Highlights from Road Recovery's Tenth Anniversary Benefit Concert!

Thursday, April 17th – Nokia Theatre, Broadway, NYC: Slash (Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver), Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave), Wayne Kramer (MC5), Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addiction), Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains), comedian - Denis Leary, Joseph Arthur, Sen Dog (Cypress Hill), Jakob Dylan (The Wallflowers), Ours/Jimmy Gnecco, Miggs, Crazy James together with kids from Road Recovery’s programs rocked together!
In 1998, Road Recovery founders Gene Bowen (tour manager) & Jack Bookbinder (artist manager) set out to build a foundation whose goal would be to impact the lives of young people through the efforts of entertainment industry professionals, supported by mental health clinicians, to help at-risk youth navigate their way towards a promising future. Bowen and Bookbinder envisioned the day when youth, some considered outcasts in society, would share a Broadway stage with some of rock music’s superstars. With the help of countless dedicated music industry professionals and the mental heath field, Bowen and Bookbinder’s dream became a reality and history was made on April 17, 2008 at the Nokia Theater - Times Square during Road Recovery’s 10 year celebration.
