In October, beloved local blues guitarist Sarah Barlow’s dog Lucky was attacked by two pit bulls. Caught in the crossfire to save her pet, Barlow’s left index finger was severed, and faced necrosis following emergency surgery. An upcoming party at Antone’s – whose late founder Clifford Antone acted as Barlow’s manager – raises money to cover the musician’s medical bills, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy she hopes will prevent amputation. The event promises performances from Kathy Murray & the Kilowatts, Bear Ryan, Elijah Zane, and Matthew Brodnax. Not yet ready to return to guitar, Barlow will provide vocals.
