- Ryan Koenig Recovery Fund: (You Caring)
Via Big Muddy Records,
On Tuesday, December 5, our beloved Ryan Koenig was seriously injured in an accident in Charleston, South Carolina. He was struck by a vehicle on the sidewalk and has been hospitalized. He is stable and recovering. Ryan and his family would like to extend their gratitude and appreciation for the outpour of love and support. They also ask that the privacy of Ryan and his family be respected throughout this difficult time.
Big Muddy Records, with the blessing of the Koenig family, has started a fundraising page to aid Ryan in his recovery. The link to this page is as follows:
www.youcaring.com/ryankoenig
Koenig is a strong contributor to the St. Louis music scene and, in addition to being a full-time member of Pokey LaFarge’s band, he is known for his contributions to Rum Drum Ramblers, Southwest Watson Sweethearts, Jack Grelle, the Hooten Hallers, and more. He recently released his first full-length solo LP, Two Different Worlds, on Big Muddy Records.
Big Muddy Records would again like to extend the Koenig family’s appreciation to Ryan’s community and fans for their love and support.
