LiveConnections
I was lucky enough to be present for the The Big Hurrah an annual benefit for LiveConnections. The event showcased the work of LiveConnections which brings together artists from different musical backgrounds, and creates interactive, educational performances for urban youth and special needs populations. The events are hosted at World Cafe Live, which founder Hal Real describes as a “great clubhouse,” where musicians, and music lovers have been gathering for the past 10 years.
