Backline, a nonprofit providing mental health and wellness resources to music industry professionals and their families, will host a holiday-time benefit concert at New York’s Brooklyn Bowl on Monday, December 7. The evening will present three high-profile acts, Bella Kay, Mt. Joy frontman Matt Quinn and Taylor Meier of CAAMP, in an intimate, collaborative setting. Lake Street Dive bassist and songwriter Bridget Kearney will lead the evening’s houser band. In addition to individual event access, guests will have the opportunity to purchase private bowling lanes for groups of eight to further support Backline’s charitable endeavors. The event will be “powered” by Spotify.
“Music brings people together, and this evening is an opportunity to celebrate the community that makes it all possible, while giving back to the people who make this industry what it is,” Hilary Gleason, Executive Director of Backline said in a statement. “We’re incredibly grateful to Bella, Matt, Taylor, Bridget, and everyone helping bring this night to life. The support of this community allows us to continue showing up for the people behind the music.”
Mt. Joy recently headlined New York’s Madison Square Garden for the second time. Meier sat in during the night for a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?”
