The album compilation 'Raise Your Voice' is a cross-section of America. It includes young artists standing up for what they believe. From Morro Bay, California to a music class in New York City, these students all share similar motivations in their songs. On the day of the album's release Amalia will perform live, she'll perform her song Renegades along with four other artists at San Francisco's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival on Oct. 7th at 3 pm.
Raise Your Voice features a wide range of students who want to share their music at such a critical moment in our country. The 11-track album, due Oct. 5 through the nonprofit Little Village Foundation, features new songs and spoken-word pieces composed and performed by the students of the high school that was the site of a deadly mass shooting in February that left 17 students and teachers dead.
Proceeds from the album recorded in response to that shooting and other deadly assaults at schools across the nation will be donated to the nonprofit Everytown for Gun Safety organization.
