Harpin' Help 2011

Harpin' Help 2011

at Bar Anticipation.

A full afternoon of music and fun starts at 12:30! Admission is $20 at the door, or $15 and two cans of non-perishible food, or food-related items(paper towels, etc) for eight (count ‘em) eight hours of music!

Harpin' Help is an annual charity event organized by local musician Sandy Mack in conjunction with the Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Foundation.

The purpose of Harpin' Help is to generate some much needed funding for JSJBF, to provide some much needed food for The Keyport Ministerium and to share some great live musical entertainment.

Each year many of the best local, regional & national musicians donate their incredible talent to this worthy case. If the past year's shows are any indication, Harpin' Help 2011 will again be one of JSJBF's musical highlights for the entire year!

Bar “A” is Bar Anticipation

703-5 16th Avenue, Lake Como, NJ
