Just Throw Money, an upstate New York band for which Kevin "Stix" Corkery plays drums, will open for the Grammy-award winning Nitty Gritty Dirt Band during a Sept. 30 charity play date at the Oneonta Theater in Oneonta, N.Y..
The six-member band, which Stix joined last year, has been playing for seven years in various venues in the Catskill foothills region. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band -- with its unique country rock sound -- has been playing for nearly a half century and has scored a number of hits on the Top 40, including the instantly memorable "Mister Bo Jangles," which was penned and originally performed by Oneonta native Jerry Jeff Walker.
Proceeds from the engagement will be donated to the non-profit Folds of Honor, a charity in support of surviving families of fallen U.S. soldiers, airmen, sailors, marines and coast guardsmen.
Kevin is the husband of Sarah Fieg Corkery. They have seven children, two of whom, Collette and Grace Corkery, are studying violin.
Kevin is a professional financial advisor in addition to being a performing musician.
