Hickey's to host 'Food for Strings' benefit

Hickey’s Music is hosting its second annual “Food for Strings” event from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, at its Dey Street store. Bring in five or canned food donations, and the staff will install a free set of D'Addario strings on your six-string acoustic or electric guitar (sorry, shredders – no Floyd Rose bridges allowed). All food items will be donated to the Friendship Donations Network for distribution to area food banks.  

While you’re at the store, you can check out its new guitar string recycling program, Playback.  Sponsored by D'Addario and TerraCycle, this is the world's first wide-scale string recycling program. “Drop off your old strings anytime and we will recycle them for you!” Visit www.hickeys.com to learn more.
