I’m Hosting the GFW2013 Benefit at Maxwell’s

A fantastic lineup of bands rockin’ to raise money for the Global Fund for Women and I’m psyched to be hosting once again.


I can’t believe we’ve been dong this for five years. Where does the time go? I guess the fact that the show is always a fantastic time with amazing music for such a great cause helps make the time fly. Which can be both good and bad. It’s good because it makes the night come quicker. It’s bad because the night goes just as quick.

Well, it’s upon us once again. The 5th-annual Concert to Benefit Global Fund for Women will be held at historic Maxwell’s in Hoboken on Wednesday April 3, 2013. This year the show will feature performances by Devi, clueLess Allstars (special guests TBA), The Aster Pheonyx Project, Precious Roy and an after-party dance set from DJ DJ Tava Luv.

It’s a night that means a lot to me as well as to the founder of the event, Nelson Pla. Nelson set out to turn his annual birthday celebration into something more worthwhile. And since basic human rights are always worthwhile, this benefit event was created. He read about the work of Global Fund for Women and immediately understood the importance of the organization. It also inspired him to coin the benefits mantra:

Women’s Rights are Human Rights.
If you don’t understand this, then you are clueless.

Global Fund for Women is an international network committed to a world of equality and social justice. Founded in 1987, this nonprofit organization defends women’s rights by making grants to support women’s groups. They promote the economic security, health, safety, education and leadership of women and girls worldwide.

Hosted by li’l ol’ me, organized by Nelson Pla and presented by Clueless Events, this year’s benefit show will have another fantastic line up of bands, local heroes, and surprise guests. So spread the word and help us rock out for a great cause.

Be sure to come early for dinner. If you’ve never eaten here and you love comfort food, you won’t be disappointed. There will also be discounted parking available nearby. There’s just one thing to remember. If you haven’t been here in a while, please note that the parking garage on Park Ave and 15th Street has been torn down. You can still get validated parking at Maxwell Place (details below).
