a heart pump installed. When Huttlinger recovers, he will return to Nashville and await a heart transplant which will take place at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. To make an online donation go to www.petehuttlinger.com.
Condolences go out to Billy Lynn, VP of Creative at Cal IV Entertainment, on the passing of his brother Charles Lynn, Jr. yesterday (7/12). He died from complications following heart bypass surgery. Funeral services are pending, but will take place in Paducah, KY.
Charles Lynn was 58, a resident of Wellington, Fl., and is survived by wife Patsy, and children Michael and Molly.
