It’s the kind of evening where anything can happen — the greats of the music world coming together at the Beacon Theatre to help God’s Love We Deliver.
The 10th annual Love Rocks NYC concert returns March 5, bringing together an all-star lineup to benefit God’s Love We Deliver, the nonprofit that prepares and delivers medically tailored meals to people too sick to cook or shop for themselves.
“Love Rocks was the perfect name for this show because the amount of love put into this project, into this room, onto this stage, into the audience, even the Beacon Theatre itself, the entire staff brings love. It’s extraordinary,” said Nicole Rechter, a concert and events producer and one of the three executive producers of Love Rocks NYC, alongside Greg Williamson and fashion designer John Varvatos.
