Posted by on November 16, 2012 – 2:46 pmIn wake of the devastating impact of Hurricane Sandy, Dave Matthews Band has pledged $1 million to regional recovery efforts. The group is turning its November 30th winter tour opener – the first of two nights at the IZOD Center – into a benefit concert. The Live Nation presented event will feature special guest Jimmy Cliff.
All proceeds from the November 30 show, including ticket sales and merchandise, will go to the Bama Works Sandy Relief Fund. Proceeds from tickets that were purchased prior to the announcement of the benefit will also be donated to the Fund. The Bama Works Sandy Relief Fund has been established at the Community Foundation of New Jersey to support immediate and long-term regional recovery efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. For additional information, please visit cfnj.org.
Hans Dekker, president of the Community Foundation of New Jersey, commented: “We are honored and touched by the generosity and commitment of Dave Matthews Band to our regional recovery through this relief concert. The event will raise significant dollars for much needed long-term recovery, and the Community Foundation is committed to helping the money raised greatly impact the communities in our region.”

My name is Paul Czekaj singer/songwriter from Flanders New Jersey. I have recently released two music videos all about New Jersey. They’re called “MY HOME NEW JERSEY” part l and ll. They have done very well receiving over 600,000 views so far. The songs rocks and the video shows a lot of the great places to go and see in the Garden State. You can watch them both on you tube. I think the videos would be perfect for any Sandy relief benefit. Please feel free to use them in any way you think might help.
Thank You,
Paul Czekaj.
