Vajra To Play WPDH Roof-A-Thon Benefit at The Chance Theatre in Poughkeepsie, NY
New York, New York (PRWEB) September 27, 2013 -- NYC based quartet Vajra have confirmed that they will play the WPDH Roof-A-Thon this Sunday September 29 at 6:30 p.m. at The Chance Theatre in Poughkeepsie, NY.
101.5 WPDH has been on the air for 35 years, and through those years WPDH has contributed many hours to various local charities. This year marks the 28th anniversary of the most famous WPDH Hudson Valley Fundraiser, ROOF-A-THON. This year the WPDH Roof-A-Thon will be the weekend of September 27, 28 and 29 and will be held in the memory of the station's dedicated host Mark Cooper. "Coop" has hosted many Roof A Thons dedicating hours and hours to raising money for the kids. This year, everyone will pitch in and continue his vision and do whatever they can to help the kids and anyone affected by Type 1.
Band founder and vocalist, Annamaria Pinna states: "I am so excited to get back to my roots and play this event. I grew up listening to WPDH and dreamt of playing The Chance Theatre as a child. This is a return home, and I am so grateful for this opportunity, and for such a great cause."
This show wraps up the band's recent Equinox Tour after playing at The Mercury Lounge in NYC, the Utica Music & Arts Festival in Utica, NY, BSP Lounge in KIngston, NY, The Legendary Dobbs in Philadephia, PA and The Dewey Beach Music Conference & Festival in Dewey Beach, DE.
Following the tour, the band is going to focus their efforts writing new material for their second album, slated to be released next year.
