Phil Aiken played a couple of tunes during the early part of Chris Toppin’s Birthday Bash. He even had the birthday girl join him on backing vocals.

More than just a celebration of Boston rock’s finest shuffling the deck for the night, One Night Band is also about raising money for good causes. This year, one of those good causes was Girls Rock Campaign Boston.* When the cards were dealt, One Night Band 4 fittingly gave us our first all-female outfit. Chris Toppin, Elena Siegman, Melanie Bernier, Nazli Green and Theresa Polk formed Sir Vix-A-Lot, a band that provided one of the night’s most memorable songs. I won’t spoil it for you. Just go watch this video.
* This year’s event raised more than $3,000, which goes to Girls Rock Campaign Boston and Zumix.
