"Run Boston Strong"

In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon tragedy, Hopkinton singer and songwriter Amanda Maffei knew she had to do something to help out. And at the recommendation of a friend, she decided to write "Run Boston Strong" as a way to honor those affected by the bombing by sending out a message of resiliency.

The song was recorded in the studio of Hopkinton musician Barbara Kessler and several other residents lent their production, instrumental, and vocal talents to the track. The group hopes that the song will reach a wider audience where all those affected by the bombing can listen to the song's message.
