The Eco-Lectric Tour 2009
"Raise The Volume To Lower The CO2"

Eco-friendly National Tour Combines Music With Activism

August 9, 2009; Los Angeles, CA - Long Live Crime and Broken Halo Records, CBS Records, and ATN Management are joining with Rock 'n Renew and 350.org to bring environmental awareness and music to 35 cities in 26 states this fall. The goal of the Eco-Lectric Tour 2009 is to entertain and educate audiences on our current climate crisis and efforts that individuals, families, students, and businesses can participate in that will greatly improve their communities and our global health.

Singer/songwriters Jonny Dubowsky, Shotgun Honeymoon and Wil Seabrook will travel nearly 10,000 miles on a tour bus using bio-degradable fuel, maintaining a carbon-neutral footprint through a partnership with True Offsets, and promoting the efforts of Rock 'n Renew and 350.org to reduce our carbon emissions from a dangerous nearly 390 parts per million to a healthier 350 parts per million through awareness and action.

"We are all excited about the tour and really looking forward to promoting and participating in 350.org's International Day of Climate Action on October 24th," said Jonny Dubowsky, founder of Rock 'n Renew and one of the touring musicians. "All we can say right now is that we are planning a big show (or two) in New York, with a few surprise guests. We'll also be participating in the annual College Music Journal (CMJ) Music Marathon in New York, with a big showcase on October 24th."

Dubowsky further described Rock 'n Renew's participation in the tour by adding, "In addition to raising awareness and encouraging participation in 350.org's International Day of Climate Action, Rock 'n Renew will be assisting communities to create sustainable projects that improve their local environment. On this tour, we will install 350 rain barrels in the 35 cities where the Eco-Lectric Tour 2009 plays and teach volunteers in each community how to build quick and easy food gardens that use the rain water collected in these barrels as their primary source for irrigation."

Eco-Lectric Tour 2009 tour dates will be announced shortly. All information, as it becomes available, can be found at www.EcolectricTour.com.
