Speakeasy Tiger closed out 2009 with an amazing Keep A Breast Music For Awareness show in Denver, Colorado. As a fan of theirs, I was super stoked to have them approach KAB to do an event to benefit the cause and educate their community and peers. They successfully raised $720 for the organization and created one of a kind pieces of art to help raise funds. The band will also be on the Vans Warped Tour this summer, so be sure to check them out! I have included some words from Kyle, the lead singer for the band below.

I am so thankful for such inspiring young people that truly want to make a difference in the health and well being of others.

“The show was a wonderful experience. We created a really intimate setting for everyone to really take focus on why we were throwing the event. I am proud to say we reached our goal for KAB with the help of our dear friend Rachel Yarbrough, who created custom canvas pieces with the silhouette of a woman with lyrics from one of our songs “I can feel it in my chest”. We sold each one with the hope that everyone would walk away with a much deeper awareness on the truth’s of Breast Cancer. Making KAB apart of our music was especially important to me because my mother was diagnosed with cancer when I was 10. Watching Breast Cancer affect the ones you love from a personal level shows how dangerous it can be and how easily it can be prevented if you check yourself and stay in tune with your body. Our great friend Alicia Garrison went through a step by step process on how to check yourself for our audience to see. Not only were we engaged but everyone who attended was wonderfully receptive to the information being shared. I am so hopeful when I see programs like KAB available to young artists like ourselves. With influence comes great responsibility and we are so happy to have the ability to share with others through our music. I am excited for the future and excited to promote good health for all of us! Thank you so much to a great show!” Kyle Simmons of Speakeasy Tiger
