~ The City ~
Beats therapy

The City is big enough to be one. 11-pieces --horns, backup singers, the real vintage R&B deal-- belting out original tunes composed by lead singer/guitarist Gene Woods. And there's a "mission" involved here. For more on that, click on "About Us."

  • The City turns its cause-driven mission to cranking out its special brew of homegrown soul and r&b music on behalf of U.S. troops stationed in one of the world's most troubled countries: Afghanistan.
    Gwynne Rose, a senior at Henry Clay High School, has taken on this fund raiser as her senior mentoring project and The City is happy to oblige.
    The show is on behalf of Military Missions, an IRS approved 501(c)(3) non-profit organization started by Beth Pennington of Lexington, the mother of a U.S. Marine who has served three tours of combat duty. After talking with many of her son's friends about their overseas experiences, Mrs. Pennington came up with the idea to start sending them care packages full of useful items such as shaving cream, zip-lock bags, socks, etc. This small project eventually grew in size and is now known around the country.
    $8 door. All proceeds collected after minimal costs of producing the event will be donated directly to Military Missions to ensure a steady flow of care packages to the troops.
