The holidays are upon us, and that means time once again for Jam for Tots! Since 2014, Jam for Tots has been held across New York State and the Northeast, bringing live music fans together to support those most in need in their local communities.
At 10 venues around New York State, fans are encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy for a child (under 13) and drop the toy off in the box. These toys will be brought to local charities within the venue’s community, to ensure that these toys brighten the day of children within the local area.
Shows will be hosted by multiple beloved venues, including Buffalo Iron Works, Bug Jar, Funk ‘n Waffles Syracuse, Lark Hall, Nanola, Putnam Place, Stewart House, State Theater Ithaca, The Strand Theatre Hudson Falls, The Hollow Bar + Kitchen and The Waterhole. We thank these venues for their support of this worthy cause.
Things kick off this week at Lark Hall with The Last Waltz, on Wednesday, November 23rd. The second annual Last Waltz on Lark Street will feature local musicians, including Brian Bean (bass and vocals), Mike Coleman (bass), Tom O’Connor (guitar and vocals), Rick Rothermel (keyboards and vocals), Sarah Sheppeck (vocals), Joe Sorbero (drums and vocals) and Jeremy Walz (guitar and vocals). And, in the true spirit of The Band, Levon Helm and The Last Waltz, the band will joined by special guests throughout the evening.
