Music and Storytelling Event to Raise Funds for Homeless Veterans

SARATOGA SPRINGS — RallySound, a nonprofit working to empower community through music, will host “Songwriters in the Round – An Evening of Music and Storytelling” on Thursday, April 16 at The Anthony “Skip” Scirocco Music Hall in Saratoga Springs.

A pay-what-you-can event, the evening will feature Adam Ezra, Margo Macero, and Melanie Krahmer & Rich Libutti of Sirsy performing some of their favorite songs and sharing the stories behind them. All are donating their time and talent to the event to raise funds for veterans. Money raised will benefit The Ramble music festival—another pay-what-you-can event held annually on the last Saturday of August.

The Ramble, run by the all-volunteer Ramble Army, is funded through donations from attendees, generous supporters, and sponsors. For every $1,000 raised, The Ramble—working in partnership with The New England Center and Home for Veterans—provides the resources needed for one veteran to transition off the streets and into safe, dignified housing. RallySound donated $161,000 to the mission last year and has donated more than $750,000 over the past 13 years.

“Songwriters in the Round” will be held in the music hall at Saratoga Springs City Hall (third floor) from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. (doors at 6 p.m.).
