The event is a fundraiser for both Fountain Street Church and the Grand Rapids Community Media Center. Rent or purchase the film through May 20 on Amazon Smile will result in a percentage of the proceeds being donated back to Fountain Street Church or Grand Rapids Community Media Center (whichever is chosen).
According to supplied material, “Streetlight Harmonies” is “an entertaining journey through the groups, songs, and harmonies that evoke both days gone by as well as current hits … Streetlight Harmonies uncovers a definitive period of music and the artists that defined it. Millions know the music but few know the artists and their history that laid the foundation for Rock & Roll, Rhythm & Blues, and built a bridge to the Civil Rights Movement.”
“Streetlight Harmonies” is a Ley Line Entertainment production, distributed by Gravitas Ventures. For more information on “Streetlight Harmonies” visit streetlightharmonies.com.
