"ALL TOGETHER NOW!"
Let's make the world a better place!
The R.A.G.E. stands for "Revolution Against Garbage Everywhere". It is a project started by songwriter/artist, Lauri (Laura Belle) Newton and her daughter, Jasmine Lace Petrie, of Petoskey. Its goal is to bring people together in a creative open atmosphere on a platform where all can share. It seeks to raise awareness and compassion in our community for issues that matter in our world today. It encourages artists, educators, and organizations to work together to make the world a better place. It is looking for talent in the arts that have not had an opportunity to share themselves, and those that have! We want to bring people together at our events to lay the ground work for change against "garbage everywhere"... (not just in the earth and air, but in our hearts, thought processes, and society everywhere). Think Global. Act Local.
The R.A.G.E. is a Poetry Reading, Songwriting Album Compilation Project that has recently been awarded a starter grant from Do Something.Org and The Grammy Foundation from a contest that was looking for projects that are trying to make a difference in the world with music. (Thanks to young local songwriter, Liz Thorp who submitted the entry!) We are looking for songs of any genre that were written with a message that could change the world. We would like help rework and develope any song with potential. Final mastering and recording is being done through Tres Dog Productions (231)330-5262/Scottie's Music Recording Studio (231)838-1204. Please contact us if you are a songwriter with something to share! The R.A.G.E. (231)-838-1890 also visit www.myspace.com/revolutionagainstgarbage

Why We Are

"Love is the passionate and abiding desire on the part of two or more people to produce together conditions under which each can be and spontaneously express, his real self; to produce together an intellectual soil and an emotional climate in which each can flourish, far superior to what either could achieve alone"

Liz Thorp: 15 yr old singer/songwriter/pianist


WOW. We just came from the studio having her lay a quick demo (you can hear it on our myspace page)

Liz shared the sweet music inside of her for the first time in front of people at the R A G E on Nov. 29. What a find! She has 9 originals. Yes! We want to help her do an album!

Let her be an inspiration you all.

"NO ONE is SILENT... MANY are not HEARD..."

We are doing what we can to change that.
