T.T. the Bear's knows how to support its employees. Bartender Jeanne Sheehy is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, and the club has teamed up with local bands to raise money for her medical bills.

As you can see above, many bands are stepping up to help out, and a Metro piece on the benefit concerts reveals why. Eric Doberman of the Delusions, who play tonight, praised Sheehy as a "den mother/concierge," and the bands playing the benefit shows are returning the favor.

Tonight the shows kick off, and T.T. the Bear's will break out the big guns when Thalia Zedek and Buffalo Tom perform on December 29. Get those tickets now.
