In an inspiring blend of music and philanthropy, Paul Rader, a seasoned acoustic performer from northern Ohio, is leveraging his musical talents to aid hurricane relief efforts in Florida. As he heads to the Sunshine State for his annual winter performance at Key West's Bear Bottom Beach Club, Rader is set to donate a significant portion of his live CD sales to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.
Paul Rader's commitment to hurricane relief is demonstrated through his latest initiative. For the remainder of 2004, he pledges to donate $500 and 50% of the profits from his new live album, "Land of the Cover Band Live - Vol. I." This album features fourteen classic rock tracks recorded live in March at the Bear Bottom Beach Club. The funds will directly support the American Red Cross in their efforts to manage the aftermath of recent hurricanes in Florida.
The recent hurricanes have left a trail of destruction across Florida, with the Red Cross estimating damages well over $63 million. This figure is set to rise with the potential impact of Hurricane Ivan. Despite raising $35 million so far, the needs of affected families are immense and growing. Rader's contributions provide crucial support to the strapped-for-cash relief fund, aiding in recovery and rebuilding efforts.
For those inspired by Rader's actions and wishing to contribute, purchases of "Land of the Cover Band Live - Vol. I" can be made where sound samples and additional album information are available on the CD's dedicated website, LOCB. Direct donations can also be made through links set up on Rader's artist website.
Paul Rader hopes his contributions will inspire other independent artists to support disaster relief efforts in similar ways. By integrating philanthropy with his musical career, Rader sets a commendable example of how individual talents can be harnessed for greater good.

In conclusion, Paul Rader's initiative not only highlights the ongoing needs of hurricane victims in Florida but also showcases the impactful role that individuals and communities can play in disaster relief through creative and dedicated efforts.
