NEW YORK – Iconic Greek-American fashion designer John Varvatos and New York City real estate broker and God’s Love We Deliver Board of Trustees member Greg Williamson presented Love Rocks NYC, the 3rd annual benefit concert in aid of the charity God’s Love We Deliver, which provides life-sustaining meals and nutrition counseling for people in the New York metropolitan area living with severe illness. The event, held at the Beacon Theatre in Manhattan on March 7, was hosted by Whoopi Goldberg and Martin Short and featured performances by Robert Plant, Sheryl Crow, Hozier, Buddy Guy, Billy F Gibbons, Grace Potter, Keb’ Mo’, Taj Mahal, Lukas Nelson, Jimmie Vaughan, Doyle Bramhall II, Bernie Williams, Ivan Neville, Marcus King, Larkin Poe, Alice Smith, and Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart.
Amid all the legendary rock stars, former New York Yankees star Bernie Williams apparently stole the show and “demonstrated that he has become a major-league musician since the center fielder retired in 2006 from a 16-year baseball career spent entirely in Yankee pinstripes,” the New York Post reported.
The Grammy-nominated Williams “won a guitar-hero showdown with ZZ Top’s Billy F. Gibbons during the Jimi Hendrix classic Foxy Lady,” the Post reported, adding a comment by Bill Murray, one of the hosts at the event, “What can you say about Bernie Williams’ guitar skills? The word that comes to me is clutch.”
God’s Love We Deliver, the cherished New York-based not-for profit-organization is celebrating its 34th anniversary this year.
