Jason & The Scorchers to play Exit in June



Press Release: Feb. 23, 2007

Jason and the Scorchers, Nashville's legendary rockers, will reform
for one concert only June 2, 2007 at the Exit In Nashville
Tennessee. This will be a benefit concert, with all profits
earmarked to help pay the medical expenses for Perry Baggs. Perry is
courageously fighting diabetes and kidney failure, and is on
dialysis 3 days a week. He is the original Scorcher's drummer,
harmony singer, and songwriter of some of the band's biggest songs.
His courage in the face of his illnesses is a great inspiration to
many in the Nashville music community, as well as other diabetes and
dialysis patients.

Health permitting, Perry does plan to play drums on some songs at the
show, and sing harmony. Warner E. Hodges will be on guitar, Jason
Ringenberg on vocals, Fenner Castner on drums filling in for Perry
as needed, and Kenny Ames on bass. Old Scorchers Ken Fox and Andy
York may make an appearance if their schedules permit.

The show will start promptly at 8.30. The band will do 2 sets.

Tickets are not for sale yet but will be soon. Keep checking the
Exit In website for info. Their will be no guest list, since all
money will go to help pay Perry's medical expenses. Tickets will be
20.00 in advance and 25.00 at the door.
