Daily News | Philly firefighter injured on duty to open Adjacent Music Fest with his band, Jersey Calling
“That would be the biggest dream come true,” Ballinger told Gordon from his hospital bed, during a recent re-hospitalization due to an infection.
Jersey Calling’s biggest gig so far was for about 500 in the basement of Haddonfield United Methodist Church. Once the fire was under control, Ballinger’s partner climbed down, then Ballinger lowered his chainsaw on a rope. His last memory is of walking to the ladder. Ballinger first picked up an instrument after his accident while still hospitalized. The lead guitarist of his band, Sean Breslin, brought a guitar to his bedside and they worked on music together there.
He’s been able to practice with the band since the accident and even performed at a show, playing an acoustic guitar in his wheelchair for a fundraiser in his honor, at Red White and Brew in Audubon.
