Phoenix Eleven will be playing during this stellar event.

Atlas - will be sitting in during the intimate concert.
Everyone Should CNY
Portions of the concert, favorite childhood haunts and other local attractions will be filmed for "LET'S GO with Ben Mauro", the travel series that Ben created while on tour with various artists like Lionel Richie,
