The show featured John Legend, Buffalo Tom, Kay Hanley, French Lick featuring Wyc Grousbeck and Theo Epstein, Peter Gammons and the Hot Stove All-Stars. Emceed by Mike O'Malley.
About Foundation To Be Named Later
The Foundation To Be Named Later (FTBNL) was launched in Spring of 2005 by Paul Epstein, a social worker in the Brookline Public School system, and his brother, Red Sox General Manager Theo Epstein, with the mission of raising funds and awareness for non-profit agencies in the Greater Boston area serving disadvantaged youth.
The chief fundraiser for FTBNL is the Hot Stove, Cool Music Concert Series. In July 2005, the FTBNL benefited from the inaugural summer concert, Hot Stove, Cool Music: The Fenway Park Sessions. In October of 2005, FTBNL distributed its first round of gifts to eight non-profit agencies chosen for their outstanding work with youth.
