Recording Artist Eddie Bush & Wild Wing Café Partner to Help Homeless
Carols for Cans to Raise Awareness of Continuing Community Needs
December 16, 2010, Mt. Pleasant, S.C. – Riding the success of his hit holiday single “I C Christmas”, Charleston recording artist Eddie Bush has partnered with national restaurant chain Wild Wing Café for Carols for Cans 2010 on December 22nd, a benefit concert to help the homeless. With operations in over 30 markets nationwide, Wild Wing Café is one of Charleston’s most popular restaurant chains.
Committed to helping feed those in need, Wild Wing Café, Mt. Pleasant, worked with Bush to pair the spirit of giving this holiday season with good music for a great cause. Bush said, “The homeless are in need every day, not just during the holidays. This is about every day hunger, which most of us don’t think about. Charleston has a strong and generous community, but resources are stretched thin for many. We’re hopeful that our Carols for Cans concert will bring renewed awareness to the many individuals and families who struggle every day with hunger.”
Admission to the benefit concert is free, but fans planning to attend the show are asked to bring healthy canned food items to donate. In addition to the canned food drive, Eddie has pledged to donate a portion of the proceeds raised from sales of his new Christmas single “I C Christmas” to local efforts to provide shelter for the area’s homeless population.
What: Carols for Cans 2010
When: Wednesday, December 22nd – 9:30 p.m.
Where: Wild Wing Café, 644 Coleman Blvd, Mt. Pleasant, S.C.
About Eddie Bush
Eddie Bush’s lifelong love for music began when he picked up his first guitar at age four. With early influences of The Beatles, Elvis, Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen, Eddie committed himself to becoming a great guitar player. Touring with renowned guitarist Eric Johnson and opening for artists such as Keith Urban, Ted Nugent, Heart, Sammy Hagar, Alison Krauss, Montgomery Gentry, Georgia Satellites, Cheap Trick, Eddie Money and Jefferson Starship helped prepare Eddie for the national recognition he would receive from his 9/11 anthem Spirit of America. Following that success, Eddie appeared live on Fox Channel’s Fox & Friends as well as in our nation’s capitol in front of 30,000 police officers and President Bush, where he performed his tribute to fallen police officers The Thin Blue Line. In 2006, Eddie became a member of a new trio, One Flew South, and was signed to Decca/Universal. With collaborations from award-winning songwriters JD Souther, Darrell Scott and Marcus Hummon, One Flew South debuted its first album Last of the Good Guys, producing its first Billboard Hot Country single My Kind of Beautiful. A passionate advocate of music education, in 2009, Eddie partnered with EdisonLearning and developed a curriculum focusing on the importance of songwriting and music. Eddie wrote EdisonLearning’s theme song Power of You, and travels to schools nationwide where he visits and sings with students, further encouraging their love and appreciation for music. Eddie is currently working on his 10th studio album and recently released his first holiday single I C Christmas. Learn more at www.EddieBush.com.
