Ear Candy joins Live Nation and The Fray to Support Music Education in the Valley

Phoenix, AZ – Arizona’s music charity, Ear Candy, continues its efforts to save music education by teaming up with Live Nation and The Fray.

Prior to the concert at Dodge Theatre on July 14th The Fray will treat students from Ear Candy’s music programs to an exclusive sound check and meet & greet opportunity. The kids will be invited to meet and ask questions then watch and listen as The Fray plays to their small audience and gears up for the night’s performance (7:00 PM – Tickets available at LiveNation.com).

Multi-platinum artist, The Fray are touring this summer to support their chart topping self-titled sophomore album. They are passionate about saving music education and are familiar and active within advocacy programs that do just that.

“With all the different types of entertainment available to young people today,” states Live Nation Chairman Danny Zelisko, “we are pleased to work with Ear Candy to keep the live music experience the most important, to those who want to play music.”

Nate Anderson, founder and president of Ear Candy, is ecstatic the organization is making another successful collaboration; its first of hopefully many with Live Nation.

“People need to know how truly important these opportunities are,” Anderson said. “These events with supportive artists like The Fray are essential to keeping kids amped about their passion for music despite program cuts. These experiences can have a truly life-long positive impact.”
