| Former Magee Rehabilitation Hospital Patient to Perform with his Band 61 North on Magee's Rooftop Pa |
| Date : - 12/08/2009 |

In 2004, Ryan “Gooch” Nelson suffered a spinal cord injury and thought his days of playing the guitar were over.
But thanks to his therapists at Magee Rehabilitation Hospital, some determined musicians and an adaptive glass slide, the Gooch and his band 61 North are bringing the house down at gigs all over Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
And the Gooch and the band are giving back.
On Friday, September 4 at noon, 61 North will perform a free concert and barbecue for the patients and staff of Magee on the hospital’s rooftop patio.
“This event should be a great day full of music, food, and fun, said Nelson. “We hope to raise the spirits of the patients, as well as promote awareness for spinal cord injury.”
Joining 61 North for the rooftop concert will be Penn State Alum and football player Adam Taliferro. Taliaferro, who was also a patient at Magee after receiving a spinal cord injury in a Penn State football game, has dedicated his life to helping those with spinal cord injuries through the Adam Taliaferro Foundation.
61 North has played many benefit concerts, giving the money raised to both Magee and the Adam Taliaferro Foundation.
