The Dirty Pearls @ Times Square, NYC 23-Mar-2013

As part of the Born Brave Bus Tour, The Dirty Pearls played a free concert in the middle of New York City's Times Square on Saturday 23 March 2013 for the Born This Way Foundation, which is led by Lady Gaga and her mother Cynthia Germanotta. Singer Tommy London, bassist Doug Wright, guitarists Tommy Mokas and Sunny Climbs, and drummer Marty E. Concussion, entertained the afternoon crowd on Broadway, helping to spread the foundation's mission of a more accepting society where differences are embraced and individuality is celebrated. Also joining the band at 'the crossroads of the world' were trumpet virtuosso Brian Newman (Lady Gaga) and Steve Kortyka on saxophone.
