TORRINGTON -- Belle of the Fall will be playing at the Warner Theater to celebrate the release of their debut album, "Earthbound,"on Friday. This event will be raising much-needed funds and awareness for the Jett foundation, a foundation that's leading the fight to cure Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Two Torrington heroes, Jacob and Liam Kelly will be honored.

Sarah Cody profiled the family and their fight to provide full lives to Jacob and Liam earlier this year.  Their mother Kelly has joined a group of parents pushing for FDA approval of an experimental drug called eteplirsen, currently in clinical trials, that they believe can help these boys.

The event will be Friday, May 13, 8 p.m. at the Warner Theatre, in Torrington.
