Rock the Earth's First Benefit Show Rocks San Francisco

After an inspirational semi-annual retreat in the heart of San Francisco, our volunteer staff joined together at the Connecticut Yankee to host our first benefit show for Rock the Earth. It was an exciting collaboration of artists, with Matt Butler's Jambay Trio, joining musical forces with the Geo Trio, David Gans, Randy Berge and Hali Hammer for some mind-blowing music to Rock the Earth! After an introduction by the men behind it all, Tim Lynch and RtE Executive Director, Marc Ross, we enjoyed some inspirational acoustic music by Randy & Hali. Following Randi and Hali, Jambay Trio took the stage. With Matt Butler on percussion and didgeridoo, Chris Hauger on electric guitar and Mike Sugar on bass, this trio had the crowd rockin'. The acoustic styling of David Gans, along with the Jambay trio, was a remarkable combination of musical inspiration. To follow this with the energy and talent of the Geo Trio, featuring Kai Eckhardt, Alan Hertz and Eric Levy of Garaj Mahal, was more than enough to keep everyone on their feet. The smiles on everyone's faces proved that this show was a masterpiece beyond anyone's expectations!

Not only was there incredible music rockin' the crowd at the Connecticut Yankee but, thanks to the generosity of several eco-friendly businesses and many supportive artists, we also had an amazing display of raffle and auction items that included signed posters, eco-friendly products and even original artwork by Michael Everett! The auction raised over $600 thanks to these kind folks!

Thanks to the support of the Bay Area artists, members and music fans, Rock the Earth's first benefit show raised over $1,500! It was an incredibly successful, fun and memorable event that not only raised money for RtE, but raised the spirits and energy of everyone involved in this organization! We cannot thank you all enough for your support! Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to Fritz Frisbee, Tim Lynch, the Jambay Trio, the Geo Trio, David Gans, Randy Berge, Hali Hammer, Michael Everett, Ryan Kerrigan, Howard Krouk, Living Tree Paper Co., Lisa Brown, Two Jupiters, Indigenous Designs, To-Go-Ware, Pangea Organics, Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, Guayaki Yerba Mate, Endangered Species Chocolate, Naked Clothing, and all of the Rock the Earth Volunteer Staff!

Rockin' the Planet in the Circle of Life

Rock the Earth was thrilled to participate in the 2nd annual We the Planet Festival of Music, Consciousness and Activism, presented by Julia "Butterfly" Hill's non-profit organization Circle of Life and produced by the Spitfire Agency. This zero-waste event brought together environmental organizations, eco-friendly businesses, artists and activists for a powerful illustration of the spirit, vision and ambition of the environmental movement. With music by The Roots, Michelle Shocked, Third Eye Blind, Mickey Hart and Joan Baez, spoken word by Woody Harrelson, scrumptious vegan fare, compostable dinnerware, and organizations raising awareness about ethical business practices as well as social, environmental and civil justice around the world, this event raised the bar for environmental responsibility. This was an inspiring opportunity for Rock the Earth to join forces with other individuals and organizations doing what they can to protect our planet! We met some incredible people, signed up a few new members and connected with organizations and individuals that believe together we have the power to Rock the Earth!
