MUSIC FOR RELIEF & LINKIN PARK INVOLVED IN NEW GREEN MUSIC GROUP

We are proud to announce that Linkin Park is a founding member of the newly formed Green Music Group (GMG). Music For Relief has been named one of GMG’s non-profit partners.

The Green Music Group, a coalition of environmental non-profit Reverb, celebrated its official launch this past weekend in Hollywood, CA. The high-profile coalition brings together musicians, industry leaders and music fans to create widespread environmental change within the music industry and around the globe.

Other partners of the Green Music Group include Dave Matthews Band, Maroon 5, The Roots, Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Barenaked Ladies, Guster, Warner Music Group, Brushfire Records, Shoreline Amphitheater, Comcast Center, Verizon Wireless Music Center, Wolftrap National Park for the Performing Arts, Brooklyn Bowl, and American Airlines Arena.

“Tonight we celebrated a watershed moment – music industry leaders and fans coming together to create significant change. Reverb has been helping individual artists and venues green their tours and shows for the last six years. We wanted to do more – our founding artists, venues and labels wanted to do more, and our fans were calling on us to take the lead,” said Guster guitarist/vocalist Adam Gardner, who founded Reverb with his wife, environmentalist Lauren Sullivan. “Green Music Group answers that call by using the collective power of the music community to bring about real lasting environmental change.”

Green Music Group will create and implement industry-wide green guidelines and standards while providing a dynamic online community where fans can take action and learn more about environmental issues.
