Huge names in music are lending their talents to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts at the “12-12-12” concert on Wednesday, Dec. 12.

The November storm ravaged the Northeast, an area that includes more than 200 towns served by Patch. Help has poured in from every area of the country, including Patch communities in Milwaukee. A Wauwatosa assistant fire chief provided disaster assistance, and a retired Wind Lake firefighter collected and delivered hundreds of pounds of supplies.

Wednesday's concert can be seen live on numerous TV stations and websites at 6:30 p.m. Cinemark Tinseltown theater in Kenosha is also listed as a location to watch. The all-star lineup includes Bon Jovi, Eric Clapton, Dave Grohl, Billy Joel, Alicia Keys, Chris Martin, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Eddie Vedder, Roger Waters, Kanye West, The Who and Paul McCartney, with other artists to be announced.
