Hey everyone,
Hope everyone is doing well. I have information in regards to the upcoming show on November 29th at 9:00pm at The Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto and the shows taking place for the next six months after that.
As you've read, Avery Island is a local indie band who thinks of everyone in the grand scheme of things. All the members are always concerned to what's going on around them and they are committed to equality. Because of the tragic events involving homosexual teens being ridiculed and then considering and carrying of their own demise, this is a time where people must take a stand. Avery Island is taking their involvement within the music industry to the next level. The proceeds of the gate and the money fundraised at the gigs within the six month period will be donated to The Trevor Project and GLSEN. These foundations were brought up previously in the blog before this. For those who haven't caught that particular blog, here are the links for both organizations.
THE TREVOR PROJECT: http://www.thetrevorproject.org
GLSEN: http://www.glsen.org
The band wants to generate support and awareness for these two important organizations. The band, the crew, and I would like to ask for your support by spreading the word to your friends, family, and anyone else about these shows. Be it on Facebook, Twitter, any other social networking site, or simply by word of mouth; every little bit counts. Also, to show your support at these shows, we ask you to wear purple to show your solidarity and the reinforcement each of you holds within you. By doing this, we make a statement by our presence, our words, and our song.
We thank all of you in advance and we can't wait to see you all at the upcoming shows. They are going to be beyond stellar and AI will be sure to rock those socks right off your feet.
:) <3
Take care!
