Tammy Faye Starlite Sings For The Dogs

Tammy Faye Starlite by Jini Sachse

Our favorite Hoboken chanteuse, Tammy Faye Starlite, will co-headline a concert June 25 at Bowery Electric in Manhattan benefitting Waggytail Rescue, the non-profit animal organization that rescues, rehabilitates and finds forever homes for our four-legged friends, both dogs and cats. The organization is New York’s largest volunteer-based shelter of its kind having saved 10,000+ animals in 21 years.

Starlite will be sharing the stage with the aptly-named Lonesome Prairie Dogs, a hot rockabilly-honkytonk roots-rock band, on songs by Hank Williams, Chuck Berry, Stones, Rick Nelson, Robert Johnson and possibly Loretta Lynn if, as Starlite says, “the moon is in a favorable phase.” It will be, in her words, “a night of abandon, of shoutin’, of dancin’, of rockin’ out and forgettin’ our sorrows…Lord knows oblivion is always welcome these days. It benefits the animals, who are much wiser and worthier than we are.”
