LOCAL ALTERNATIVE MUSICIANS HOST BENEFIT FOR NO-KILL ANIMAL SHELTER ON FEBRUARY 3RDOn
Thursday, February 3rd, three local bands will join forces for a charity concert designed to raise funds and awareness for Cape Ann Animal Aid (
http://www.capeannanimalaid.com), a no-kill shelter based in Gloucester, MA.
The performances will be held at
The Skybar, 518 Somerville Avenue in Somerville, MA, and will feature the haunting melodies of Amber Spyglass (

musician-activist Nancy Mroczek PHD (

This event begins at 8:00 PM, is open to the public, and all proceeds from the $8 admission charged at the door will go directly to benefit Cape Ann Animal Aid. Patrons are encouraged to bring pet food and supplies to the venue that evening, as they will be collected for the shelter.
Originally intended as a rescue committee for the helpless kittens and puppies abandoned by casual summer residents, Cape Ann Animal Aid Association has grown into a home-finding agency for all unwanted or stray cats and dogs on Cape Ann. Last year, the shelter placed over 500 animals, every one spayed or neutered. Every penny spent comes from the shelter's supporters - they receive no state or municipal funding.
