“During the holiday season, we’ve decided to give something back to help out a cause that is near and dear to our own hearts,” said Mumblefish lead singer, Tom Powers. “Cancer is a serious issue, and the Relay For Life does a great job of getting the community and the students of North Middlesex Regional High School involved in the fight. We can’t think of a better organization to benefit during the season of giving, and we hope to see a lot of fans and friends at the Bash.”
