“Pierre loved live music and enjoyed being among the good citizens of Philadelphia,” said Chuck Damico, Program Director, WMMR. “‘The Pierre Robert: A Show of Life’ is a special event for all of us who cherished him, providing a fantastic night of live music and memories while honoring Pierre’s amazing life, and helping reduce food shortages in Philadelphia.”

“We will sing, dance, and celebrate in the way Pierre would have wanted us to,” Damico added.

Pierre Robert, the midday host on Philadelphia’s 93.3 WMMR for more than four decades, passed away on October 29, at the age of 70.

“His blend of kindness, musical knowledge, and enthusiasm shaped WMMR’s identity and the city’s rock community for more than 40 years. Colleagues and artists described him as a champion of musicians at every level, from stadium headliners to neighborhood bands,” WMMR said in a press release.

Listeners knew him for his welcoming “Greetings, citizens” salutation, as well as for his deep love of classic rock with curiosity about new music.

Organizers say all proceeds will support MANNA (Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance), which aims to help improve the health of people with serious illnesses through nutrition.
