The 10th annual Love Rocks NYC benefit concert, which supports God’s Love We Deliver, the charity that gives healthy, medically tailored meals to those in need, returned to the Beacon Theatre in New York City on Thursday, March 5. Last night’s musical event featured a staggering lineup of artists, performing select songs and igniting collaborations on the historic Big Apple stage. To mark the yearly gathering, we have pulled 10 top moments that elevated the occasion. 

This year’s rotating cast of top-tier acts and artists included Paul Simon, Billy F. Gibbons, Elvis Costello, Hozier, Jon Batiste, Linda Perry, Mary J. Blige, Warren Haynes, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Susanna Hoffs, Trombone Shorty, and more special guests. The 10th annual concert led by the music director and band leader Will Lee (The CBS Orchestra), who led a house band that included Eric Krasno, Ivan Neville, Larry Campbell, Michael Bearden, and a horn section featuring Pedrito Martinez, Shawn Pelton, Ricky Peterson, and Steve Gadd.
