Grumpy’s Northeast, 2200 4th St. NE, will host the third annual Honky Tonk Fest, Saturday, June 29, 2-9 p.m. The event is a benefit for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Minnesota, and will feature music by Trailer Trash, Jillian Rae, The Cactus Blossoms, Leo Rondeau (from Austin, TX), Dreadlock Cowboys, and Jennifer Markey and the Hungry Truckers. A $5 donation is suggested. The event was created by Jennifer Markey whose father died in 2003 after a battling leukemia. "I didn’t start playing until after he got sick, so he never saw even one of my shows," Markey recalls. "But I know if Dad were alive today, he’d be proud of what I have accomplished, and what I’ve put together. We’re actually doing something here. Believe it or not, leukemia research is keeping more people alive every day, and I’m proud to say that we were all a part of that. Dad would be too. And he’d be sitting right there in front of the stage, hanging on every word and loving every minute of it."
