The boys have been invited to particpate in a fantastic charity event coming up in May, called 500 songs for kids.
500 SONGS FOR KIDS is a 10-day live music marathon, counting down ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE'S 500 GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME. We'll be counting down these 500 songs with 500 DIFFERENT BANDS/MUSICAL ACTS and SOLO ARTISTS, over a whirlwind 10-day period. This will be the largest musician involved charity event ever in Georgia, bringing together roughly 1500 individually performing musicians- all for an incredible cause.
GEORGIA is the first location to host this event, and soon after, we'll be bringing the SONGS FOR KIDS FOUNDATION, INC. and the 500 SONGS FOR KIDS countdown to other states.
The SONGS FOR KIDS FOUNDATION, INC. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit tax-exempt organization. Its purpose is to connect musicians, the music industry, and music fans with kids in need: Kids who are battling cancer, have lost a sibling or a parent, and kids who are suffering from many other life threatening diseases and problems.
WHAT is the Songs For Kids Foundation, Inc.?
We're a way for special kids camps and hospitals to get connected with musicians in their backyard. Are you a camp looking for a group to perform during your camp season? Are you a hospital looking for a singer-songwriter to entertain some of your kids? Are you a band looking to donate your time at a camp or hospital? Our goal is to bring everyone closer. Just fill out the appropriate form: camp/hospital application or performer form, and we'll get the word out to acts/ camps we think are appropriate for your situation.
We will perform song #71 on Friday May 11, 2007 at Smith's Olde Bar here in Atlanta. Hope to see you there!
