City Winery

Music of Aretha Franklin at Carnegie Hall 3/6/2017

We'll be back at Carnegie Hall for the third time since 2014 performing as the house band for The Music of Aretha Franklin on Monday March 6, 2017.

The partial lineup of participating artists is already incredible and growing by the week. The show is a benefit and proceeds go to several NYC-based charities that bring musical experiences, training, and instruments to young people in the city.

We'll also be doing a warm-up show with some of the featured performers the night before at City Winery (NYC) on March 5. Big shout-out to producers Michael Dorf, Shlomo Lipetz and the entire City Winery crew for inviting us back.
