Alex Harrilla has been booking some great shows in Erie for years through Gimp Guy Underground Promos, and soon, the Erie Reader 40 Under 40 member will have a very special show for him.

Bobby's Place will host Gimp Guy's Bday Bash Friday, Sept. 4, a night dedicated to a man who battles Muscular Dystrophy every day and hasn't stopped giving Erieites a chance to shine on stage. The night promises a premier, multi-genre lineup, including ska-punk outfit Oh No! It's Mustard Gas, hip-hop artist Tone Fach, singer-songwriter JC Nickles, and several other talented performers ready to celebrate Harrilla's 40th birthday in proper fashion. – Alex Bieler

7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4 // 1202 W. 18th St. // facebook.com/gimpguyunderground
