Hard Hittin' Songs for Hard-Hit People
Saturday Jun 7, 6PM @ 2640 (2640 St. Paul St.)
On June 7th, the fourth annual Hard Hittin' Songs for Hard Hit People benefit concert will bring the music of Lafayette Gilchrist, Caleb Stine and The Brakemen, Walker and Jay, The 5th L, and Ben Hartlage to Heart's Place Homeless Shelter in a celebration of the shelters' work and an effort to raise money for its future. For over twenty years Heart's Place has operated in the basement of St. John's Church in Charles Village, offering food and shelter for some of Baltimore's thousands of homeless residents. Guests refer to Heart's Place as the 'Hilton' of the homeless shelters because of the respectful, supportive staff and comfort they offer.
Hard Hittin' Songs is a grass-roots benefit that has raised close to six thousand dollars for the shelter and showcased the sweat-and-blood music of the areas finest musicians. As anyone who's attend this event in the past will tell you, it's a win-win scenario, where the community has an outlet to support one of our great shelters and listen to some of Baltimore's best music.
