Ansonia resident Keith Solsbury, 49, has been suffering for more than six years from the effects of esophageal cancer.
He has survived surgeries, intense chemotherapy treatments and dramatic weight loss.
His wife, Maggie Nolan-Solsbury, said he has chronic pain “from his salivary glands down to his hips.”
A concert, “Stomp Out the Fire,” will be held Saturday at the Freight Street Gallery in Waterbury to benefit the Solsbury family as well as to promote the fact that April is Esophogeal Cancer Awareness Month.
Maggie Solsbury said she credits her cousin, Mark Nolan of Naugatuck, and his friends for making her dream of holding the concert come true.
She booked the event in October, but had her own health issues and could not do as much to plan the event as she had hoped, she said.
Nolan and Carl Taggett, who own Nolan Brothers Music in Waterbury, have planned the concert along with Mike Byrne and Dustin Byrne, owners of the Freight Street Gallery, 170 Freight St., Waterbury.
