NH’S COUNTRY STAR BRANDON LEPERE HOLDS AMERICAN RED CROSS SONG DRIVE

Star to Donate 50% of Proceeds from Downloaded Music Beginning with June 30 performance at New Hampshire Fisher Cats Game

Manchester, NH – Country music star Brandon Lepere will host a one-of-a-kind American Red Cross Song Drive beginning at his Sunday, June 30 performance of "God Bless America," during the Manchester Fisher Cats home game against the Portland Sea Dogs. Lepere will encourage fans to download songs from his newest CD, The Road, and for the week following his Manchester performance, half of all proceeds from the sale of his music will go to the American Red Cross.

"I’m very excited to be able to sing at the June 30 Manchester Fisher Cats game when they play the Portland Sea Dogs," says Lepere. "Even better than throwing out the first pitch of the game with my sons is the chance to donate proceeds to the American Red Cross through the download of my songs. We're donating 50% of all of the proceeds we make by the sale of my music during the game to help the American Red Cross help all those who are suffering from the devastation in Oklahoma, and all over the country, in house fires, floods, wherever there is need, the American Red Cross is there," he adds.

The Manchester Fisher Cats are the "AA" baseball team for the Toronto Blue Jays, and the Portland Sea Dogs are the "AA" Red Sox Team. The game at the Northeast Delta Dental Stadium in Manchester, with a capacity for approximately 7,000 fans, is expected to draw a large crowd.

Brandon Lepere has performed in almost 1000 live shows to date, including opening for Keith Urban, Eddie Money, and Hootie and the Blowfish. While continuously performing in venues of all sizes and releasing his own CDs, Brandon has earned respect in Nashville as a songwriter, collaborating with The Voice finalist Casey Weston for her debut album, among many others.

"The devastation in Oklahoma is so hard to fathom, and the American Red Cross is always there for all of us, ready to assist," Lepere says. "They hold blood drives to help people, so I’m hoping the song drive will provide some much needed assistance, too."

Lepere concludes, "I'm so happy to help in any way I can, and the best way I know how is through music."
