but first, heART!

This Friday, April 10th, The V-Tones of Charleston are happy to be playing music for the heART program's show. Now, the good people of heART collaborate with their clients to put on a talent show for each session.  The clients have different kinds of challenges, such as Downs Syndrome or Autism/Spectrum, so their performances are infused with courage and energy and sincerity! This show has a 'spirit animal' and bridal theme. The show is at the St. Barnabas Lutheran Church, across from Hampton Park on the corner of Rutledge and Moultrie, and should start around 6pm. It probably will run just shy of an hour and a half. Donations to support the program are gratefully accepted. The V-Tones will be providing some music throughout the show, and some dance tunes for the finale! Come out and support the good work that's a'happenin'!
