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

As the 2023 music season begins to wind down and The Hero and The Villain starts to shift from performing live to a restful musical creation hibernation state, there is no better time to update all of our faithful fans on what has been our most productive year in music thus far!

Entering into 2023 with a seemingly insurmountable goal of raising over $3000 through album sales, merchandise sales, and donations alone, we quite easily surpassed that goal and will be donating over $3500 to the PUT THE NAIL IN IT Foundation to close out the year!  None of this would have been possible without the support of our ever-growing fanbase and the absolutely amazing venues that we have partnered with these past few years.  And this work will undoubtedly continue on into 2024 and beyond as the backbone of this entire musical operation is to raise money and help those who truly need it.

That being said, next year may look a bit different for The Hero and The Villain, as our main focus will be creation.  We have quite the list of writing and recording projects that will be taking precedence this upcoming year, so if you begin to notice that the performance calendar appears a little lighter than normal, it is all very much going to be worth it in the long run!

And with that small but tasty little teaser of what is to come, make sure to check back often beginning in January as some of those projects begin to fully take shape!!!
