My Heart To Joy’s Final Show & Dubey Family Benefit LP
Pretty much everything has a start and an end. For My Heart To Joy, May 14th at the Madison Arts Barn in Madison, CT will be that end. All proceeds from the band’s final show will go directly to the family of Mitch Dubey.
My Heart To Joy, who has been at the forefront of the Connecticut music scene for the past few years, will be sharing their final show with Algernon Cadwallader, Hostage Calm, Jettison, Snowing, Into It. Over It., Slingshot Dakota, and The Book Slave. The price for this amazing line up is a minimum of a $10 donation to the Dubey Family.
We’ve teamed up with the venue and all of the bands to release a live LP that will include at least one song from each band’s set. All proceeds from the album will go to the Dubey Family. Artwork for the album will be done by Ben Sears and more details on the record will be released after the show. Mitch Dubey, who was a good friend of both My Heart To Joy and Topshelf Records, was recently murdered at his New Haven, CT home.
