Face masks are recommended but not mandatory. For those unable to attend, donations can be made at lucyshearth.org and mckinneyshelter.org  Concert organizers Mark and Anne Gorman are anticipating a great night of music. “This year’s line-up includes our founding musicians along with a nice mixture of new acts,” Gorman said. “It’s always a wonderful way to get into the holiday spirit and the warm acoustics of Channing Church set just the right mood for an intimate musical experience.”  Scheduled to perform are Jimmy Winters, Chuck and Toni Ciany, Mel, Leslie Grimes and Matt Bruneau, John Monllos and Joanne Rodino, Tom Perrotti and EmmaLee Holmes-Hicks, Carrigan Nelson and Steve Rodrigues, Julie Bisbano, Diane and Chris Myers, Rand Bradbury, Dragonfly Marie, Ed McGuirl with Joe Lambiase, Jack Moore and Jim Chapin, Ray Davis and Mark T.

On a typical night in Rhode Island, there are about 1200 people without housing and of those, 400 are children,” he said. “Every dollar we raise goes directly to these two local shelters and the need couldn’t be greater.” Attached is a photo of the Singing For Shelter All Stars Rose Escobar (photo credit) thomas a. perrotti   p.o. box 4176   middletown, r.i.  02842   (401) 847.7335   equalitypark@gmail.com On Thursday, December 8, at Channing Church on Pelham Street in Newport, local musicians will again host Singing For Shelter, an acoustic Christmas concert for the benefit of Lucy’s Hearth and The McKinney Shelter.
