Country Music Stars Support for Hear the Music Live’s Guitar Auction to Benefit Foster Youth on eBay November 9-19













Gibson J200 Signed by Your Favorite Stars to be Auctioned on eBay November 9-19 2010


Danville, CA (Vocus) October 27, 2010

National non-profit organization, Hear the Music Live had a Gibson Guitar painted by famous Nashville artist, Mandy Lawson. Mandy has painted guitars for many of the top country music artists (e.g. Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, George Strait, and others). Several country artists have signed the Hear The Music Live guitar for the upcoming Guitar Auction including: Tim McGraw, The Judds, Lady Antebellum, Jake Owen, Rodney Atkins, Gloriana, Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus, Faith Hill, Rascal Flatts, Danny Gokey, Darryl Worley, Keith Urban, Katie Armiger, Kellie Pickler, Cowboy Troy, Mark Wills, John Rich, Pam Tillis, Chris Young, Brad Paisley, Jimmy Wayne and many more. Please visit Hear the Music Live to see pictures and video of your favorite stars showing their support for live music experiences for foster youth and teens!

The Hear the Music Live Guitar Auction will run from November 9-19, 2010 on eBay.com. The proceeds will be used to send pre-teens and teens that are currently in residential treatment foster care group homes to see live concert performances throughout the U.S.

Please view the new landing page on eBay to see more Guitar Auction and show your support for live music experiences for foster youth and teens!

Hear the Music Live’s primary focus is to reach out to pre-teens and teens in residential treatment foster care group homes to give them the opportunity to attend a concert in their local area (e.g. 90% of the children that Hear the Music Live sends to concerts have never been to a live concert). These children homes provide quality residential treatment programs for abused and neglected children and adolescents.

Here’s what one caseworker said after Hear the Music Live donated tickets for foster youth to attend a live concert in Portland, OR:

“As you probably know our kids in foster care normally do not attend this sort of thing and it is a big boost to their self-esteem to get to do so. In fact, they suffer from what I call a “poverty of experience” and being able to attend a concert of this magnitude greatly adds to their bank of experience.-Caseworker, Portland, OR”

Hear the Music Live was founded by Steven Nornhold in the summer of 2009. To date, Hear the Music Live has sent over 2000 pre-teens and teens in foster care to see live concerts and meet music performers throughout the U.S.

During 2009 and 2010, Hear the Music Live obtained substantial support from country music artists such as:

Providing Meet and Greet opportunities for the foster care pre-teens/teens at their concert events

Enabling VIP ticket buy opportunities so that Hear the Music Live may arrange chaperone and pre-teens/teens group seating arrangements at the concert events

Donation of VIP tickets

Recording of Hear the Music Live theme song (e.g. by Katie Armiger)

Country Radio Public Service Announcement (PSA) have been recorded by Katie Armiger, Jimmy Wayne, Gloriana and Rodney Atkins.

Author Shares Tips On Reaching Teens in Today’s Youth Culture

Category : Teen Gossip

(PRWEB) January 23, 2004

Rather than write a book from one adult to another, youthworker, speaker and author T. Suzanne Eller, went to the source. “I wanted to provide a book that bridged the gap between parents and teens. I often hear parents say they would give anything if their teen talked to them, and yet teens say they have something important to say to their parents.”

Suzanne asked tough questions, asking teens to talk openly about youth culture, about the challenges they face, why they don’t talk about them and what they would say if they could. She asked them to share the things that parents and adults did to push them away from their faith and what they actually needed and wanted to make it both in their faith and their world.

Teens opened up. Suzanne Eller says, “I’ve worked with teens for over 17 years. I have three children of my own, but hearing the heartbeat of teens gave me an insight I might have missed. Writing this book made me a better mom, a better youthworker because I’m better able to meet the real needs of teens.”

Teens say that things have changed dramatically, even in the past five years. They also say that parents are the greatest influence–positive or negative–in their life. They give five reasons they don’t talk about their world and what a parent can do to help them open up. Teens are saying that they are looking for acceptance and a safe place to land, and sometimes that is not found in the family or the church. They talk openly about sexual issues, spiritual choices, the traditional church, family and all that is important to them. Be prepared to enter the world of teens. It will surprise you, open your eyes, and prepare you to be your teen’s greatest ally as they navigate their way through their teen years.

T. Suzanne Eller’s book, “Real Issues, Real Teens – What Every Parent Needs To Know” (Cook -ISBN# 0781440580) will be released in June, 2004. Suzanne is a speaker to teens and parents of teens and the author of “Real Teens, Real Stories, Real Life”, as well as editor of Real Teens, Real Faith.

Teen Musician, Actress and Youth Ambassador Alexandra Rose Rieger Joins Dakota Fanning, Kyle & Chris Massey for the First Star Celebration

Category : Teen Music

Teen musician, actress and youth ambassador Alexandra Rose Rieger joins Dakota Fanning, Kyle and Chris Massey and other award-winning celebrities for the

The evening’s theme, “Come Be a Kid Again,” brings us back to the place of joy and wonderment that is childhood.

Many award-winning celebrities, musicians and actors attended the First Star Celebration for Children’s Rights event such as: Actress and Youth Ambassador and Teen Musician Alexandra Rose Rieger “Akeelah and the Bee,”, Dakota Fanning “Dr. Seuss’ Cat in the Hat,” Kyle and Chris Massey “Corey in the House and “Zoey 101,” The evening’s theme, “Come Be a Kid Again,” brings us back to the place of joy and wonderment that is childhood.

Christine Devine, anchor of the No. 1-ranked Fox 11 Ten O’clock News, hosted the event. Devine is an eight-time Emmy winner, including for Best Newscast for the last three years, and has profiled foster children seeking adoptive homes on her “Wednesday’s Child” segment.


Established in 1999, First Star is dedicated to strengthening the rights and improving the lives of America’s abused and neglected children through education, public policy, legislative reform and litigation. Its nonpartisan, multidisciplinary approach fosters collaborative action among organizations, advocates, practitioners and policy makers working to benefit children.


“If abused and neglected children had money or voted, there would be grownups constantly putting their interests in first position on our nation’s agenda,” states Peter Samuelson, President and Co-Founder of First Star. “While they may be poor, can’t vote, and the horrors done to them are mostly shrouded in secrecy, several million of these children each year are entitled to be helped. First Star puts them in first position.”


First Star recently launched two groundbreaking advocacy movements nationwide following the presentations of findings in Congress: “State Secrecy and Child Deaths in the U.S.” and “First Star National Report Card on Legal Representation for Children.” The goal of both reports is to serve as an objective, performance-evaluating tool in which all 50 states and the District of Columbia received A through F letter grades based on statutes, court rules and practice and to raise national public awareness of these alarming issues and ignite legislative reform efforts in poorly performing states.

Alexandra Rose Rieger is a wonderful supporter of First Star. She clearly uses her gifts and talents to help others. Whether meeting Alexandra in person, hearing her music or reading one of her books, so many have been inspired by her.
