CITY STOMP PLAYS CONCERT TO BENEFIT

HOPE & HEROES CHILDREN’S CANCER FUND

BROOKLYN, N.Y. – (March 30, 2013) — With a line-up of songs that celebrate New York City’s vibrant cultures, sights and sounds, combined with upbeat versions of children’s classic melodies, City Stomp takes the stage at Littlefield, Brooklyn on April 13 in a concert to benefit the Hopes & Heroes Children’s Cancer Fund. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. at the Gowanus- area music venue.

“Hope & Heroes supports the best care for children with cancer in our community,” notes Kevin MacCallum, founder of City Stomp, a music program for kids growing up in New York City. “We encourage all families to come out not only for a great time, but to help make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer, the number one disease killer of children.”

Hope & Heroes helps children with cancer and their families by funding the Herbert Irving Child & Adolescent Oncology Center at Columbia University Medical Center, located at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital in New York City.

City Stomp’s play list includes several songs in Spanish from the Latin-flavored spring term, as well as some upbeat tunes about Coney Island, the five boroughs of New York and a punk re-mix of Itsy Bitsy Spider. The Brooklyn-based band is comprised of five veteran musicians, including several who are instructors at the City Stomp music classes held in multiple locations around Brooklyn.

Doors and cash bar open at 2:30 p.m. Also on tap are activities, snacks and face-painting for the kids. Littlefield is located at 622 Degraw Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues in Brooklyn.
