New York, NY (Top40 Charts) In the spirit of the season, Rock By The Sea combines goodwill and holiday cheer by producing their fifth annual Christmas record. A Florida-based non-profit, Rock By The Sea produces music events and products in hopes of inspiring fans to raise money for philanthropic causes, specifically in support of pediatric cancer research and treatment. Over the past eight years, Rock By The Sea has donated almost $350,000 to the cause. With the release of their new holiday CD, the organization hopes to contribute even more.
"A Rock By The Sea Christmas :: Volume Five is full of generosity from some of our favorite artists," says Beth Gosnell, the charity's President. "We are so grateful for the contributions of these artists and thrilled to be able to present them to you for this Christmas."
This year's album includes a range of artists such as NBC's "
The Voice" finalist, Tony Lucca, American
Music Award Winners, Carbon Leaf, Georgia Country's Teen Artist of the Year, Jordan Grassi, The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival's "Most
Wanted Emerging Artist", Eliot Bronson, and newcomers, The Georgia Flood, among others. A Rock By The Sea Christmas :: Volume Five includes a mixture of traditional Christmas favorites, as well as original holiday songs unique to the record. Among the beneficiaries is Camp Sunshine, an Atlanta, Ga-based foundation that provides support for children with cancer and their families through recreational and educational programs.
"It's an absolute treat to be included alongside these great artists in supporting Rock By The Sea's efforts to raise money and awareness for some of the most deserving charities at work today," says Tony Lucca. "The added Holiday element of this compilation makes it all the more emotional for me, personally."
A Rock By The Sea Christmas :: Volume Five is available now through the charity's website at www.RockByTheSea.org as well as digital music stores including iTunes, Amazon.com and Google Play.
