The Light In The Attic label broadcasts a series of live performances by different artists tonight. 100% of the donations will go to MusiCares, an organization to help members of the music community affected by the coronavirus.
Several of the label’s artists will perform some of their compositions, both new and old, while a handful of talented friends from around the world will each cover the songs from the label’s famous catalogue. From Rio to Tokyo, from Cardiff to Austin, from Barbados to Italy – each musician will be doing what they do best, sharing the gift of song, perhaps in their pajamas and perhaps with their children, and wherever they feel comfortable and at ease in the privacy of their own homes.
To be seen on Light In The Attic’s Twitch and Youtube channels at 7:00pm EST.
