On July 1, 2010 Tommy Redd, co-founder and songwriter for Nantucket, lost his lovely wife Valerie after a long battle with cancer. Her illness and subsequent passing have left him and his daughter Amanda under great financial stress. Over the years Tommy has entertained and amused thousands of people. He has also given unselfishly of his time and talent to many causes near and dear to all of us. Now is the time to show your support for Tommy. All proceeds from this benefit will go directly to Tommy and his family.
