  • Invisible Children and the Frendly Gathering teamed up at the 2014 festival to bring you the Ridge Top Series, featuring Shakey Graves.
    The release of this exclusive video was to support Invisible Children’s 2014 Musician Coalition, an army of passionate artists, brands, and partners who believe that no child should live in fear. It is a community that has committed to owning the responsibility of protecting those who cannot protect themselves. Using their time, talent, or money, the members are investing in an emergency communication network that is radically transforming lives in central Africa.
    Invisible Children continues to use FM, HF, and Short Wave radio to connects remote communities to one another and give LRA members the opportunity to surrender safely. With your donation, we can expand our coverage to more communities, and invest fully in the future of the region. 79% of LRA members who defect cite these revolutionary programs as the primary reason for their escape.
    If you are inspired to continue this life-saving work through the power of music and radio, donate at invisiblechildren.com/donate/. And as always, thank you.

      Danielle Seems to me you need to be spending a decent amount of time diving into the web and learn about him, (unless, of course you already have, seeing as your comment posted 5 months ago when the earth was still relatively normal). Dive into TH-cam, search his records out. If you know where to look and who to talk to, you’ll fare just fine.
