Donnie Iris, Joe Grushecky, Etta Cox, Scott Blasey and other Pittsburgh-area favorites will headline an Oct. 1 concert to benefit McKeesport-based Auberle.
Huntington Bank is presenting the ninth-annual Voices Carry rock concert from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. at Stage AE on Pittsburgh's North Side. The event features 20 well-known Pittsburgh musicians who will donate their talent to raise funds for Auberle, a spokeswoman said.
Auberle, located on Hartman Street, is a nationally award-winning human service organization serving at-risk children and families throughout southwestern Pennsylvania. It was named Agency of the Year in the United States by the Alliance for Children and Families, the largest network of human services organizations in the United States.
The concert will be emceed by WDVE-FM radio morning show host Randy Baumann. Event performers also include Chris Higbee and Jeff Jimerson, and each act will perform with a four-piece house band led by guitarist Rick Witkowski and the Pittsburgh All-Stars.
"Voices Carry is Auberle's biggest event of the year and one of the most exciting events in Pittsburgh," Auberle CEO John Lydon says. "We are so fortunate that Randy Baumann and Pittsburgh's music legends donate their time to raise awareness about the work that Auberle does to change lives. It's a great, fun opportunity to celebrate with our supporters and introduce new people to the life changing work that Auberle does."
Voices Carry was launched to raise awareness and funds for Auberle's 16 program areas that provide service to more than 3,000 at-risk children and families each year. Last year's event welcomed 600 guests including local politicians, television personalities, musicians and athletes, and raised more than $92,000 for Auberle.
