Amanda Cunningham’s EP Release and Benefit to Support Warrior Music Foundation

By Kimberly Shires

Check out Amanda Cunningham’s benefit and EP release show on October 17, 2021, at Crooked Run Brewery in Sterling, VA.

Amanda Cunningham’s debut EP “From the Chair” is just around the corner. Come out to party and help raise money for the Warrior Music Foundation‘s mission to serve active-duty military, veterans, and their families by providing a venue for learning, healing, and camaraderie through free music therapy and music lessons. All ticket sales go straight to Warrior Music Foundation.

“From the Chair” takes the listener through a journey of Amanda’s own therapy and self-improvement. The record is full of past reconciliations and self-acceptance, digging into the trenches of often-downplayed mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Amanda offers up her take during National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month. Listen to her on Spotify here.

Amanda will be supported by the amazingly talented Courtney King. Courtney is the epitome of fusion, combining rock, punk, and blues merging with classical, avant-garde, and progressive rock – topped off with some flute bad-assery.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
