HUDSON - Local artists will band together for Music Fest on Sept. 28 to raise money for The Angelus, a home for severely handicapped individuals.

The inaugural event from 2 to 6 p.m. also is a memorial for Victoria K's grandfather, Doug Thomas. Thomas, who died recently, guided her music career since she was about 4 and helped her become a Nashville recording artist.

Victoria K will headline the benefit show at the Angelus Pavilion, 12413 Hudson Ave., along with N-Kahootz, Wiley Fox, Jenny Rimmer, Katie Donahue and more.

"Our family would like to thank all of our friends and business associates who have been so caring in the time of our loss," Victoria K said in an e-mail. "My grandfather, Doug Thomas, was an amazing man, and his passing has left a large hole not only in our family but in many others, including The Angelus.

"He requested no services, as he never wanted any focus on him. He dedicated his time to my career, the Cancer societies and The Angelus. My grandfather loved The Angelus and what the organization accomplishes and stands for at all times."

The nonprofit agency aids people with cerebral palsy and those who are not able to care for themselves, benefit organizers explained.

All donations and proceeds go directly to The Angelus. Benefit organizers are asking for a $10 donation per carload for parking. Spectators also are welcome to donate more.
