This is a benefit concert for "The Paige Farley Hackel Memorial Playground" in Dorchester, Mass, and it is also dedicated to the memory of Michael Hill.

Although James Montgomery continues to record and tour with the ever-popular James Montgomery Blues Band, James has found another home with "The Friends". Formed in 2001 in the light of the 9/11 attacks and nominated in 2003 as "Best Blues Act Of The Year" by the Boston Music Awards (and featured at the annual Awards Ceremony at The Wang Center), their performance at The Amazing Arts Center marks their 10th Anniversary of giving back to those in need. Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, Joey Cramer & Tom Hamilton, Doug Flutie, Jon Butcher, Charlie Farren, Joey Molland (Badfinger), Danny Klein (J. Geils Band) and Johnny A are only a few who have been featured with the band... you just never know who's going to show up at a JM & Friends show! Don't miss this significant 10-year milestone honoring the memory of those lost with special surprise guests from the legendary Boston music scene!

When Blues Legend James Montgomery plays the harmonica, he "brings it on home". Whether it's recording with Kid Rock, sitting in with Gregg Allman, or fronting his hot band of thirty years, Montgomery plays with authority. While growing up in Detroit he learned first-hand from the masters - James Cotton, John Lee Hooker, and Jr. Wells - at the legendary "Chessmate" club. Over the years, he's carried on in the tradition and continues to be a vital presence in Blues as one of the most dynamic performers on the scene. Montgomery has toured with many major artists, including Aerosmith, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, the Allman Brothers, Steve Miller and others. He has shared the stage with B.B.King, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Jr. Wells, James Cotton, Charlie Daniels, Bonnie Raitt, Greg Allman, Laverne Baker, Patti LaBelle, Peter Wolf and many, many more.
