Artist News: Great White Plays Benefit Concert For Canadian Baby Harp Seals

Posted on Sunday, January 14 @ 02:13:13 UTC by nightowl

Well, firstly, the band -- who I know aren't prog -- will not be playing for the seals actually, the audience will consist of humans, but their playing will benefit Canadian Baby Harp Seals. The concert is scheduled for January 27, 2007 at the Key Club in Hollywood, CA. Proceeds will be used to oppose the largest slaughter of marine mammals on the planet and to raise funds and awareness to end the horrific and bizarre annual massacre (order tickets for the benefit show: http://www.wantickets.com/.

This year in Canada over 335,000 defenseless Canadian baby seals were brutally clubbed or shot to death for their pelts, their bodies left on the ice to rot. Over 42% are horrifically skinned alive. The goal in planning a benefit concert is to first raise funds to help Harpseals.org continue their efforts to rescue the Baby Harp Seals in Canada.



Hosting the benefit concert will be Southern California Harpseals.org with many celebrity supporters and attendees expected. Confirmed music performances are Grammy nominated rock band Great White, Hot AC Breakthrough Artist of 2006 (NMW) Jak Paris with special guest Reba star Scarlett Pomers and NBC's Star Tomorrow Top 5 Finalist, Rock singer/songwriter of The Year (LAMA), Bob Gentry. A celebrity host and MC for the show will be announced soon and more performers will be added to the show lineup. There will also be a silent auction.

Last year Paul and Heather McCartney brought media attention and made international headlines after they visited the seals in Canada and spoke up on the Larry King show about this needless brutality. Help us support ?Save the Baby Harp Seals? by showing your support and attending this special event.

Show Time: 7:30 pm ? Midnight

The Key Club is located @ 9039 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069

Incidently, it will be the reunited original line up that will play this benefit concert.
