On June 17th, New York will be coming together for a one night only, star-studded benefit concert to raise funds for the public school art programs completely devastated by the recent tornadoes in Oklahoma.
 
The national coverage of the destruction has touched us all; the seventh grader standing in the rubble of her school and longingly pointing to where her choir room used to be. We, as artists, understand at such a deep level that expression through art can educate, enlighten, and heal. Just as the first grade teacher had her children singing and playing as loud as they could to drown out and comfort them during the tornado, fine arts programs can help the children to process what happened and be excited about going back to school in Oklahoma. But unfortunately, we all know far too well that arts programs will be amongst the last to be rebuilt…but YOU can do something about that.
 
On June 17th we will be joining the power that is our artistic community for those kids in Oklahoma. Live music performed by stars of Film, TV and Broadway, a silent auction, and raffled prizes will provide a high-spirited and entertaining evening.
 
All proceeds from this night will be donated to Disaster Relief for Fine Arts in Oklahoma.
 
Please join us at NY4OK: A Benefit Concert for Oklahoma Tornado Relief– your help will make a huge difference.

Chris Barron (of the Spin Doctors)

Chris Barron sings for the band Spin Doctors and wrote the songs, “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong and “Two Princes” which got played on the radio and topped the Billboard Charts. Spin Doctors have sold quite a few records, appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine and on the television shows, Late Night With David Letterman and Saturday Night Live. The band just made a blues record called If The River Was Whiskey, which has been very well received indeed. He’s happy and grateful to be a part of the NY4OK concert.

Nick Blaemire & The Hustle

Born out of their suburban living room record players, these mild-mannered music nerds blend their love of funk, jazz, and R&B into their very own brand of “nerd soul” – a celebration of the old in the new, and an anthem for the underdog. The band’s first single, “Complete,” was mixed and mastered by Grammy Award winner, Mike Mangini, and they have been playing sold-out shows in NYC and LA ever since. Why can’t a dance song still have killer horn parts and a beat that could change at any moment? No reason at all, say the boys at The Hustle. Surprise is what music’s all about.
