The Big day has come and gone, and over 450 friends, family and fans from all over gathered on Sunday, June 1 at the Irish American Heritage Center to enjoy some of Chicago's finest Irish and Folk musicians and raise funds to help Joe and his family in this time of need.
It was an overwhelming success.
So we've put together a list of the musicians who shared their talent and music, as well as the motherload of items were part of our massive Silent Auction and Raffles.
