For the second straight year, affable folksters Chip Cruz and Josh Harty strum for a good cause, to benefit the Wil-Mar Center and Common Wealth Development. Guest musicians, door prizes, a silent auction, bake sale and ugly sweater contest are all on offer, along with a voter registration drive (it IS the east side, after all). Both are earnest singer-songwriters, so it should be fun to see them get a little jolly for the sake of the holidays.

media release: Josh Harty and Chip Cruz are inviting the community to gather for a night of music, merriment, and giving back at their Holiday Concert on Saturday, December 6, at 6:00 p.m. at the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center, 504 S. Brearly Street, Madison. This special evening will benefit both Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center and Common Wealth Development, two organizations dedicated to supporting and strengthening the Madison community.

The event is generously sponsored by Rotunda Cafe, Weary Traveler Freehouse, and Willy Street Co-op.Guests can look forward to:

Live music from hosts Josh Harty and Chip Cruz, plus very special guests (The legendary Andy Moore is hosting!)

A festive Ugly Sweater Contest with fun prizes

A Silent Auction featuring unique items and local offerings

“We are really excited to bring people together again this year to celebrate the seasonand support two organizations doing vital work in this neighborhood,” said musician and host Josh Harty. “Music has a way of connecting people, and this concert is our way of giving back to the community that supports us all year long.”

Community members are encouraged to wear their most festive (and silliest) sweaters, bring friends, and enjoy an evening of holiday cheer while supporting local nonprofits.
