LONG BEACH, CA, November 23, 2015 – PEACE JAM 2015, the second annual benefit concert for children living in poverty and conflict zones, presented on behalf of The Miraculous Love Kids, took place on Sunday, November 22, at the Gaslamp Restaurant & Bar in Long Beach, California.

Other guests included singer Robbie Wyckoff and keyboardist Harry Waters (members of Roger Waters‘ touring band and featured in the film Roger Waters The Wall), along with rapper Sen Dog (Cypress Hill), singer Mark McGrath (Sugar Ray), singer Donovan Leitch (Royal Machines), drummer Kris Myers (Umphrey’s McGee), singer Phillip Bardowell (Beach Boys), keyboardist Gary Griffin (Beach Boys, Brian Wilson), singer Bret Aldstadt, author Mark Levine, singer Sandra Stephens, bassist William Edward Dagsher , singer/songwriter Kern Richards, jazz trumpeter Tony Guerrero, Soldiers of Sound, Random, Cosmic Reaction, and Brad Pupello.

“The funds we generated through PEACE JAM 2014 were used to provide for a family in Afghanistan who lost three family members to a suicide bombing including two young sisters Parwana and Korshid. They now live in a nicer home with running water and electricity, the kids are going to school, and a better quality of life is now a reality,” Cordola says. “PEACE JAM 2015 helped us to continue helping this family and others in need, including continuing our project ‘Girl With A Guitar,’ to teach girls in poor areas the guitar.”
Cordola began his journey through Pakistan and Afghanistan in 2010, collaborating with musicians on a peace-through-music project. “After visiting and meeting many kids who were living in poverty stricken areas and conflict zones, I decided to raise funds on their behalf, ” the musician recalls. “These Miraculous Love Kids’ lives are important, just as all our lives are important. I’ve become their friend, their advocate, their song and dance man. As Tom Petty sings: ‘You can stand me up at the gates of hell but I won’t back down.'”
