Senior co-chairman for the NAIAS 2008 Carl Galeana said "It
was a fantastic evening for children and a grand night for Detroit.
The Barenaked Ladies performance was the first of its kind for
the NAIAS and we are incredibly pleased with the results. Both
performances by the Barenaked Ladies were amazing and we think
they really gave our attendees a night to remember at Charity
Preview."
Barenaked
Ladies, made up of Ed Robertson, Steven Page, Tyler Stewart,
Jim Creeggan, and Kevin Hearn, entertained crowds with famous
songs like "If I Had A Million Dollars," "Pinch
Me," "Brian Wilson," "The Old Apartment,"
the Billboard Number One Hit, "One Week" and more.
