Serenity House CD

Kevin Mackie, from East Coast Recording Company, has put together an album called “Serenity House” to benefit the Serenity House Hospice being built in Doylestown, PA. The impressive list of artists, who donated songs to the album are: ASIA, Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Annie Haslam (Renaissance), Pat DiNizio (The Smithereens), Robert Hazard, Kathy Sledge (Sister Sledge), Think Of 3, The Luck Brothers, Jann Klose, Sterling Koch (V.I.H.), Dave Renz with Bob Miles and Steve Pullara. Annie Haslam also painted the original artwork “Serenity House” for the CD cover, and designed and designed the CD package with graphic designer Krista Wallhagen. One hundred percent of the profits will go to the hospice.

Nina McKissock, R.N., who (founder and visionary for the house that supports those in hospice care) explains the “Serenity House and Hospice Support of Doylestown Inc. is a volunteer organization providing physical, emotional and spiritual support, without cost, to those incurably ill members of our community and nurtures those who love them. Within a freestanding residence or within someone’s home, our highly trained compassionate volunteers provide non-medical care to those at the end of life Bereavement counseling and financial services are also available.” The capital campaign will begin in the near future and, once the funds are raised, the construction will begin.

This CD was made possible because of caring donations from sponsors: Shop Rite of Warminster (owned and operated by the Brown Family) and The Albin Family Foundation.

The CD, “Serenity House” will be released on September 6th, 2007. There will be a CD release party MC’d by Grover Silcox television personality at WLVT PBS 39 (Tempo TV magazine) and worked ten years at The Fox Morning Show in Philadelphia.

In the album’s notes, WMGK-Philadelphia radio personality Debbie Calton writes, “The music on this CD was donated by the artists as their way of being a part of the story. All of these musicians have provided their own brand of shelter in this wonderful collection of songs: some gentle and introspective, some rousing and vigorous, all intending to tend to the human spirit.”
