Jack Grace: 12:30-2:45pm
“ He’s like that Cash kid, but good.”- Jerry Lee Lewis "Grace is a New York institution" Chronogram "It sounds like Cole Porter meets Gene Autry"- New York Times Jack Grace was born in Brooklyn, NY. He has spent decades on the road in the US, Canada and Europe, playing his "Country Rock with a Bossa Nova Twist". He has performed with a wide variety of artists, from Gordon Lightfoot to Jerry Lee Lewis to Norah Jones, Doc Watson to Fishbone, Merle Haggard to The Meters and his original songbook of many genres blends with them all. He is an accomplished finger-picking solo performer that could make you laugh or have you shed a tear, as well as a storied band leader, comfortably riding his well worn power trio into a dance frenzy or leading his decadent 7 piece outfit (complete with The Broken Mariachi horn section) deep into his sometimes humorous, yet often heartbreaking repertoire. "As clever as The Beatles" Americana Highways SUPER TROOPERS and SUPER TROOPERS 2 Jack Grace is known for his five songs in the cult hit, Super Troopers (Fox Searchlight), which Jack also aided in scoring. The song, “Big Bear," is also featured in Super Troopers 2 (Fox Searchlight), making Jack the only artist to have music in both movies. "He’s a New York legend."

Our Honorees


This year we will be honoring Thalle Industries for their community-centric partnerships, philanthropic leadership and dedication to Paws Crossed’s mission to “Rescue One By One Until There Are None”.
Thalle Industries is an environmentally responsible supplier of high-quality virgin and recycled aggregate, asphalt products, ready-mix concrete and brownfield fill for the construction industry. Thalle Industries operates three locations in New York: an asphalt plant and quarry in Fishkill; a Virtual Quarry® in Elmsford that accepts clean, uncontaminated concrete, asphalt pavement and rock; and Dakota Concrete in Montrose, which produces ready-mix concrete and serves as a second Virtual Quarry®.
“Our Virtual Quarry® is next to Paws Crossed, so our employees often see the compassionate work that Paws Crossed staff and volunteers perform. We congratulate Paws Crossed for rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding new homes for almost 400 dogs and cats in the first half of this year, and we support their community education programs that encourage responsible pet ownership,” said Glenn Pacchiana, President & CEO of Thalle Industries. “While our dog walking certifications with Paws Crossed have lapsed, my family holds Paws Crossed dear to our hearts.”
