The charity was formed after Joseph was introduced over 8 years ago to a young boy living with HIV and Cerebral Palsy who was in need of a new wheelchair but was over looked by several government agencies. Help Is On The Way has since raised over $104,000 just from cabaret benefit shows. The Evening will also feature fabulous cookies by baker Brittany Angelica Gonzalez. She will be featuring a special cookie created for Help Is On The Way Today, which can then be ordered that night. There is a $10 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

NYC: PETE MOLINARI / KAYLYN MARIE AT JOE'S PUB
Pete Molinari and Kaylyn Marie will each perform at JOE'S PUB at THE PUBLIC THEATRE (425 Lafayette Street, NYC - 212-967-7555) on Tuesday, August 11th at 7:00 pm. Pete Molinari is fast establishing himself as one of the UK's most exciting musical talents. Born into a large Maltese, Italian and Egyptian family in Kent, the young musician became fascinated with the 1960s' folk of Leadbelly, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie. After reading the beat writings of Jack Kerouac, Pete set off for New York where he honed his craft in the blues clubs of the East Village. Then he travelled to Memphis, New Orleans, San Francisco and Los Angeles when he could, before returning home to record his debut album "Walking Off The Map" with the help of Billy Childish. While recording his follow up album, "A Virtual Landslide" at Toe Rag Studios in London, Pete began working with producer Liam Watson, invigorating his sound with a full band, thus uniquely modernising a historic sound. Lyrical folk-rock singer/ songwriter Kaylyn Marie returns to Joe's Pub after releasing her Debut EP Where I Need earlier this year. The NYC-based troubadour's belief in the power of story-telling cultivates her soul-stirring tunes. Though noted for her vocal prowess, candid lyricism, and innate musical sensibility, it is her ability to perform with absolute authenticity that grabs an audience and refuses to let go. There is a $15 cover.

Native New Yorker Rachel Brown performs at JOE'S PUB at THE PUBLIC THEATRE (425 Lafayette Street, NYC - 212-967-7555) on Tuesday, August 11th at 9:30 pm.

Rachel will be backed by an electrifying eight piece band for her Joe's Pub debut! There is $15 cover.
