Plans have been finalized for John McMenamin's annual Remembering Harry Chapin tribute concert. The highly anticipated benefit will take place on September 21, 2003 at 3:00 p.m. at the historic Strand Theater in Lakewood, Ocean County, New Jersey.

Harry's band members John Wallace, Howard Fields, and Yvonne Cable will be joining John again this year along with Rob DeVitis on electric guitar and John Gebhart on keyboards for a special evening of Harry Chapin fan favorite stories and songs.

Beneficiaries of this year's event are World Hunger Year, the Harry Chapin Foundation, and the Catholic Charities Emergency Services Division in Lakewood. John requests that attendees bring along a nonperishable food item for donation to Catholic Charities. These items will be collected at the door.

Ticket prices are as follows: $35 for orchestra, $28 for loge, and $22 for mezzanine. To order by phone, call 732-367-7789 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT, or visit the Strand Theater Box Office. A service charge of $3 per ticket will be added.
