On Saturday, October 17th at 8PM, Linda Eder returned to The Town Hall with her new show All of Me. One of the greatest contemporary solo voices of our time, Eder was backed by a seven-piece orchestra led by Billy Stein. In addition to new arrangements to her signature songs like "Vienna" and "Someone Like You," Eder's eclectic program treated audiences to unique covers of popular classics, as well as performances of original material from her new CD, Soundtrack, covering classic movie songs.

Linda is very active in her support for Pets Alive very close to her heart and wanted to share with us its important purpose. Pets Alive is a no-kill animal shelter, located in the foothills of The Catskill Mountains, about 1 1/2 hours from New York City. Their mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and place animals in need. Victims of neglect, abuse, and violence, many of them have special needs and have been rejected by other organizations.

Animals at the sanctuary range from dogs and cats to farm animals, exotic birds, and many others. Many of the animals at Pets Alive are older, have special needs or require special care.
