Singer-songwriter Neil Harnett's CD release show this Saturday is about more than the music of his new album, Somewhere.
Since he started writing and recording the tracks his family was struck with a tragedy – his adult daughter Amy was the victim of a workplace accident that left her with a severe brain injury.
That's why partial proceeds from the concert will be going to Semiahmoo House Society, which among other services, provides support for those with brain injuries and the families who care for them.
But there is an inspiring message to Harnett's music. Many of the songs he wrote before the accident refer to never giving up hope and looking for the positive in all experience.
A drawing of a butterfly by Amy is not only featured on the CD, in dedication to her journey, but is also on a T-shirt which will be sold from a new website www.journeyback.com, in which people can share their experiences, strength and hope in dealing with such challenges as brain injury.
Joining Harnett at the concert will be Rick Clark (drums), Bill Fulton (bass), Darryl Havers (keys). Longtime friend Dennis Pook and duo partner Joni Anderson will open the concert, and will also join Harnett onstage with background vocals.
The concert takes place Nov. 7, 8 p.m. at the Rhumba Room of the Pacific Inn (1160 King George Hwy.) Tickets ($20) are available from The Pelican Rouge, The Pacific Inn, Tapestry Music and North Bluff Music.
