Another in Road Recovery’s celebratory events honoring its 15 years helping thousands of at-risk teens and young adults battling addiction and other crises by harnessing the influence of entertainment industry professionals who have dealt with similar hard knocks.

Now Bowen can hop off his bike at another location, The Cutting Room, where you can join him for an evening of great music performed by some of today’s most exciting and critically acclaimed pop-rock singer/songwriters.

Doors: 6:00 PM

WHERE:
The Cutting Room
44 East 32nd Street (near Park Ave)

WHOA:
Talk about innovation! Road Recovery has figured out a way to bring two unlikely characters together, the music biz and the medical world, because every kid on that stage is not just having fun and making amazing music (not to mention connecting with rock-stars); they’re also working their “program” with expert medical supervision (Road Recovery is not a mental health/medical treatment provider, it’s a critical component to each participants treatment team). Not only does Road Recovery work in tandem with treatment professionals, but this work is an integral part of the program. This isn’t ONLY jammin’ for fun…this is a gig with a mission!
TICKETS:
General Admission: $60.00
VIP Seating Tickets: $150.00

THE FACTS:
Road Recovery– www.roadrecovery.org Road Recovery is a New York-based non-profit 501(c)3 organization Road Recovery founded in 1998 through the support of Sony Entertainment and Dreamworks Records, substance abuse and mental health specialists, and entertainment industry professionals who have confronted similar crises and wish to share their life experiences with at-risk teens through the dynamic process of creating, planning and executing their own live concert events and recording projects. Road Recovery has received generous time and support from a wide-range of people including Ozzy & Sharon Osbourne, Tony Bennett, Iggy Pop, KISS, Eric Clapton, James Hetfield (Metallica), Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Peter Frampton, John Varvatos, Joe Walsh (Eagles), Alice in Chains, Trey Anastasio (Phish), among others.
Rufus Wainwright –http://www.rufuswainwright.com According to Billboard, “musically, Wainwright had been exploring various, if less pop-focused, avenues, ranging from his 2007 Grammy Award-nominated Judy Garland tribute to his first opera, 2009’s ‘Prima Donna’, as well as 2010’s darker, solo piano effort, ‘All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu’…Wainwright enjoyed critical and moderate commercial success with ‘Want One’ in 2003, the following year’s ‘Want Two’ and 2007’s ‘Release the Stars’. His newest album title, ‘Out of the Game’, may suggest the singer is anything but missing in action. Indeed, he’s ready to step back in with one of his most accessible collections of pop music in years (on Decca).”
Diane Birch –http://www.dianebirch.com Diane Birch recently released her first new album in four years ‘Speak A Little Louder‘ which follows the pianist/singer/songwriter’s extraordinary 2009 debut, ‘Bible Belt,’ which opened in the Billboard Top 100 and prompted comparisons to Laura Nyro and Karen Carpenter along with glowing reviews from The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, and more. Birch, who had worked primarily as a songwriter prior to signing with S-Curve Records, honed her skills as a performer on the road supporting the album, sharing the stage with everyone from Stevie Wonder to Betty Wright and appearing on The Today Show, Letterman, Leno, Conan, Kimmel, and Ellen along the way.
Simon Kirke – Simon Kirke formed a new group called Free with Paul Rodgers and Any Fraser. Over the next five years, this remarkable group released several albums and singles, the most famous one being “Allright Now.” Even though they were relatively young as a group, Free left a musical legacy which lasts to this day. In 1973, Rodgers and Kirke disbanded Free and formed Bad Company. Five of six albums Bad Company released with Rodgers are multi-platinum or gold including hit singles “Can’t Get Enough” “Moving On“, “Feel Like Making Love” and “Rock and Roll Fantasy“. With combined success of Free and Bad Company, you can turn on any rock station in the world and you are likely to hear Kirke drumming. Simon Kirke is a dedicated member of Road Recovery’s Board of Directors and continuously mentors young people in the non-profit’s Trax programs in NYC.
Ronald Guttman(emcee) – Ronald Guttman is a Belgian actor, theatrical producer, and film producer. Guttman’s performances include a production of The Fifth Column, a play by Ernest Hemingway, and movies such as The Tollbooth, 27 Dresses, The Guru, August Rush and The Hunt for Red October. Mr. Guttman is a long-time, active supporter of Road Recovery and its Trax programs helping youth battling addiction and/or other adversities.
