#MusicIsHealing Musicians contribute to Orlando Victims

There are many avenues to show love, commitment and support for the victims of Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. One of those ways is through the gift of song and music. These artists have put forth music to which all proceeds from will benefit the victims and their families in Orlando.

Broadway sings for Orlando, Over 60 stars raised their voices for “Broadway for Orlando,” a cover of Burt Bacharach and Hal David’s “What the World Needs Now is Love.” Sara Bareilles, Carole King, Nathan Lane, Audra McDonald, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Sarah Jessica Parker and dozens more sing on the track and are featured in the accompanying music video produced and recorded by Playbill and our video producer Mark Ezovski. Get the song here http://www.broadwayrecords.com/broadway-for-orlando or on iTunes!

Ronnie Dunn of the country duo Brooks & Dunn will be donating every penny from their song “Holy War.” A song that was written after 9/11 in to address the war on perceived wrong doers, such as gay persons.  You can listen here or buy it on iTunes.

Last Sunday, Little Big Town, dedicated their new song ‘Miracle’ on country music’s largest stage at the CMA Music Festival. This is just one of the many ways music and those with a voice of influence have ackwnowledged and are participating in the cause. The Tony Awards brought respect to the victims in their show, and artists far and wide via social media:

Last night – in celebration of pride- a group of people – people like you or me or your neighbors or family were dancing & listening to music & celebrating life, just like you or me or your neighbors would. And then, one man and one gun took that life away from them. That’s cruel. And it’s exactly against what America stands for. I try to make music that hopefully brings joy to people and makes people dance and makes people feel and makes people LOVE… Because there’s nothing more pure and beautiful than that act- and the fact that that resulted in the largest mass shooting in American history leaves me heartbroken. I used to LIVE there. I hope we can wake up and realize we are ALL THE SAME. Just humans. One species. Just wanting to be LOVED. #PrayForOrlando #MoreLoveLessHate
