Never Ending Fall rocks Fallston for Harford Family House

School's out for summer, but that doesn't mean the youth of Harford County have checked out.

Mason Boeren, Conrad Boyd, Andy Millner, Chris Monaghan, Madeline St. Clair and Tommy St. Clair, otherwise known as the rock cover group Never Ending Fall, rocked out Saturday for their annual Summer Jam.

More than 250 people attended the private event to benefit Harford Family House.

The band played two one-hour sets that featured classics such as Chip Taylor's "Wild Thing" as well as newer hits like The White Stripes' "Seven National Army" and even a few originals written by members of the band.

The audience enjoyed the familiar sounds of their favorite rock songs while lounging on the two-acre private property filled with what seemed like endless food, drink and dancing children.

As skillful and exciting as Never Ending Fall's performance was, what really motivated the audience was that the concert was benefiting the Harford Family House, an organization that provides transitional housing for homeless families with children in Harford County.

For admission, guests were asked to donate items for Harford Family House's supply closet that is maintained to supplement the families with some of their most basic needs of hygiene and cleanliness. All proceeds from the T-shirt and photo sales were donated as well.

This is the first year the band has collected for the organization.

"The amount of donations has just been unbelievable," Steve St. Clair, NEF band manager and father of Tommy and Madeline, said. He estimates hundreds of dollars worth of supplies was donated. "We are extremely proud of the kids and hope that this wonderful tradition continues."

Never Ending Fall, a band that got its start in the Youth's Benefit Elementary School Talent Show and Spring Bazaar, consists of five 13-year-olds who attend Fallston Middle School: Conrad Boyd and Chris Monoghan on guitar, Andy Millner on bass guitar, Mason Boeren on keyboards, Tommy St. Clair on drums and 14-year-old Madeline St. Clair on lead vocals.

The young band expects to play at the Summer Crush Benefit held on the third Sunday in August each year at Looney's Pub in Bel Air. This concert will benefit the Matthew's Foundation, an organization that helps families fighting leukemia.

As the evening wrapped up Saturday, it was obvious that NEF had done it again, hosting a spectacular evening while reaching out to their community in the most rockin' way possible.
