Per Dr. John's will, his family has organized a pub-crawl event this Saturday that will be capped by a series of musical performances at The Meteor venue of some of the local musicians Dr. John championed, cheered, helped and supported through the years.

Dr John's generosity touched many. To learn more about his extraordinary spirit, read the Windsor Star obit published following his passing on April 10, 2023.



The musicians coming to pay tribute are a who's-who of local songwriters in this region, all of them with plenty of stories to tell about Dr. John.

Music at Meteor begins at 7.30pm with Andrew MacLeod starting the evening.

Event times and the scheduled line up are subject to last minute changes as this event has come together quickly.
