If you’re in Hoboken, and you go west of Willow Avenue, you’ll not only find Sinatra’s boyhood home and the Café Visa but also the 503 Social Club. The West of Willow collective (WOW), an organization that hosts charitable events like the ones they’ve held for Ukraine and Planned Parenthood, will, on December 8, host a benefit concert at the 503 starring Hoboken rockers Karyn Kuhl and her Gang plus Debby Schwartz of the bands Psych-O-Positive and The Aquanettas. Poets Danny Shot and Vera Sirota will also perform.
WOW co-founder Jack Silbert told Cindy Stagoff of www.njarts.net that “unhoused people have recently been demonized in our community…so now more than ever it was important to side with and assist financially the crucial work of The Hoboken Shelter.” (There are over a thousand homeless people in Hudson County alone.)
Kuhl, who appears in The Jersey Sound documentary, was quoted earlier this year by Stagoff talking about her art: “I veer off course occasionally, but basically every song I write is my version of Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘Annabel Lee,’ a poem about young lost love that really stuck with me. Grief is a catalyst for my creative process. Most of my songs are an attempt to heal from loss.”
