“We believe in the power of music to bring people together for a common purpose,” said James Kelly, event organizer and passionate community advocate. “Through this event, we aim to not only entertain but to uplift and support the vital work the Rescue Mission does every single day.”
Now in its 4th year, the fundraiser has become a staple of the Capital Region’s music calendar—blending high-energy performances with heartfelt community impact.
This year’s lineup features a dynamic roster of local favorites, including:
