OP Music House unites local bands to play in globally broadcast concert, Exposing domestic violence
Domestic violence survivor turned advocate reaches out as a sign of hope to the abused in a two-day concert event in Western New York. Entitled, "EXPOSURE Concert, Because Love Shouldn't Hurt," more than forty bands of various genres unite.
ORCHARD PARK, NY, April 17, 2010 /Performing Arts PR News/ -- The idea was announced in a Feburary, and the Facebook page was created. Now, with 1842 friendly supporters and Verizon as its first sponsor, the EXPOSURE Concert is making its way around the musical circuit.
Forty-two bands brought together by one strong voice to put forth the 'EXPOSURE Concert, Because Love Shouldn't Hurt.'
Music is the universal language, and Suzanne Perry speaks it fluently. She has been an avid fan all her life, from classic to alt rock, jazz to punk, alternative, to grunge to modern. Having endured 22 years of control and abuse, over the past 2.5 years, she has emerged from the ashes and figured out her new direction. Her love of music and the desire to help others who want to understand the 'how's and the 'why's of abuse in the home fuse together and OP Music House was founded.
The 2 day concert event will take place August 14 and 15th, 2010 at Club Paradise in Blasdell, New York. The venue is adjacent to McKinley's Hotel, where Perry encourages adults that may be consuming alcohol, to book a hotel room Saturday night, and enjoy day 2 of the concert without risking drinking and driving. Specialized wristbands will identify under age patrons as it is an all age affair with finger food, face painting, raffles, games and prizes.
The concert is a fundraiser whose proceeds will be used to secure a facility, and get a jump-start on operating costs and staff for the OP Music House, currently a work-in-progress.
ND Productions out of Tonawanda, NY was brought on board, and an interactive concert website 'ExposureConcert.com' will be active May 1, 2010. ND will record the event, mix and edit it down with concert-goers' photo and video uploads from the show, and then have it available for sale on DVD as a special rememberance of this first of its kind event.
The show is based on the theory that if abusers were exposed, they wouldn't do it. As an extra amplification, OP Music House and ND are streaming the show live around the world, to help everybody to expose abuse, and promote peace through music. The idea has already come up to make it an annual event.
