“The music performers performing their favorite music range in ages from their twenties to the seventy’s,” says Pete Likes, concert arranger. “These individuals and others always step forward whenever I announce an upcoming concert to benefit any nonprofit charitable organization in the Hastings area. They want to share their talents and give back to the community.”
