Thursday December 10th
Detroit MI – Dream Town Media presents a evening filled with music for a great cause. Come out and help bring a smile to a child this holiday season at the Toys for Tots fundraiser at the Hard Rock Café on Thursday December 10th.
Toys for Tots is a great and simple way to spread some holiday cheer this year to those who are less fortunate. This program which was founded in 1947 by the United States Marine Corp. is truly a blessing to those in need that may not be able to provide their children with a gift for the holidays. The mission is to collect new, unwrapped toys and to distribute them as gifts to needy children.
Friday November 20 at 1:30 EST, the 7 Million Jigawatts tune, “Angel Dressed to Kill” will be featured on Indie On Air! Jeff “Classic” Popka’s music podcast. You can listen here.
Another great video of 7MJ from our good friend Kimball Shellnut was recently added to our youtube channel. Hear Piece of My Heart with a bit of reggae live at the Hard Rock Cafe.
Folks, for those of you who have not contacted the band and gotten a ticket to the Thursday nights release festivities, time is running out. So are the available tickets….
