This years very special event stars local guitar legend Tommy Conwell with his new rocking band and also features a most impressive top shelf cast of Delaware Valley singer songwriters, performers and musicians, who have come together to help raise funds and awareness for folks facing the debilitating effects of multiple sclerosis. A devastating and crippling neurological disease that is quickly becoming one of this nations worst life altering and life ending illnesses for all too many people right in our own local communities.

Sharing the stage this day with The Tommy Conwell Band will be one of Philly’s most loved rising young stars Carsie Blanton, South Jersey’s own wonder woman Bo Rains, the acoustic folk stylings of Terry Rivel & friends, the classic and traditional sounds of Dave & Brian (featuring violinist Ellen Anderson), the red hot rocking bands John Magill & The Have Nots and The Paisley Pickles, starting off with the way cool reggae beats of The Groovement at 3pm. The master of ceremonies is local folk godfather Ray Naylor and the show will encore around 6:30pm after Tommy’s headlining set with a rousing production featuring The Friends Of The Barrington Coffeehouse Players followed by the official MS Guitar Auction where the winner will receive a brand new Fender Stratocaster, donated courtesy of Guitar Center of Cherry Hill.

In these bleak economic times, fund raising for many charities has taken quiet a negative hit while the disease shows no signs of slowing down. This concert is hosted by the MS Challenge Walk and Bike Run activists ‘teaMSole’ and is intended to be a fun and entertaining outlet for the cause as well as addressing the seriousness of the issue. These two MS walk and bike events take place in separate weekends in October. The music is free to enjoy but the capital is raised through donations. All proceeds from this event benefit The National Multiple Sclerosis Society and a second charity concert (also hosted by teaMSole) is slated for September that will also benefit The MS Association Of America as well.

At the core of the National MS Society’s vision is their commitment to creating a world free of MS for 11,000 members in the Greater Delaware Valley. That means offering a full slate of programs aimed at educating people about how to overcome the disease’s physical, social and financial effects, as well as customized direct services to address each individual’s specific needs.

But they don’t stop there. The Society and this chapter fund numerous research projects into the cause and cure of this disease. Something we’re all hoping to achieve in everyone’s lifetime.

Come on out and together with these incredible entertainers be a part in the finest local feelgood concert event of the year helping to create a world without MS. 

Sing Out For A Cure!
