Hynde gig celebrates new restaurant
Monday September 17, 2007
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Chrissie Hynde and Jerry Lee Lewis performed at a concert to benefit a local theatre and celebrate the forthcoming opening of Hynde's vegetarian restaurant.
Hynde, the lead singer of The Pretenders, presided over a weekend celebration of VegiTerranean, her eatery that will feature a blend of Mediterranean and vegetarian cuisine when it opens in Akron, Ohio, in October.
The events started with a Friday night acoustic performance, continued on Saturday afternoon with the restaurant's ribbon-cutting ceremony and ended on Saturday night with the concert.
Hynde handed out bean salsa and other hors d'oeuvres from a silver platter at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
"Save animals and stop all of the violence," she told those gathered at the ceremony.
Proceeds from the concert benefited the Akron Civic Theatre.
