Announcing The Rock ‘n Renew Music Group
Jonny Lives! has been busy! With the release of the new album “Revolution For Free” we are excited to be back on the road this Winter, and look forward to touring the U.K and U.s in early 2012. We are also really excited to announce our signing with the newly formed Rock ‘n Renew Records, part of The Rock ‘n Renew Music Group.
“Connecting fans and musicians to a plan of action to heal the planet”
The Rock ‘n Renew Music Group is Rock ‘n Renew Records, Rock ‘n Renew Publishing (ASCAP), and Rock ‘n Renew Productions. The RnR Music Group aims to bolster the roster of artists in the Foundation’s artist network to further advance the mission of the Rock ‘n Renew Foundation with ever greater exposure. Rock ‘n Renew Records works to bring music fans the very best new music and some incredible rarities from a growing number of historic catalogues. Our partnerships with King Ferris/Bohemia Entertainment, Broken Halo Records and Long Lives Crime Records aim to broaden our audience and give the R’nR Music Group a diverse array of artists and genres to present. Rock ‘n Renew Productions works hand in hand with the Rock ‘n Renew Foundation’s non-profit activities by coordinating events and talent resources. In addition to our devotion to getting great music to fans while adhering to the principles of the Rock ‘n Renew Foundation, the R’nR Music Group was founded by Susan Ferris, Jonny Dubowsky, and Danny Madorsky to help many up and coming local and national bands with touring, publishing, film/TV music placement(headed up by Director;Brian Boland), corporate sponsorship, and other new-music industry opportunities.

Hanson Host 12-Hour Japan Benefit Live Stream at SXSW; R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe Stops By + Jonny D of Jonny Lives!
“Everyone here has chosen to not do something else to show up,” said Taylor Hanson of his band’s impromptu concert-telethon.
Rock band Hanson hosted a 12-hour live stream from South By Southwest to raise money for Japan. The band was headquartered in Austin’s Bubble Studios and invited fellow musicians to stop by and perform or be interviewed.
Among their guests: R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe, who told the several thousand web viewers streaming via Facebook or the SXSW4Japan site, “There’s no script, but what music and art offers is heart.”
Stipe made note of the countless musicians who’ve toured in Japan, and, looking directly into the livestream camera, conveyed to victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami disasters, “Our prayers and thoughts are with you. We love you and we’re here to help.”
Said Taylor Hanson of the more than 30 guests who stopped by, which included Ben Folds, Cary Brothers, Jonny Dubowsky of Jonny Lives!, Rain Phoenix, and North Mississippi Allstars: “Everyone on this show has chosen to not do something else to show up.”
The effort raised over $98,000.
“This is about creating a united effort powered by the amazing convergence of artists and resources at SXSW,” Taylor Hanson tells THR. “We came into Austin feeling overwhelmed with the tragedy in Japan, but realized there was a huge call to action here. The live stream’s success so far is credited to the artists who have come together to be the soundtrack to action.”
Update: Many of the songs from Hanson’s Japan webethon will be available as part of a digital compilation album, to be released soon. A full list of the artists who participated is below:
