Tickets will not be mailed. Please pick up at the door. Folk/Americana artists Jerry Bresee, David Morreale, Karyn Oliver, Lisa Taylor and Doug Alan Wilcox will perform a Singer-Songwriter Tribute to Van Morrison at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 20, at the Takoma Park Community Center to benefit for Hungry for Music. Takoma Park-based Hungry for Music is a nonprofit charity organization that supports music education and cultural enrichment, both in the United States and abroad, by acquiring and distributing quality musical instruments to under-served children with willing instructors and a hunger to play. |
Jeff Campbell, Hungry for Music’s founder and director, heard Wilcox sing his favorite Morrison tune at a Focus Music-sponsored benefit in January, and they shared their fondness for the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer known for hits such as “Brown-Eyed Girl” and “Moondance.”
“When Jeff proposed the idea for this show to me … the thought stuck and I couldn’t let it go,” said Wilcox, of Hagerstown, Md. “Several months later, we were off and running. Assembling the cast of musicians was ridiculously easy — everyone jumped at the chance to play some songs by one of the world’s most revered writers, and the cause is an important one to all of us. The opportunity for interplay between performers on some wonderful tunes should make this show a very special experience.”
