    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Georgia Berkovich [email protected] (213) 624-4588 MUSIC WITH A MISSION – STRIKING A CHORD SINCE 2010 WHAT: Music With A Mission (MWAM) WHEN: Thursday - May 31, 2018 - 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm WHERE: The Midnight Mission, 601 S. San Pedro St., LA, CA 90014 WHO: Craig Doerge As one of L.A.'s top studio players, bandleaders, and songwriters, Craig Doerge's keyboard skills have been enjoyed on countless albums - for such diverse artists as Linda Rondstadt, Carly Simon, The Temptations, Phoebe Snow and many more. As a performer, Doerge (rhymes with "Fergie") is best known for his keyboard work with Crosby Stills & Nash, James Taylor and Jackson Browne - having earned 23 gold & platinum albums from these three acts alone. His piano skills have played a leading role on such hit records as "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight," "The Pretender," "Running on Empty," "Rock Me On The Water," "Shadow Captain," "Just a Song Before I Go," "The Load Out/Stay," "Wind On the Water" and "World in Motion." After 25 + years on the road, Craig decided to get off the tour bus, stay closer to home and start his own record company, aimed primarily at recording his music and artists. Craig turned his attentions to composing full time and, more important, to a secret weapon... someone so special that he could make a career leap. All it meant was going back to what, and who, got him into show business in the beginning. WHY: WHY: The Midnight hosts Music With a Mission (MWAM) to entertain and inspire those living on Skid Row.
