In Memory of Dirk C. Webster
Head East deeply regrets to announce the unexpected passing of our friend and crew member Dirk C. Webster. Dirk was a stage manager in the music industry for most of his life, having worked for Head East, The Lovin'' Spoonful, Paul Revere & the Raiders, and many more. Dirk worked with Head East several times over the years and had recently rejoined the Head East Family. He was a go-to guy you could always count on and was a great friend to the band and crew member. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family, especially his son, Donovon.
A celebration of Dirk's Life will be held for Family and friends on Saturday, June 29th at his childhood home in Rockford, Illinois.
