The New York date for the Sweet Relief Musician Fund Benefit is to raise money for the cause. They support musicians who are struggling with age-related problem, disabilities, or illness if they're struggling financially. It's an incredible cause that has helped out countless musicians; it's truly admirable what they're doing. It's really cool to see Conor supporting them, and that show should be a wonderful turnout.
Don't miss him if he's coming to your area!
