<div class="MsoNormal">
May 4, 2018 – Providence, RI – The Hands That Rock (HTR),
a non-profit organization providing
massage therapy at music festivals and special events to raise money for underserved
community music programs nationally, is pleased to announce the first annual
Hands That Rock Tribute Band Festival, an event that will focus on raising
needed funds to support music scholarships for Narragansett and South Kingstown
High School students. The event takes place on Saturday, September 15, 2018 at
3:00 PM at the Bonnet Shores Beach Club in Narragansett, Rhode Island and features
tribute performances by Total Access (Chicago), Merchants of Cool (Foreigner)
and Barefoot Rebel (Lynyrd Skynyrd). This flagship production will become the
model for future events to be produced by HTR by local residents in all 50 states.</div>

“We are
very excited to be hosting this important program supporting music scholarships
in our home state of Rhode Island,” says Darcy Lynch, executive director. “Since
inception in 2012, we have raised tens of thousands of dollars for underserved
music programs through providing chair massage services for audiences at major
concerts and festivals featuring superstar acts such as Bon Jovi and Katie
Perry, to name a few. Needed dollars were donated to music programs in need
local to each concert venue or to national child-oriented organizations. While
this avenue of endeavor has been very successful for our mission, we wanted to
create an event model that focuses on local school districts and music education
programs that can be easily repeated in towns and cities across America. Our
Tribute Band Festival is that vehicle and we believe this will be very
successful.”</div>

“Each tribute band will deliver stunning performances of the
three 1970’s era music giants,” continues Lynch. “We are looking for additional
business support for our efforts through raffle donations and sponsorships. The
excitement is growing for this event, so interested parties can contact me

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">In the words of should be "Sir" Ian Hunter, if you have stumbled upon this Stagehands Massage Blog, "Ello, ello, ello.". Each month I will post 10 tunes, new or old that I think are worth a listen. We will start off with the amazing Mr. Hunter.<u></u><u></u></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ian Hunter is best known for leading the glam rock band, Mott the Hoopie, in the 1970's, and having a hit on one of David Bowie's best songs, All the Young Dudes. This song with it's immortal closing remark of, "Hey, you with the glasses", is something I related to all to well as a 12-year old with big, black, Mad Men glasses with coke bottle lenses. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ian had a second career as a solo artist in the mid to late 70's thru the early 80's, partnering up with David Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson to put on a series of blistering live shows and writing songs that became hits for Great White (Once Bitten Twice Shy) and even Barry Manilow (Ships) along with the theme to the Drew Carey Show, Cleveland Rocks. <u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><u></u> </span><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">This creative period culminated with one of the best albums of the time, You're Never Alone With A Schizophrenic (something I know all too well thanks to family history on my father's side, thank you very much. My mother figured this out one day when she was driving in the car with my father and he started muttering to himself and she said "Mowie, who are you talking to?". He then looked at her and said "They don't want you to know."<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">This post Mott period of the 70's was so strong that Ian's number one fan, Def Leppard lead singer Joe Elliott put together a fantastic tribute album called Joe Elliott's Down N Outz, My Regeneration where he sings Hunter tunes and other songs by post Mott the Hoople alumni from that era.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Once Mick Ronson left Ian Hunter, he went into a creative funk until re-emerging in 1995 with the solid Dirty Laundry and it's follow up Red Letter Days. Then in 2001, at the age of 62,he put out the spectacular Rant album, which has been followed by one amazing album after another culminating with this years release of one of his finest records, Fingers Crossed (at age 77!). What ever kind of deal with the Devil this guy has made is fine with me because what he is doing during his senior years is pretty much unparalleled in Rock and Roll history. <u></u><u></u></span></div>

<br />
Michelle has been involved in the pageantry arts for over 25 years. Originally from New Hartford, NY, Michelle currently lives in Woodstock, GA where she is a licensed Massage Therapist. Michelle began her performing career as a 7th grader in the New Hartford High School marching band. She went on to perform with the Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps from 1990-1994, a perennial DCI finalist during those years. And she was member of Independent World Class finalist Field of View from 1994-1995.
<br />
<br />
Michelle has been teaching, writing, and designing since 1992. Some of her teaching experience on the scholastic side includes: New Hartford HS 1992-1996, North Penn HS 1996-1998, Ridgewood HS 1999-2001, Randolph HS 1999-2001, Morris Knolls HS 1999-2001, Hicksville HS 1999-2001, Huntington HS 1999-2001, Lassiter HS 2002-present and McEachern HS 2014. At Lassiter HS, Michelle was the Director of the color guard program from 2002-2013. She was part of the team when the band won the BOA Grand National Championship in 2002.
<br />
<br />
Michelle has also worked with some independent groups such as: Field of View winter guard from 1996-1999, Salem Blue winter guard 2002-present, Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps 1995-2000, Magic of Orlando Drum and Bugle Corps 2001-2002, The Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps 2003-2008 and the Troopers Drum and Bugle Corps 2014. Michelle was part of the team at The Cadets when the corps won the DCI Championship in 2005. Michelle continues to share her knowledge, talents, and passion to an activity that has given so much to her and she is excited as an alumnus and former staff member to return to the Crossmen for 2016.<br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #cccccc;">My name is Darcy Lynch and I run a non profit, 501c3 charity called the Hands That Rock. The Hands that Rock's mission is to bring the magic of music to underpriviledged children worldwide. Our network of approximately 1,000 practitioners, provide chair massage at music festivals and special events. Patrons pay a small fee for this service, and a portion of the proceeds are donated to programs concerned with music education, performance, related resources and outreach for individuals and groups in need. Our fundraising efforts additionally address community initiatives associated with such outreach programs and groups to include environmental, social and health-related concerns to help create a suitable environment for the creation and performance of music.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />This GoFundMe campaign is to help offset the cost of restoring a Volkswagon Bus to be used as a mobile massage vehicle in which to setup on site at these festivals and events as a place to offer the massages. The restoration of the van has already begun and we are need of additional funds to complete the project. <br /><br />Any donation is appreciated and you will be giving the gift of music to children everywhere!<br /><br />You can read more about us at <a href="http://www.handsthatrock.org/" target="_blank">www.handsthatrock.org</a>. thank you!</span></span></div>

We at the Hands That Rock are passionate about many things, and we are fortunate enough to be able to support wonderful organizations whose causes include music education, cancer research, and environmental preservation. Below you will find a list of the organizations we have supported recently, but to find a complete list of charities that we fundraise for, or to donate, check out our <a href="http://www.handsthatrock.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10&Itemid=177" target="_blank">website</a>.<br />
