“We’ve always tried to bring out bands that we listen to and try to support bands that we’re into and it’s kind of surprising just how few people are really paying attention to new music, so I think the more opportunity you can give to new artists, the better,” Carney said. That is part of the mission of Save the Music Foundation, too. The non-profit helps students, schools and communities grow by investing in music. The organization has become one of the country’s leading music foundations by partnering with public school districts and enhancing their music programs with new instruments, music technology and educational resources for teachers.
Fans everywhere can win a chance at visiting the Bayou City as special guests of the Black Keys by doing a few easy things to support Save the Music. A complete list can be found on the contest’s webpage at, which works with non-profits to share their initiatives. Joining the foundation, donating to the non-profit and purchasing Save the Music items earn participants points to be redeemed as entries into the grand prize drawing. The contest ends at midnight Pacific time on October 4.
