Singer songwriter Tony Floyd Kenna has got together with some other musician friends from Ireland and the USA to produce a benefit album in support of the 2013 Moore, Oklahoma, Tornado relief efforts. All profits will be directly donated to OpOK Relief.
“I look at that picture of the flattened street, and think this is all that remains of people’s homes, dreams, life’s work, life… Seeing and reading about it all a few days ago I felt it wasn’t enough just to empathise or sympathise, something more needed doing, but what could I do, half a world away ? … I write and play, have friends the world over who write and play… Couldn’t we do an album, even if it didn’t raise much money it would surely help raise and keep awareness alive ? maybe even lift spirits a little…….”
Contributors included Steve Bonino (New York), Alaina Blair (California), Billy Alexander (California), Jed McConkey (Northern Ireland), John David Scrader (New York), Hetty Bryce-Lane (Northern Ireland) and John Hohnstein (Colorado).
