IN OTHER NEWS:

Sarah Aroeste, along with fellow Jewish chick rockers and singer/songwriters, Naomi Less and Chana Rothman, have teamed up with IndieGoGo

to help launch their national initiative, Lights Ignite Change.

Kicked-off with a concert last December in Philadelphia, Lights Ignite Change works to rally communities across the country to come together around inspiring music and social justice causes.

We are currently working to create a musical anthem called "A New Light" that will spearhead this exciting initiative, and we are asking for your help to make it happen.

We are recording the song this summer with members of Patty Smyth's Band, along with world-class musicians, producers and engineers. The finished product will surely energize and light you up!

To learn more about the project and how you can be a part of helping to creating the anthem, please click here. We hope you will be inspired and moved to participate!
