Patio Records

At the heart of Patio Records is the sponsorship of concerts and recordings to help create garden patios at hospitals for individuals battling through the afflictions of cancer. Events and contributions to date helped bring to fruition the Mary Eagan Garden at Children's Hospital Boston at Waltham that adjoins the Beth Israel Deaconess Cancer Care Center, the Mary Eagan Garden within the 4.5 acre Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors Park in Ottawa, Ontario. Click, and phase one of the garden in the Minto Courtyard at the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre at the Queensway-Carleton Hospital in Ottawa's west end.

Next up, SUNDAY, April 28, 2013, 17th Annual Greater Waltham Healing Garden Concert. This Year's guaranteed-to-put-a-smile-on-your-face (and in your ears and hearts) lineup:

From Glastonbury, Connecticut, Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters, will bring their right on lead and harmonizing singing of traditional, bluegrass, and country treasures; with superb acoustic instrumental accompaniment.
Kingston, Ontario's Kelli Trottier has said "Yes" to the last year's crowd's request to perform once again this spring. (For newcomers to Kelli, wait until you hear her champion fiddling, her wonderfully-warm singing renditions, and, to boot, a bit of stepdancing)! Taking the night home will be the fabulous "Special Guesters", a group of superb sidemen assembled for Healing Garden Concerts! Get a preview of what will be a sure-fire pleaser of a CD next spring from these artists personally invited by Terry, including Chuck Parrish and Jim Spellman on Electric guitars, Matt Leavenworth on fiddle, Edmond Boudreau on mandolin, and their own 'special guesters' for their set.

100% of the ticket proceeds will be donated to the Mount Auburn Hospital, 330 Mount Auburn St, Cambridge, MA, towards a future Healing Garden for patients and families.
