It’s fitting that Michelle, Whitney, and Hilary are bringing their “You’ve Got a Friend” project to the Metropolitan Room, as Joshua Wolff frequently performed there as a pianist and vocalist. The evening promises to be a poignant and heartfelt celebration of Joshua’s musical life and legacy.

Proceeds from the album will benefit the Joshua Wolff Memorial Music Education fund, providing free music education and scholarships to children in Moore and Cumberland counties, North Carolina.
