Lots Going On!


First, Joy Askew, a powerful and compelling performer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and recording artist, will perform a solo concert to benefit A.W.A.N. The date is Saturday, April 5, 2008, 8 pm, at Unison Arts Theater, 68 Mountain Rest Road, New Paltz, NY (click the preceding link for a map and directions).

Joy is best known for her work with Peter Gabriel, Joe Jackson, Laurie Anderson, and David Byrne. Her sixth solo CD, The Pirate of Eel Pie, is scheduled for release April 8, 2008. David Doud of WDST states, "Joy Askew's performance really draws you in - you'll want everyone you know to hear this record."

Tickets are $15 in advance and for A.W.A.N. members and $20 at the door.

Joy joins with A.W.A.N. in our shared commitment to helping animals. Funds raised from this concert will support our continued work addressing the cycle and suffering of homeless companion animals and its contributing efforts towards future projects that include helping to bring a spay/neuter van to Ulster County.

Then, on Saturday, May 10, 2008, Uncle Funk will perform in "The Big Purr," another soulful, fun benefit for A.W.A.N. This one will be held at Keegan Ales, which is located at 20 St. James Street, Kingston, New York (again, clicking, on the preceding link will get you a map and directions). There'll be great music, special guests, dancing, fabulous food, a silent auction, and much more! Tickets for this event are $20 in advance and for A.W.A.N. members and $25 at the door.
