Chip Robinson, founder and frontman of Raleigh’s beloved Backsliders was seriously injured recently in a bicycle accident. He lacks health insurance and is unable to work while he recovers.

Several renowned local bands as well as Alejandro Escovedo (backed by Robert Kearns of Lynyrd Skynyrd) are rallying around Robinson, and will play a benefit show Sunday (11/21) at the brand new Southland Ballroom , a 300 capacity state-of-the-art performance venue in the Glenwood South district of Raleigh.

All of the featured acts have shared stages with Chip (and with one another) over the years, and all feel a great fondness for him and a deep admiration for his one-of-a-kind songwriting and showmanship. Expect a musical love-fest and a memorable night to benefit one of the shining stars of the Triangle music scene.

The event begins at 4pm and admission is $20.
