Ingrid Michaelson, Chris Franz and Tina Weymouth Collaborate with Sandy Hook Kids to Record Somewhere Over the Rainbow

A month after 20 children and 6 adults were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, students from Newtown gathered at the home studio of Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, of Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club, to record their version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” featuring Ingrid Michaelson. The proceeds from the sale of the song and the advertising with this video will benefit the Newtown Youth Academy and the United Way of Western Connecticut.

Ingrid, who sings and plays ukulele on the track, told Good Morning America that she hoped the track would not only make money for the community, but could offer an “afternoon of enjoyment for these kids” who had been through so much.
