We're honored to partner with Nettwerk and support artists in their journey towards mental health through this series of performances while also contributing a portion of proceeds to To Write Love on Her Arms, a leader in providing crucial mental health resources to those in need.”   Danielle Romeo, Nettwerk SVP, Publicity said: “Nettwerk is thrilled to partner with Sofar Sounds on this series of shows. We are constantly inspired by the many artists from our roster who advocate for normalizing open conversations around mental health, so it’s wonderful to celebrate this moment by bringing these artists together in a live setting for them to share their music, their stories, and provide a safe space for audiences to connect, heal and grow. We are proud to support an organization like To Write Love on Her Arms, which for over fifteen years has been a leader in providing crucial mental health resources to those in need.”    Amber Gardner, TWLOHA Director of Partnerships said:  “At TWLOHA we believe music is a safe space. Music reminds us that we can connect with and share our emotions, and then it gives us a way to do just that. Identifying and processing our feelings can be part of caring for our mental health. When we can’t do that with words, music steps in with all its lyrics, melodies, rhythms, and harmonies. It can help remind us of who we are and free us to live in that truth."
