12th Annual Coreyfest raises money for Corey C. Griffin Foundation
Let's start with a really cool musical event with local significance, as the 12th Annual Coreyfest comes to The House of Blues in Boston on Saturday, Nov. 14, with the headline attraction Brothers Osborne. Coreyfest is the main fundraising event for the Corey C. Griffin Foundation, which supports a variety of efforts to help mentor and provide aid to children in need. The foundation was formed in memory of Scituate rink rat Corey Griffin, who went on to play college hockey for both Boston College and Babson. After his graduation, Griffin became a major force in raising money for ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), growing out of his friendship with BC's Pete Frates, and was a big force in establishing things like "the ice bucket challenge." Griffin died in 2014, at just 27, after a diving accident on Nantucket, where he had just produced an ALS-fundraising event. His friends and family began the foundation shortly afterwards to keep his memory and charitable efforts alive. This year's show is especially interesting because Brothers Osborne is one of the hottest acts in country music, with their songs including plenty of rockin' fire, but also superb vocals and harmonies, and superb contemporary songwriting.
