Willie Basse Announces The Feed America Now Tour To Raise Awareness and Funds For Food Banks


WILLIE BASSE has announced upcoming dates for his upcoming Feed America-Now Tour. The tour will run in select cities throughout November, December and January to help raise awareness and funding for the plight of America's hungry. These are often hard-working, educated adults, children and seniors who simply cannot make ends meet and are forced to go without food for several meals, or even days. 1 in 5 children go to bed hungry every night. Willie Basse has posted a video blog about the tour online at this location.

"Through music and entertainment, we can make a huge difference in a short amount of time," commented Willie Basse. "I have to step up with a solution to an epidemic that is out of control in our own back-yard."

Basse is touring in support of his new single, "Break Away", which is
available on iTunes at this location. The song features guest appearances by Lynch Mob/ex-Dokken guitarist, George Lynch and Scorpions drummer, James Kottak.

Willie Basse is best known for his role as bassist/frontman for legendary metalheads Black Sheep, who were mainstays on the Los Angeles Sunset Strip during the '80s metal explosion.
