Paul Kares to present Concert for the Kids June 19 in Milton

Paul Kares will present a Concert for the Kids, an evening of cool tunes and tasty cuisine, starting at 6:30 p.m., Sunday, June 19, at the Milton Theatre.

“What better way to raise money for young musicians and culinary arts students than to showcase the best of both worlds?” said Paul Cullen, who founded the charity with Jim Rivette.

The musical lineup will include Cullen, former bass player for the rock group Bad Company, and guitarists Jamie McLean and Robbie LaBlanc. Also on the marquee are the Fitzkee Brothers and 5th Avenue Jazz.

“The entertainment showcases a lot of exceptional local musicians, young and old, in a variety of genres,” said Michael Whitehouse, executive director of Paul Kares. “We’re so fortunate to have so much talent on the stage and in the kitchen from the area.”

The evening will include heavy appetizers, craft beer and fine wines. The featured chefs will be James Beard semifinalist Hari Cameron, Brian Goldfarb, Brian Gussert and Cullen, a chef, sommelier and owner of Paul’s Kitchen, an Italian specialty store and brunch spot in Lewes.

Live auction items will include a trip to London, a tall-ship sailing cruise for two, a trip on a pilot boat and a four-hour pontoon boat ride for 12.

Tickets are $95 each. To purchase, go to paulkaresde.org.

Sponsors include Schell Brothers, Accent on Travel, the Milton Theatre, Freedom Boat Club, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Quest Adventures, the Pilots' Association for the Bay And River Delaware, Puzzles, Lewes Gourmet, the Cape Gazette, Paul Cullen Wines, Delmarva Power and Beach Time Distilling.
