Jeffrey Osborne
Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Jeffrey Osborne was the youngest of 12 children and was surrounded by music as he was growing up. He had five brothers and six sisters, some of whom went on to have music careers. His father, Clarence “Legs” Osborne, was a popular trumpeter who sat in with the likes of Lionel Hampton and Duke Ellington and turned down many top band offers during his career to be with his family, he passed away when Jeffrey was only 13. At the age of 15, Jeffrey sat in with the O’Jays when the drummer was unable to perform to their standards, and went on to play with them for two weeks. That was all the inspiration Osborne needed to pursue a musical career. 
Osborne’s solo career has brought him four grammy nominations, five gold and platinum albums, including his debut self entitled album ” Jeffrey Osborne”, “Stay with Me Tonight” and “Only Human”. He scored an international hit with “On the Wings of Love” in 1982. After his six albums released on A&amp;M during the ’80s, he moved to Arista for Only Human (1990), then switched to a series of independent labels. His releases during the 2000s included ” That’s for Sure” (2000) and “Music Is Life” (2003), as well as cover albums ” From the Soul “(2005) and “A Time for Love” (2013). His latest project entitled “Worth It All” was released in 2018 on Mack Avenue Records , this project was written and produced by Jeffrey Osborne , with the exception of one song entitled ” Work It” which was co-written with his son Jeffrey Osborne Jr. who also performed on the track with him. This project, inspired by the late great George Duke has taken Osborne back to his deep R&amp;B roots.
Currently Jeffrey Osborne is actively performing and touring around the world. In 2012 Osborne founded The Jeffrey Osborne Foundation and the Jeffrey Osborne Celebrity Classic. The primary mission is to benefit nonprofit organizations who support a continued push for music and arts to children and their families, as well as those who provide a safe haven for families in need. In the past nine years through his Celebrity Golf Tournament the Jeffrey Osborne Foundation has donated over $1,000,000 to various charities in Rhode Island. 
Will Downing
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/willdowning" rel="nofollow"></a><a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/WILLDOWNING3" rel="nofollow"></a><a target="_blank" href="https://instagram.com/willdowning3" rel="nofollow"></a>
They say a man’s “soul” is his spiritual essence. Life’s twists and turns can lift that soul high into the sky or send it crashing to the ground below. Unfortunately, 2023 started with the latter for Will Downing, following the unexpected and soul-crushing loss of daughter Aron Siobhan Downing in January. As a father, he was devastated… heartbroken. As an artist, he sought solace and comfort through his craft, facing the hurt head-on and exploring multiple themes of love to begin the healing. Persevering through the pain, The Prince of Sophisticated Soul has shared his 7- song masterclass in triumph over tragedy, Soul Rising!
Celebrating an insane 35 years in the “bizness” and 27 Albums to his credit Will Downing will not be stopped! Flexing on his international appeal, the lead single “What Part of My Love” shot to the top of the UK Soul Chart Top 30 and parked there. Those who no longer listen to new releases as the collective work it was intended to be, should make an exception in this case. Although not a “concept” album, the pieces of Soul Rising fit together beautifully as a single statement and should be enjoyed as such. We all know the about the smoothness, but there’s a brand-new kind of… dare I say… “Funkiness”, that I think is here to stay!
You (and your speakers, headphones, etc.) will feel the difference right off the jump, with the lead-off cut, “Closer to Me”, when that bass and drum starts hitting a little differently. The familiar writing and production tandem of Downing and guitarist Randy Bowland, turn the heat up a bit from their usual formula. With keyboardist Mike Logan Sr. and background vocalist Ms. Monet rounding out the groove, I dare you not to move somethin’! 
Soul Rising then takes a solemn turn to the heart and very “Soul” of this release. Downing, maybe for his own well-being, had to stare his tragedy down squarely and turn art into therapy. “Till We Meet Again”, serves as a father’s sweet hand-off to God to care for his angel Siobhan, until they’re joined again divinely as father and daughter in heavenly reward. An unimaginable undertaking for a parent attempting to channel pain into art. The song is introduced by the actual last New Year’s Day last voicemail exchanged by Downing and Siobhan, which contain no hint of the drama to unfold just 10 days later. Downing makes the song a true family affair, with daughter Aja and wife Audrey Wheeler Downing lending their supportive voices. A passionately moving albeit gut-wrenching tribute, but well done. 
Family… Will Downing dug deep for this one. Even down to the Album cover a original piece of artwork by Frank Morrison. Realize, recognize and appreciate a real man, a real artist and a real father with his Soul Rising!

Solarize Delco Launches Community Solar Grant for Delaware County Nonprofits&nbsp;Grants of up to $20,000 available to help mission-driven organizations reduce&nbsp;energy costs and go solar
DELAWARE COUNTY, PA &mdash; Solarize Delco, a nonprofit solar education and advocacy organization serving Delaware County, Pennsylvania, has launched a community grant program to help local nonprofit organizations go solar. Grants cover up to 50% of the cost of a solar photovoltaic (PV) installation, up to a maximum of $20,000 per organization, and are available now while funds last. &ldquo;Solarize Delco exists to make solar accessible to everyone in Delaware County. Nonprofits are often doing the most essential work in our communities &mdash; feeding families, supporting children, serving our neighbors in need &mdash; while operating on the tightest budgets. Every dollar we can free up from their energy bill is a dollar that goes back into their programs. That&rsquo;s why this grant exists.&rdquo; &mdash; Solarize Delco Solar energy offers nonprofits a rare combination: a meaningful reduction in operating costs, a hedge against rising utility rates, and a visible demonstration of commitment to the community and environment. For many organizations, however, the upfront cost of installation has been a barrier. This grant is designed to change that. The grant program is part of Solarize Delco&rsquo;s broader mission to advance clean energy adoption across the county. As a no-pressure, no-sales advocacy organization, Solarize Delco provides education and guidance to help organizations navigate the solar process with confidence &mdash; from understanding their options to reviewing installer proposals &mdash; with no financial stake in the outcome.
Grant Details and Eligibility The Solarize Delco Community Solar Grant is open to qualifying organizations that meet all of&nbsp;the following criteria: &bull; Nonprofit status: Qualified 501(c)(3) organization in good standing &bull; Location: Operating in Delaware County, Pennsylvania &bull; Mission: Provides direct social services to the local community &mdash; such as food access,&nbsp;shelter, health services, education, or similar programs that directly benefit Delaware&nbsp;County residents &bull; Property ownership: Owns the property on which the solar installation will be located &bull; Site suitability: Property has an adequate location for a solar array, whether rooftop or&nbsp;ground-mounted &bull; Grant Amount: Up to 50% of total solar installation cost, maximum $20,000 per organization. Grants are awarded on a rolling basis while funds remain available. Organizations are encouraged to apply early. How to Apply Interested organizations can apply directly through the Solarize Delco grant application,&nbsp;available at&nbsp;<a href="https://solarizedelco.org/solar-grants-now-available-to-delco-nonprofits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">solarizedelco.org</a>. Solarize Delco is also available to answer questions about&nbsp;eligibility, the application process, or solar energy generally. There is no obligation and no sales&nbsp;pitch &mdash; just straightforward guidance.&nbsp;Questions may be directed to&nbsp;<a href="mailto:solarizedelco@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">solarizedelco@gmail.com</a>.&nbsp;Other Solarize Support&nbsp;Organizations with insufficient capital to match the grant but with suitable facilities: Solarize&nbsp;Delco can advise on no up-front cost solar options that can cut power costs up to 45%.&nbsp;Organizations that don&rsquo;t own or have a long-term lease on their facility: Solarize Delco can&nbsp;provide advice and connect you with free resources to reduce your utility bills and your &ldquo;carbon&nbsp;footprint&rdquo;.
About Solarize Delco Solarize Delco is a nonprofit solar education and advocacy organization dedicated to advancing&nbsp;clean energy adoption across Delaware County, Pennsylvania. We help residents, businesses,&nbsp;and community organizations understand their solar options and navigate the process of going&nbsp;solar with confidence. Solarize Delco is an independent, no pressure resource with no financial&nbsp;stake in installer selection &mdash; our only interest is helping our community make the best decision for them.&nbsp;Learn more at&nbsp;<a href="http://solarizedelco.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">solarizedelco.org</a>&nbsp;or contact us at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:solarizedelco@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">solarizedelco@gmail.com</a>.
