Raising Money to Help End Domestic Violence

With strong beliefs in the ideas of community, collaboration, and creativity, The Hero and The Villain focuses not just on the music itself, but also on what a musical platform can do to spread messages of hope and love to everyone.

Each and every performance that The Hero and The Villain will ever participate in will include a charitable cause component, so by supporting the music you will also be supporting a number of outstanding organizations around the state, nation, and world that will undoubtedly change the lives of all those involved.

The Hero and The Villain is currently working with the PUT THE NAIL IN IT foundation to help end domestic violence by donating 100% of all proceeds received from album sales, merchandise sales, and collected donations during each performance to this more than worthwhile cause.

The Hero and The Villain has also formed a local partnership with the SCSU WOMEN'S CENTER who is doing very similar work in supporting area women who are experiencing all types of gender violence situations, so a portion of all proceeds from local performances will be donated to help continue those valiant efforts.

NEWS

The Hero and The Villain recently had the opportunity to close out the 2023 season of Prairie Musicians on Prairie Public Broadcasting, and we couldn't be happier how the entire production of our season finale episode turned out! You can check out the full episode above!

The performance calendar is truly taking shape at this point, with quite a few opportunities to catch The Hero and The Villain live at some point in 2023, especially during those summer months. There will also be plenty of time spent in the studio over the next few months, with a SINGLE releasing in the spring, a MINI-EP releasing this summer, and then we head back into the studio this fall for a FULL-LENGTH LP to release in 2024!!!

And that's not even close to the start of things for The Hero and The Villain this year! We recently launched our very own store, complete with original merchandise designs of all kinds (with many more to come!), and that rolls right into our continued charity work with the Put The Nail In It foundation to help end domestic violence (as all proceeds from our store go directly to that worthwhile cause). Stay tuned for even more news on all fronts as we will constantly be updating the website with news and happenings from The Hero and The Villain!!!
