Artists celebrate Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl
Southern Arizona artists will gather at Plush on Saturday to celebrate the lives of Amy and Derrick Ross, the musical duo known as Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl.
Amy died in October of complications from her long battle with lupus. Derrick committed suicide less than 24 hours later.
The couple was much loved in Tucson and in their hometown of Bisbee.
Buzz & the Soul Senders, The Tryst, Dylan Charles, the Dusty Buskers and Jim Adkins from Jimmy Eat World are just a few names scheduled to perform.
All of the proceeds will go toward the Lupus Foundation of Southern Arizona.

Built to Spill sports new drummer, bass

The band has no new music to promote, but is coming with new band members.
In January, the group’s core players announced they had replaced drummer Scott Plouf and bassist Brett Nelson with relative newcomers Steve Gere and Jason Albertini.
