Delta Rae returns to The Ridgefield Playhouse on Friday, June 24 at 8 p.m. as part of the Northeast Builders of Ridgefield, LLC Emerging Artist Series, Mountain Dew Country and Blues Grass Series and Pepsi Rock Series powered by Xfinity.

It’s also a great night to get out and support Parkinson’s Disease research. VIP Meet and Greet Tickets are available for an after show VIP Party – including beer, wine, dessert and meet and greet! All proceeds go directly to the Michael J. Fox Foundation dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease. This event is partially underwritten by Heather and Jeff Butchen. Their daughter Zoe Butchen is a Team Fox ambassador.

After learning of her father’s diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, 14-year-old Zoe Butchen knew she wanted to find a way to support her father and others living with the disease in any way she could. Being philanthropic-minded, Zoe combined three things that she loves — Taylor Swift, dancing and her family — to create a unique fundraiser to support a cure for Parkinson’s. Using Swift’s song “Shake It Off,” Zoe and her family launched a viral fundraising campaign challenging others to dance, shake and donate.

The night kicks off with Gabe Dixon. Dixon‘s self-titled album was named as one of the “Best Of The Year” by Paste, Village Voice (yearend critics poll) & others. His songs have been featured on ABC, CBS, NBC, CW and more. His song “Find My Way,” was the title theme for the #1 Sandra Bullock Film, “The Proposal.” Gabe is currently working on his next album in Nashville.
