The RockNRoll Chorus is a voices-only Rock and Roll group from New Jersey that is currently on a national tour.

“We are thrilled to be part of this amazing event, and contribute to those who are so desperately in need” said Joe Cantaffa, director and producer, The RockNRoll Chorus.

He notes that The RockNRoll Chorus enthusiastically believes in the idea of using one’s strengths and efforts to benefit the lives and experiences of others. Throughout the year, RNRC ‘adopts’ causes and promotes awareness by performing at (and promoting) charity and benefit events.

“This event helps to meet our goal, which is to expose these amazing, aspiring singers and give them as many performing experiences as possible,” said Cantaffa. “Seeing what Jacquie has accomplished via The Voice is truly inspirational to our students and is a wonderful example of what they also can aspire to.”

All proceeds from the event will directly benefit the residents of Union Beach who are still struggling to recover from the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy.

Seventeen-year-old vocal powerhouse Jacquie Lee struck a chord with America on the top-rated NBC show The Voice. Under the mentorship of pop superstar Christina Aguilera, Jacquie made an impressive showing as first runner up, signaling this young artist’s amazing talent. Jacquie’s debut single “Broken Ones” has over four million streams on Spotify and shot to the Top 20 on iTunes Pop Chart.  Jacquie signed to Atlantic Records in joint partnership with 300 Entertainment. Jacquie is currently touring the country as part of the 31-date Voice Live Tour.
