Operation: Tunes

09/14/06
. (PR) The most popular entertainment item asked for by the military personnel who miss home is music. In an effort to bring the gift of music to U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan and to wounded soldiers back home, the Rock Ridge Music label has just launched an initiative called "Operation: Tunes." For this, the label is enlisting the help of some of their current business partners and organizations that can help place the music accordingly. Rock Ridge Music will be sharing music with all arms of the military via a number of military and civilian organizations, including: http://www.Give2thetroops.org and http://www.TreatAnySoldier.com (via care packages to specific groups and platoons overseas) http://SemperFiFund.org and Fort Sam Houston's Brooke Army Medical Center (http://www.bamc.amedd.army.mil/) (discs will be given to injured Marines and Army soldiers)

While this project is being spearheaded by Rock Ridge Music label principals Tom Derr, Jason Spiewak, and Chris Henderson (who is also guitarist for the multi-platinum band 3 Doors Down), they will be accomplishing this effort through the help of some of their current business partners, including: Alternative Distribution Alliance (ADA) * Astro - Dynamic Printing * Five.Bolt.Main * Stroke 9 * Sister Hazel - Anyone interested in joining the cause, whether to donate music or to help in distributing music to the troops, should contact Derr directly at [email protected].
