New York
City-based rock band Hollis Brown hosted a Holiday Jam at Coney Island Baby on
December 14, 2018, and invited several musical friends to join them on stage. Darryl
"DMC" McDaniels of Run-DMC, Steve Conte, Jesse Malin, Cate O'Riordan
of the Pogues and Elvis Costello's band, Byron Isaacs of the Lumineers, Don DiLego, John Gallagher, Jr. of Broadway's Spring Awakening, Lizzie Edwards of Lizzie + the Makers,
Ann Courtney of Mother Feather, Gordon Lawrence of Beechwood, Fiona Silver, and
Richard Barone, formerly of the Bongos, each sang a song. Hollis Brown
performed several songs before introducing the guests, and then played a few
more songs afterwards.
All proceeds
from the concert benefitted the Jimmy Fund. The Jimmy Fund is a charity which
raises money solely to support adult and pediatric cancer care and research at
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts. Since its founding in
1948, the Jimmy Fund has raised millions of dollars through thousands of
grassroots efforts to help save lives and give hope to cancer survivors.

I was just reflecting on how much fun this show was and in total disbelief that's it's been two years already. Wow. I hope all who performed and who attended are safe, happy and virus free. Crazy times we're in.
