I have heard and seen so much incredible music these past few months. Sometimes, it dwarfs my own stage experience, because I often find I'm more of a fan than a musician. Not to be self-deprecating at all, I am just feeling the fire in a big way.
Rock for a Remedy Every night is more surprising---HUGE night tonight in Buffalo. IG fans are incredible and so supportive. It's going to be a heck of a summer for hunger relief!
Rock for a Remedy Indigo Girls tour is AMAZING. Over a thousand pounds of food in only THREE shows. WOOOOOT!

Rock for a Remedy
The economic crisis in this country is affecting more and more Americans by the minute. People who never thought they’d need to use the services of a food bank find themselves unable to feed their families or themselves without one. Food Banks are being hit hard and are finding their shelves emptied in record time.
A...nd that’s where Rock for a Remedy comes in.
Beginning on Janaury 30th in Boulder, Colorado and for the rest of State Radio’s Winter ‘09 Tour, we have the ability to fill those shelves in every city.
Rock for a Remedy asks concertgoers to donate what they can, be it one can or ten… and it’ll add up fast! Donations are then distributed to so many in the local community: Middle class families. Homeless shelters. Women’s shelters. The sick. The poor. Our neighbors, our families, ourselves.
35.5 MILLION PEOPLE.
Your neighbors, friends, family, community.
It’s not hard to help. Here’s how:
1. Bring a bag of non-perishables to an upcoming show and help fill those vacant shelves. Whether it’s a single can or an entire box of food, every little bit makes a difference. And if you bring three items or more, you’ll be entered to win a State Radio t-shirt of your choice and an autographed poster!
2. Volunteer with Rock for a Remedy and collect food items at an upcoming show in your area.
3. Join Chad, Chuck, and Mad Dog in service at a food bank or soup kitchen in select cities. Volunteering allows local organizations to direct more finanacial resources toward the hungry people really who need them.Read More
