Joining Webb and his group will be the following celebrities and media personalities: the krewe Les Belle Femmes; Henry "Killer" Lawrence, retired star of the NFL's Oakland Raiders; Joe Lala, a founding member of Blues Image and former collaborator of Stephen Stills'; "Watchdog on Wall Street" Chris Markowski; Marvelous Marvin; Arena Brothers ( Sammy and Andrew ); Sharon Taylor; Belinda Womack; Relinda Womack; Dennis Lee; Austin Idol; Lanny Poffo; Mike Deeson; Jerry Petuck; Brendan McLaughlin; Jennifer Epstein; Paul Wilson; Steve Persall; Ernest Hooper; Virginia Johnson; Brian Blair and Bill Murphy.

Formed in 2005 as a group of singers and musicians who met informally to perform and spend time together, the Famunda All-Stars have raised close to $50, 000 for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation ( PCF ) in their first three Koncert 4 Kiddz events. "We look forward to this event every year, " Webb said. "We're thrilled to use our talent to help someone in need, " he added about the Famunda All-Stars' association with the PCF. The Famunda All-Stars, in addition to the annual Koncert 4 Kiddz, also constantly play clubs and other public events, both to raise funds and to simply perform and share their unique brand of music. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Jazz News :: home page |
