The concert will be produced by Dennis Fowler, directed by Laura Pestronk, stage managed by Rich Abrams with Emma Peele coordinating production.

The audience will hear 20 songs from Bisen-Hersh's catalog. The evening will be comprised of pet themed songs as well as songs of relationship hardships, which pets help get you through. Songs will include "So You Wanna be Feline?", "Losing a Pet", "I'm Not Interested in You", "That's What He Said", "It's Not You, It's Me" and the popular youtube hit, "Hey!".

All the proceeds for the evening will go to the Humane Society of New York, which has "cared for animals in need when illness, injury or homelessness strikes" for over 100 years. The Humane Society saved Bisen-Hersh's cat, Smee's, life in 2009, and this annual benefit is his way of saying thanks.
