Sugarland and Emily Saliers Join Forces
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In other Sugarland news (Atlanta’s superstar country duo was mentioned in the previous post about tonight’s CMAs) Jennifer Nettles has launched Common Thread, an event described as “a celebration of Jennifer’s philosophy of balanced living through music, yoga, eco-consciousness and most importantly, giving back.”
“I’m hoping Common Thread will be a multi-genre diverse bill under the ‘common thread’ of activism and community organization,” Nettles (top photo) explains in the press release. “I do believe that one action can cause a ripple and make a difference. So, if you inspire some of your fans to go out into their own communities and effect change, then that’s success.”
The first dates will feature Sugarland, Emily Saliers (bottom photo) of Atlanta’s Indigo Girls and Amos Lee doing individual and group acoustic performances in the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek Nov. 20; Wheeler Opera House in Aspen Nov. 21; and the Santa Fe Armory for the Arts.
Tickets — on sale now — are $50-$150 with VIP tickets priced at $250 and $500. VIP ticket holders will be able to attend a silent auction champagne reception with the artists. That auction will feature one of a kind artist paintings, exclusive artist packages, Epiphone acoustic guitars signed by all 4 Artists, photographs, spa packages, exclusive resort stays, signed memorabilia and lifestyle packages. And all proceeds from the event and auction will be to each performing artists’ charity of choice.
Nettles’ proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society. Kristian Bush’s will go to the American Liver Foundation and Saliers’ benefit Honor the Earth.
Think this is something you would like to attend/support?
