With Honor and My Heart To Joy are getting back together to put on the benefit show, along with Hostage Calm and Call It Arson. OvLov, Newtown natives, are also on the bill. They play the Hungarian Hall in Wallingford on Saturday, February 9.

“The Sandy Hook tragedy hit close to home for a lot of us involved in the Connecticut scene,” said Hostage Calm guitarist Tom Chiari in a statement.  “Everyone felt an immediate need to help those affected and these two amazing shows are the result.  Our hope is that the greater community will come together for the weekend to celebrate and pay tribute to those affected by the tragedy.”
