jay-concert1It’s been more than a month since Newport Beach local Jay Thomas suffered a spinal cord injury while surfing.  Now after two successful surgeries, Jay has been transferred to Long Beach Memorial Hospital where he’s receiving physical therapy five days a week.

Jay’s injury was determined to be an incomplete spinal cord injury, leaving doctors very optimistic of a full recovery.  To help with Jay’s medical costs a benefit concert is happening at the House of Blues in Anaheim on Monday May 18, with Social Distortion, The Vandals, The Black Tibetans and The Japanese Motors.

Tickets are $40 and go on sale this Saturday April 18, at 10 a.m.  The show is open to all ages with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m and the first band taking the stage at 7:30 p.m.  Please come out for a night of great music in support of Jay.  You can send Jay a message at http://superjay76@hotmail.com/
