Folk rock singer-guitarist Jeff Varga, who has worked the local scene for 40 years now, is also an animal lover and horse enthusiast. Varga, who has six solo albums under his belt, owns two horses, two dogs and one cat. That makes him the perfect guy to feature on this benefit concert, aptly dubbed “Holiday Sounds for Senior Hounds.” Mike Criscione, Kevin Richards and Rich Spina are also on the bill, and proceeds from the event go to The Sanctuary for Senior Dogs, a local animal rescue organization.
