Tonic Ball, a fundraiser for Second Helpings, turns the Friday before Thanksgiving into one of the city’s biggest live music events. This year fans can either take the Stairway to Heaven or a jaunt down Highway 61 as local artists pay tribute to Led Zeppelin and Bob Dylan. The night spotlights well-known performers like Jennie DeVoe (shown here) and Otis Gibbs alongside bands that form just to perform at the event.
