Ben Harper Joins Eddie Vedder in Haiti Relief Single
02.17.10
Ben Harper has joined in Eddie Vedder’s previously announced Haiti relief single efforts. Harper’s full version of “My Father’s House” from from the recent Kennedy Center Honors is now available alongside Eddie’s full audio performance of Bruce Springsteen’s “My City Of Ruins” from the same event. The digital album of both songs is available for purchase through iTunes and Amazon mp3 for $1.98 (or $.99/track). Proceeds from the sale of the track benefit Artists for Peace and Justice Haiti Relief.
About Artists for Peace and Justice
Artists for Peace and Justice (APJ), established in early 2009, is a fundraising effort founded by Paul Haggis and friends that encourages peace and social justice and addresses issues of poverty and enfranchisement in communities around the world. Over the past year, APJ has directed its efforts to raising enough funds to fully sponsor three schools in Haiti in support of the initiatives of Father Rick Frechette and his team. These schools aren’t just a place to learn but provide for a hot meal, clean water and a chance at the future to children who desperately need it. Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, APJ has focused its efforts on raising much needed dollars for emergency aid in the ravaged country that is only a few hours from our shores.
