Helping the Hungry

Peter Crooks

Larry Sly, executive director of the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, is a big fan of KFOG’s Live from the Archives benefit CDs. And not just because they have raised $2.7 million for Bay Area food banks, including $1 million for his organization.

Sly also likes the music. “I’ve downloaded all 11 of the previous albums into my iPod, and I listen to them when I’m driving to work and when I’m running,” he says. This year’s 12th annual album hits stores this month, and features live tracks by Los Lobos, Madeleine Peyroux, Ray LaMontagne, and Bay Area–favorite Train.

KFOG’s Live from the Archives 12 hits Tower Records on November 19. For information, go to www.kfog.com and www.towerrecords.com .
