Godsmack's Sully Erna will be joined by members of Staind, Shinedown, Papa Roach and more for his Live From The Living Room charity fundraiser. Other acts will include members of Saint Asonia, Extreme and Sevendust. Live From the Living Room will benefit the Erna's Scars Foundation. According to Blabbermouth, the benefit will go down on August 6th at 8pm est and will stream on Erna's YouTube channel and the Foundation's Facebook page.
The benefit will feature special sets from Godsmack and Erna solo — accompanied by Chris Lester and Máiréad Nesbitt, plus performances from Aaron Lewis of Staind, Brent Smith and Zach Myers of Shinedown, Papa Roach, Mike Mushok and Adam Gontier of Saint Asonia, Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme and Clint Lowery of Sevendust.
Erna said in a statement, “I had always looked for ways to give back and help others in some way after reaching certain levels of success in my life. But I could never really figure out where to dedicate my time and attention and what was important to me, or where I even had experience to offer. I want to share that with people and lend my stories, my experiences, and my theories on how you can overcome challenging times rather than letting them ruin your life.”
He continued, “And that's why The Scars Foundation is so important to me. It's personal. It's my life. And it's important that people who struggle with these mental health issues and 'imperfections,' or 'scars,' as we call them, learn how to embrace them, and show them to the world loudly and proudly!
