Hello everyone! We've missed you. I (Dane) spent a real big chunk of my summer playing drums with an artist named Grayson Kessenich and also attending weddings up and down California.

Concert 4 Courage this Saturday!
Concert 4 Courage will feature local bands The Reel, Method Echo, The Music Room and Crimson Sky. Other performances will include music by Megan and Ryan (Erin District), Cyndi Maslov, Ali K, Blue Onion Sextet, and Jaxx.
In addition, there will be BBQ, refreshments, and a bounce house for children.
The proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to Courage to Be You, Inc. (C2BU), a non-profit
organization that is building Courage Houses - homes for minors rescued out of sex trafficking.
Of the 200 girls rescued in the Sacramento area, nearly all of them have no home, no family, and no services to support them. These young female victims are either returned to group homes, from where they will run back into the arms of the men who use them for profit; or they are placed in Juvenile Hall, where they are safe, but incarcerated. Children are being sold for sex
in every city in every country around the world. The vision and passion of C2BU is to open Courage Houses so that recovered victims will have a safe place to belong and are able to begin the journey of restoration and transformation.

Cost of Believing
Hi guys and gals,
We wanted to share this song with you. Many of you may not have heard this track because it was one that we've donated to a compilation CD titled "Believe in Me." This song, and the compilation CD in its entirety, generates profits that go directly to the cause of building rehabilitation homes for girls rescued out of sex-trafficking. Go buy the song on iTunes and take up the fight against this modern day slavery.
Peace and Love,
The Music Room

News Update!
Though we haven't been playing many concerts since December, the spring time is beginning to pick up with some gigs, interviews, appearances and overall goodness.
Below is a tidy list of important dates in the life of The Music Room and a brief description of why we're thinking they're important:)
-----------------------------------------------------
February 13: Courage To Be You Concert in Natomas, CA.
We've had the privilege of partnering our music with a non-profit called Courage to Be You at a number of benefit concerts that they put on for the purpose of raising awareness and funds to stop, fight, and prevent sex-trafficking in the U.S. They produced our song "Cost of Believing" which is available for download on iTunes now! Just click "here" to download it.
February 16: Auburn Community TV Interview.
To be completely honest, I don't know exactly what this interview or show will entail. We're going to be interviewed by Radio and TV show host Renee Berg about our music and our involvement in Courage to Be You. We'll let you know what happens:) Last time I (Dane) was on TV it was when I was four years old and I didn't quite have the "it" swagger to push me towards any form of celebrity. It's time to redeem my 15 minutes of fame. Yay for community television!
February 18: Courage to Be You Concert in Auburn, CA.
February 25: Courage to Be You Concert in Stockton, CA.
March 2: Courage to Be You Concert in Redding, CA.
March 5: EP Release Show at Origin Coffee & Tea, Rocklin, CA.
This night is incredibly special for three reasons:
1) We'll be sharing the night with our good friend and incredible singer/songwriter Grayson Kessenich.
2) We're playing at this brand new volunteer-driven, coffee-and-tea-serving, human-trafficking halting, awareness-raising non-profit who gives all their income towards the efforts of eradicating sex-trafficking from the face of the planet. Now that's worth so much more than a latte!
3) We'll be making our brand new EP "Live While You're Alive" available for purchase, of which a percentage of each sale will be donated directly to Origin's mission. BAM! We hope to see you there:)
March 17: Concert at Bayside Cafe, Granite Bay, CA.
We'll be performing in an intimate, coffee shop style atmosphere where Q&A time is always welcome. If you fail to ask any questions, we'll ask ourselves questions from a prefabricated list of interesting questions for bands from interestingquestionsforbands.com.
March 25: Live in KDVS Studios, Davis, CA.
We've been getting some radio play down in Davis since we released our first album "Lesser Loves." Now we're going into the studio to perform an acoustic set live on the air with host Adam Thompson. We'll post up the streaming audio from the broadcast if you miss it live.
-----------------------------------------------
That's enough for now. If you're interested in more specifics about any of the Courage to Be You events, click here.
Last, but certainly not least, we'll have the new EP up on iTunes any day now. Friend us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter (links provided on right hand side of screen) to be informed when this happens.
Much love and much peace,

Live While You're Alive...EP
We are so very excited to announce the release of our new EP "Live While You're Alive" this month!
After living with these five songs for the last year, and playing them all over the place, we deemed them worthy of recording.
The EP was recorded and produced by Brian Steckler up at his studio in Meadow Vista, CA. His musical insight and years of experience did these songs well and we're thrilled at how the message and intention of each song was captured on these tracks.
You can take a listen to a song or two from the EP by clicking here.
If you want to order the EP and have it shipped to your house, you can find it at our online store by clicking the image below:
Thanks for supporting our music and our mission.
Life is beautiful,
The Music Room
