Hollis Brown's Holiday Jam at Coney Island Baby

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.
