Ben Warren honors soldiers in Iraq with ongoing music project

BEN WARREN, NYC MUSICIAN, RECORDS SONGS ABOUT SOLDIERS WHO HAVE FALLEN IN IRAQ.

Every two weeks, starting October 2, 2007, Warren will compose a song from information provided by the friends and families of the soldiers. Warren will record a song every two weeks from varying regions of the United States, starting with the Midwest. He will also record a song about active soldiers and also one about a veteran of war.
Warren wants to give a voice to our fallen soldiers in a way that will bring long-term awareness to the overall effects of war. He feels the ones who have sacrificed for our country need a vehicle to share their experiences and should be focused on.
"As our politicians argue over the best way to (effectively) end this war and bring our troops home, I wanted to focus on the toll the war has taken on our soldiers and their families." Warren said when asked to comment on the political nature of the project.
The Midwest song will be released on October 2, 2007. The South region song will be released on October 16, 2007. The active soldiers song will be released on October 30, 2007. The veteran's song will be released two days after Veterans Day on November 13, 2007. The West coast song will be released on November 27, 2007. The East coast song will be released on December 11, 2007. The final song, in remembrance of the families during the Holidays will be released on December 25, 2007. Besides radio airplay, all songs will be released on Ben Warren's blog at www.benwarrenmusic.com
