LeadingAge Minnesota member Mary T. Inc., founded and operated by Dr. Mary Tjosvold, is hosting a benefit concert at Crooners Supper Club — also owned by Tjosvold — on Monday, July 28, at 7 p.m.

Sound of Solace

“Sound of Solace” will be an evening of song, support and community, held in memory of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and in support of Sen. John Hoffman, his wife, Yvette, and their daughter, Hope, as they continue to recover.

The concert will feature some of the Twin Cities’ most acclaimed vocal and stage performers, including Jennifer Grimm, Tyler Michaels King, Jen Burleigh-Bentz, Ben Dutcher, Austene Van, Dane Stauffer, Kersten Rodau and others. It will serve as a heartfelt tribute to these public servants and the challenges their families are facing.

All ticket revenue will be evenly split between the Hortman and Hoffman families, providing support as they navigate the challenging road ahead.
