"Will Sing for Food"

There is a group of
30 singers who are already rehearsing for a big event in January. The biennial charity
concert, "Will Sing for Food" is a combination
of songs with talented, experienced singers and musicians with an altruistic
side- all proceeds will help fund The Long Island Council of Churches food
pantries. This year, there is a special fund for Hurricane Sandy victims.


Andy Morreale, one of the directors
said, "Our performers consists of high
schoolers, adults and college students who are home for the holidays. We have a
fun- filled night planned which will even involve audience participation. Our
program is filled with a variety of songs from different genres from folk to
rock, bluegrass to pop. Our opening number is a song called 'Care' by Kid Rock."
