Will Turpin and Amy Gerhartz headline Atlanta benefit concert
A Rock By The Sea Christmas offers assistance and healing through music
Musical artists WillTurpin and The Way
and Amy Gerhartz
are joining forces for a charity concert in support of pediatric
cancer research and treatment.
RockBy The Sea, an
organization that raises money for worthwhile causes through music,
will present the star-studded holiday benefit concert at 7:00 p.m.
Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012, at Vinyl, 1374 Peachtree St., Atlanta.
A
portion of the proceeds ($10 a ticket) will benefit the Pediatric
Brain Tumor Program at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital in
Orlando, Fla.
Turpin,
co-founder of the multi-platinum group Collective
Soul, contributed the
William Dix Classic “What Child Is This?” to the October release
of A Rock By The
Sea Christmas: Volume Three,
a charity CD series of Christmas classics and original tunes. He said
the holiday season is best celebrated by finding ways to give back to
the community.
“I'm
a very traditional person at heart. Celebrating Christmas was a time
I looked forward to as a kid, and even more so now that I have
children of my own,” Turpin said. “Lending my name and support to
fighting pediatric cancer is simply my way of giving back and showing
gratitude.”
Gerhartz,
who contributed a song to Rock By The Sea’s 2011 charity
compilation, is an Atlanta-based singer/songwriter who has opened for
several national acts. Her music blends acoustic pop, rock, folk and
soul. The bill also includes Lauren
St. Jane and the Dead Westerns,
Steve Everett,
Echo Collection,
Travis Denning
and other musical guests. All of the artists are available for
interviews and appearances to promote the CD and show.
“Cancer
happens to everyone. Parents, siblings, spouses, children, friends;
cancer is ubiquitous and permeates the fabric that binds us together
as human beings. It’s personal,” said Tod Elmore, Rock By The
Sea board member and CD and show producer. “Coincidentally, cancer,
or rather the fight against it, has the ability to unite us as one,
as does music.”
Rock
By The Sea is
dedicated to planning and producing music festivals, events and
products that raise money to financially assist deserving cancer
charities that provide direct services to those in need. For more
