DREAM THEATER - Former Vocalist Donating CD Proceeds To Victims Of Hurricane Katrina |
|
|
DREAM THEATER singer Charlie Dominici has announced that he will be donating
part of the proceeds from the sale of his recently released solo CD, "03
A Trilogy Part One", to relief aid organizations to help the victims of
the Hurricane Katrina. A statement posted on Dominici's official web site
reads as follows:
"In the wake of the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina, I, like most of you, feel a need to help in some way. What I would like to offer is this. Buy my CD now and 'till the end of September and I will autograph your copy with a 'personal' message to you. I will also pay for shipping. $10 from each sale will go to the relief aid orginizations (Red Cross and Salvation Army) to help the victims of the hurricane. "USA orders are $20 each and overseas orders are $25. Since I own my own record company I can pretty much break even with this pricing structure and you guys get a cool deal while we all are doing something together to make a difference!" Regarding the musical direction of his new solo CD, Dominici had the following to say in a recent press release: "If you are expecting this to be another DREAM THEATER CD or heavy metal sounding, then you will miss the point. Although it is not a folk album, it is not heavy metal either. It is simply a concept album which is played on an acoustic guitar and sung solo with no other instruments outside of an occasional harmonica. If DREAM THEATER fans will listen to this CD with an open mind, they will be able to appreciate the music and the story much more than if they listen to it looking for something else that they are expecting to hear. If they don't, I think they will be missing out on something they might have found interesting and entertaining."
