Seabird To Tour In Support Of Mocha Club Charity
US rock band Seabird will partner with the charitable organization, Mocha Club for their upcoming 'Over The Hills And Everywhere Tour' with Ben Rector. The tour will launch in early December and finish towards the middle of the month.
Mocha Club is about connecting your community with their community in Africa by giving up $7 a month, the cost of 2 mochas. Specifically, Seabird's partnership will assist in the education efforts of the Mocha Club established in schools in Africa such as Emmanuel Vo-Tech School in Kenya, Learn to Earn in South Africa, Creche Preschools in Capetown, South Africa and more.
"My wife and I have been Mocha Club members for almost a year, and we've been blown away by their undeniable impact on the people of Africa," explains Aaron Morgan of Seabird. "Ryan and I took our first trip to Africa when we were just teenagers and were deeply impacted by the genuine love and compassion we saw in the people even in the midst of such intense poverty. They are thankful when there is little to be thankful for. And they find joy when joy would seem to have left town. Their heritage is a rich one and they embrace it as if it were a precious gift. We mean it when we say we're honored to partner with Mocha Club to make education a reality for African kids who deserve a chance." For more information about Seabird's work with Mocha Club, visit the the organisation's website.
On the tour, the band will be performing songs from their new Christmas EP of the same name. Songs included on the direct to digital retailers EP include 'Angels We Have Heard On High', 'Go Tell It On The Mountain', 'What Child Is This?', 'Hark The Herald Angels Sing', 'O Come, O Come Emmanuel', 'Joy To The World' and 'Silent Night'. The EP is available on iTunes now. Joining Seabird will be piano-pop solo artist Ben Rector.
