Fans of singer/composer Duncan Sheik (Spring Awakening) will have a unique opportunity to meet him when he joins LIFEbeat: The Music Industry Fights AIDS supporters following his Tuesday, May 15 Society for Ethical Culture concert. Sheik will appear at a special AfterParty event at D'Or (located inside Amalia at 204 West 55th Street), sponsored by Pravda Vodka.
Press notes state, "LIFEbeat's AfterParty Series gives a limited number of fans the opportunity to join stars at an official post concert event where they can mingle with celebrities and industry bigwigs, enjoy complimentary cocktails, and party like a rock star --- while making a difference in the fight against AIDS." LIFEbeat, which is celebrating its 15th year of the AfterParty Series, has thrown over 50 events with artists as diverse as Sarah McLachlan,
Tony Bennett, Jewel, Courtney Love, and more. For more information, visit
