Chadwick Stokes and The Pintos will be performing at the House of Blues on December 10th with special guests, The Righteous Babes. The event is a benefit concert celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of the organization Calling all Crows. Chadwick Stokes Urmston and Sybil Gallagher, his wife and touring manager, started the organization back in 2008 and it has achieved massive success globally.<\/span><\/p>\n The non-profit has been created to assist in Feminist Movements and public service. \u201cWe have also expanded the number of issues we work on\u2026in 15 years we have worked on a variety of issues from refugee rights to criminalization and mass incarceration, and right now we\u2019re really focused on sexual violence within the music industry,\u201d said Kim Warnick (She\/Her), director of Calling All Crows.<\/span><\/p>\n Currently two of there major campaigns are \u201cUnlocked Voices\u201d and \u201c#Hereforthemusic.\u201d The first focuses on mass incarceration, and challenges the reality that women are the fastest growing prison population in the United States. This affects the incarcerated well after they do their time with their housing and job security being impacted. \u201cWe literally put people out of sight or out of mind when we put them into jail or prison,\u201d said Warnick on the issue. She continued saying, \u201cIt disproportionately impacts black and brown people in this country\u2026 it mostly is affecting poor people across racial lines.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Calling All Crows is aiming to bring this to light because of the impact it has on most Americans, including those who have friends or family in the incarceration system.<\/span><\/p>\n The \u201c#Hereforthemusic\u201d campaign \u201cworks to build true safety with all parties who come together to create a show or festival,\u201d says the organizations website. Warnick states that \u201cWe have now worked with over a 100 artists, venues, and festivals.\u201d Artists that the organization has worked with include Clairo, Dispatch, and LAR. It involves asking what harassment policies are in place before performing a show or how they train their staff. \u201cWe worked with Courtney Barnett\u2019s team and the Here and There festival\u2026we work with Bonnaroo,\u201d according to Warnick. On top of the staff working at the shows, they also focus on helping fans feel more comfortable at the venues.<\/span><\/p>\n The benefit concert at the House of Blues concert is the first big event for the organization in a couple of years. \u201cTo get to see our community again and new supporters and old supporters\u2026it\u2019s just very exciting for us,\u201d said Warnick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally the show lets fans get involved with public service by running a project during the afternoon of December 10th at the Foundation room of the House of Blues. You can sign up to take part in the project <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. You can also purchase tickets to the show later that night <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Written by John Maniace Chadwick Stokes and The Pintos will be performing at the House of Blues on December 10th with special guests, The Righteous Babes.
