ROAD RECOVERY ESTABLISHES FIRST HONOREE
WAYNE KRAMER & FRIENDS TO PLAY SING SING
ROAD RECOVERY is proud to announce the establishment of ROAD RECOVERY HONORS, a new award given annually to an individual who shares its vision of giving back through action and service to those in need. This award affords its honoree the opportunity to select any U.S. organization he or she wishes to help, and together with ROAD RECOVERY, create and participate in an outreach event that positively impacts its constituents.
MC5s Wayne Kramer, the resilient guitarist, composer and producer, will receive the inaugural award at ROAD RECOVERYs benefit concert at the Nokia Times Square Theater on Friday evening, May 1, 8pm, and will, together with ROAD RECOVERY, produce a program at Sing Sing Prison on Saturday, May 2, in Ossining, New York.
The May 2nd Sing Sing event will include an interactive discussion between approximately 100 inmates and Kramer about his life before, during and after his own incarceration. The program will be followed by a full electric performance by Kramer and friends, including Billy Bragg, Perry Farrell (Janes Addiction), Etty Lau Farrell (Satellite Party), Tom Morello (Audioslave, Rage Against The Machine), Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains), Don Was (Was (Not Was)), Handsome Dick Manitoba (The Dictators), Gilby Clarke (Guns N' Roses), Boots Riley (The Coup), and others.
"On behalf of Sing Sing Correctional Facility, we are pleased to welcome the non-profit organization ROAD RECOVERY. We look forward to supporting ROAD RECOVERYs effort in honoring musician Wayne Kramer, whose dream is to give back to the inmates of Sing Sing Correctional Facility via a live concert and message of hope," says Sing Sing Correctional Facility's Executive Team.

April 8, 2009 -- New York, New York -- Punk rock pioneer and activist Wayne Kramer of MC5 fame will be honored in a fundraising performance event on Friday, May 1st at the Nokia Theater in Times Square. This special event carries a low ticket price of $25, and will feature a variety of special guests including The Nightwatchman Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine), Alice In Chains' Jerry Cantrell, singer Billy Bragg, Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction) with Etty Farrell (Satellite Party), Dictators' Handsome Dick Manitoba, Gilby Clarke (Guns 'n' Roses) and more. The night's emcee is Matt Pinfield.
Performing songs together and individually from their respective catalogs, as well as collaborating on MC5 songs and anything else that strikes their fancy, this is sure to be an exciting evening of high-energy rock and roll. "It's going to be just loose enough musically that anything might happen," jokes Kramer. "The only thing you'll need in order to be in the audience is an open mind... and maybe a set of ear plugs."
One hundred percent (100%) of the money raised on May 1st will go directly to support the treatment of children and young adults who suffer from adversities such as addiction, physical and sexual abuse and chronic illness.
The resilient, irreverent, rapier witted, amplifier burning Wayne Kramer is in full effect today and relevant, this time at peace with himself, at least most of the time. I lost everything to addiction. I also forfeited my freedom to it, Kramer says. "I'm at ease in the knowledge that my darkest days are now treasured gifts to share with others who travel down the same road."
