Jammin' For Jordyn

John, himself, put together a Benefit Show for Jordyn that the Corpus Christi Caller Times newspaper dubbed "Jammin' for Jordyn". It was such a fun show! John is good friends with some talented performers who were gracious enough to come and perform in honor of Jordyn. We raised enough money to start her on her new treatments. We are very greatful to have such great family and friends to share the moment with us, and/or donate. We appreciate everyone's help, prayers, and thoughts.

The performers included Steve Trevino (featured on Comedy Central's Mind of Mencia), Eddie Ojeda (Twisted Sister's lead guitarist), comedian/rapper Chingo Bling, and of course, John's band Sonido Azul (comprised of Grammy award-winners from The Chris Perez Band). The event was MC'd by C101's Rex Gabriel.

John will try to put together an Austin benefit show when everyone isn't on national tours. I'll keep you posted!
