Operation Homefront offers programs in the areas of emergency services, educational services, and morale programs. Our goal is to make a difference in the quality of life for our military families, and our programs were developed based on our extensive research into the needs of military families as well as our own experience as active duty families. Operation Homefront has been sensitive to integrate programs alongside those being offered by other agencies, and we strive to achieve the largest impact with the least amount of expended resources. We continuously monitor our programs, liaison with other relief agencies, and measure our success in affecting the quality of life of military families.
Operation Homefront provides emergency assistance and morale to our troops, to the families they leave behind, and to wounded warriors when they return home. This event is to help raise awareness and funds for Operation Homefront. After the Holidays Operation Homefront's resources are depleted and the need to help Military families is ever present. Operation Homefront - Tennessee & Fort Campbell, KY chapter. A 501C3 non-profit organization.
RCA recording Artists Baillie And The Boys and International Acoustic Group of the Year, Herrick have been slated as performers for this 2009 Operation Homefront Benefit.
Though Baillie and The Boys are originally from New Jersey, Kathy Baillie and Michael Bonagura met in Delaware through a friend who gave Bonagura a tape that featured Baillie's vocals. Fans of artists like the Four Tops, the Beatles, the Supremes, Linda Ronstadt, and James Taylor, they developed a strong harmony - both on stage and off: They were married in 1977. Bonagura's buddy, bass player Alan LeBoeuf, joined up, and after a number of years on the Garden State's nightclub circuit, yet another friend - a driver with Allied Van Lines - persuaded them to join him on a trip to Nashville. They stayed in Music City, and in 1982 they got their first chance to appear on a record, singing backup on Ed Bruce's "My First Taste of Texas." Bonagura co-wrote Marie Osmond's single "There's No Stopping Your Heart," and the trio sang backing vocals on a number of singles for Dan Seals and Randy Travis. Ultimately, they signed with RCA Records, making their debut in 1987.
Herrick is a group with a unique blend of country, rock and indie spirit that has built a big buzz on Music Row with their tight harmonies and well-crafted songs. With their song "Cry Memphis' recently garnering them the International Acoustic Music Award for Group of the Year and Star music Awards Group of the year, Herrick is blazing a new trail in the Nashville arena. In pulling together tracks for their upcoming album, they have been working with top producers like Buddy Cannon (Kenny Chesney) as well as top musicians in both Nashville and Los Angeles while recording tracks for the album.
Herrick's intricate harmonies, heartfelt lyrics and distinctive sound combining the best of country, rock and blues allows them to stand out in any crowd. The group is formed by lead singer/mandolin player Donna and brothers Kerry (bass) and Kevin (guitar) Herrick. The Herrick brothers began as a duo, singing gospel music around their hometown of Spokane Washington. A few years later, Donna joined the group and they began to write their own music. Their never-ending energy and strong work ethic has led Herrick to playing rodeos, festivals and clubs all over the Northwest and performing with acts like Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, George Jones, Emmylou Harris, Sam Bush, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and more.
The group is currently in the studio working on their new album and getting ready to embark on a heavy touring schedule across the United States. For more information on the band's music and tour dates, please visit HERRICKLIVE.COM or myspace.com/HERRICKLIVE
