Every Year Dave Michaels teams up with a celebrity to release a tune for charity. This year he invited some of his closest friends in the music business to join him as well ! You have a choice of one or both albums this year! 100% goes to The Hillside Family of Agencies. Dave raises money so the kids in need have a special holiday season with toys and instruments. Thank you for your support ! Let's give the kids a holiday they will remember for a lifetime! Special thanks to Peter Vincent and Dewey Richbar for their continued support. Dave is endorsed by Conci Cables.
It's the holiday fundraiser of the year and Dave Michaels is at it again. This year he is releasing an original track featuring a guest celebrity musician, as well as a local drummer . He also decided to expand the charity this year and invite some of his local (also national and international) friends to join him in a relay of sorts. The idea is to pass the word around and donate/raise money for the Hillside Family of Agencies children in need. . For his musical contribution, Dave teamed up with his friend Tony (an original guitarist from that famous band you all loved) to bring you a song that they wrote, produced, and recorded together called Summer of Love. It features a local drummer supreme - Marty Raymond as well..
Now for the REAL unique part! Dave invited all these great bands to join him., and if you buy the album (either one or both. This is 1 of 2) then you can choose which style of music you prefer. This album is more Rock oriented release obviously. Wait till you hear these highly talented artists !! The second album "Roll" is a collection of more laid back music by some of the absolute best solo artists/ bands He could find on the road over the years. You can't go wrong with either album.
Those that joined in on the fundraising, are the most caring, hard working, creative and talented groups and individuals around. All the songs you hear on the album are copyrighted by the authors. The artists all agreed to join in on the bundle as a way of giving holiday joy to the children at Hillside Family of Agencies. With your money, 100% of the sales gets turned into toys and instruments. If we max out the toy donations like Dave did a couple years back, then the rest gets turned into school supplies that will be given out for free to local teachers across western and central NY state.

Each artist on these albums worked VERY hard to put these songs together for this charity (as well as for their own catalog of online music for sale. We ask that you visit each and every artist's known social media or webpages and support them by buying more of their music if you wish. Dave Michaels found each of these artists either on the road or thru friends. He handpicked them and mastered this collection as a philanthropist, artist, and friend to the members involved.

The Thom Conde Project features Thom Conde...Guitar/Vox, Vinnie Andalora...Drums/Vox, Bruce Irwin...Bass and Peter Vincent on Lead Vox. Michael William Hatalak (It Dies Today)...Producer/Arranger/Engineer. The Thom Conde Project songs (1 and 5) are Peter Vincent's (Garden Party) return to the original music scene.

Dying To Live sets the bar high for the rest of the compilation. The band has immediate plans to release a video for After Tomorrow and to record a few more songs.

3. Plan B - Nick John Gabriel Lucido
4. Best Days- Chris Squier Band
Best Days by the Chris Squier band starts off with a well-played acoustic guitar intro and kicks into an uptempo groove with a sound that could be described as the all the best sounds of the 80's. A tight, clean mix of rockin' guitars, keyboards and uplifting vocals. Lead guitar solos are sparse but executed with precision and quality. The bass guitar chords sound great as the song comes to a close.

1. Once - David M. Miller (Miller and the Other Sinners)
2. Piece of Mind - Grosh
The feeling conveyed on Piece of Mind is melancholy and the drum track drives the song with a quickness that defies the ballad like sound. Megan's vocals are breathy, beautiful and emotional.
