Feast on Our Beggars Banquet at the Loft at City Winery

Notes from an Artist, a nightly online music and talk show hosted by musicians David C. Gross and Tom Semioli, hosted a benefit for Teen Cancer America at the Loft at City Winery on February 9. The event, entitled Feast on Our Beggars Banquet, gathered musicians from the local club circuit to perform their renditions of the 10 songs from the Rolling Stones' 1968 album Beggars Banquet . Chris Berardo, Mark Bosch (Ian Hunter, Garland Jeffreys, Mott the Hoople '74), Lizzie Edwards (Lizzie & the Makers), the Joey Kelly All-Stars, Chris Parker (Miles Davis, Bob Dylan), Puma Perl & Friends, and Gass Wild (Pretenders, the Love Pirates) were among the performers.

Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend of the Who created Teen Cancer America (TCA). Since 2012, Teen Cancer America has partnered with hospitals throughout the United States to develop specialized facilities and services for teens and young adults with cancer. TCA builds teen friendly environments, enhancing the hospital experience. TCA develops standards for age-targeted care, improve collaboration between pediatric and adult specialists and enable dedicated research to improve outcomes and survival for our young people. TCA's Play It Back music program gives adolescent and young adult cancer survivors the opportunity to express themselves and heal through the power of making music. Play It Back connects cancer survivors with industry professionals to create songs, meet artists, and explore music.
