WHO: THE RESCUES will join Glen Phillips (ex-Toad the Wet Sprocket), Sara Bareilles, Maria Taylor, Paris Carney at The Troubadour tonight (August 12) for a benefit concert to raise funds for Kelly’s health care.
Comprised of four successful and critically acclaimed solo singer-songwriters in their own right, THE RESCUES--KYLER ENGLAND (vocals, acoustic guitar, ukulele, bass), GABRIEL MANN (vocals, Wurlitzer, piano, celeste), ADRIANNE GONZALEZ (vocals, acoustic guitar, percussion, bass) and ROB GILES (vocals, acoustic guitars, bass, drums)--have more than 15 albums, dozens of songwriting awards, and thousands of miles on the road between them.
Coming off their recent sold-out residency at the Hotel Café and a packed debut last week at LA’s famed Troubadour, THE RESCUES will launch their first-ever East Coast tour August 19 in Boston, MA with recording artist AM (on Filter Records) supporting. The two-week trek will hit New York City’s Canal Room on Friday, August 21.
Before heading out on an East Coast tour, the group will return to the Troubadour on August 12 for a special cause. A longtime friend of the band, Kelly Buchanan--a New York-based singer/songwriter--suffered a traumatic brain injury during a street hockey game in March 2008. Three of the four members of THE RESCUES attended Berklee College of Music alongside Kelly Buchanan.
"We’ve known Kelly for a long time, and we’re thrilled for this opportunity to bring the L.A. music community together to celebrate the music of one of our own,“ notes singer/guitarist KYLER ENGLAND.
