Chris Rene Rocked the Vote Friday for City Council Candidate Pamela Comstock
The star of TV's 'X Factor' played with a host of other big name musicians. For a night Santa Cruz felt like Hollywood.
Pam Comstock's campaign event Friday was like none in recent memory.
Held on top of the Rittenhouse building, it featured singer Chris Rene, Cruz Matik, featuring former New York Giant Reggie Stephens and Jason Williams, and Ribsy's Nickel, which also features Williams singing.
"This raises the bar higher than ever," said City Councilman David Terrazas.
