Ari Gold
Headlines Equality Ride Benefit Concert in NYC, April 16

Award-winning recording artist Ari Gold will perform an exclusive benefit concert for the Soulforce Equality Ride. Special guests include Rent's Anthony Rapp, Project Runway contestant and designer Jack Mackenroth, and Emmy award-winning comic Judy Gold, creator of 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother.

Large groups of young LGBT activists have been boarding the Soulforce Equality Ride bus each year since 2006 to visit university campuses across the country as part of an awareness campaign of LGBT issues for college administrators and students. This year's campaign will concentrate on the southern United States and will include seminaries and several faith-based historically black colleges, according to a press release by the group.

Gold will appear at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 16, at Touch, 240 W. 52nd St., New York City. For tickets visit Soulforce.org/concert.
