Bono Welcomes Gotee Acts in AIDS & Poverty Cause
July 26, 2002
Several Christian artists are joining U2 front man Bono in his international effort to fight AIDS and poverty in Africa.
Gotee acts Jennifer Knapp, Out of Eden, Relient K, GRITS, Jeff Deyo and John Reuben are joining Michael W. Smith, Margaret Becker, Third Day, Sixpence None the Richer, dc Talk, Jars of Clay, the Newsboys and others who have begun showcasing a three minute video appeal from Bono during this summer's festivals. In his cameo the Irish singer cites the 2,300 verses in the Bible which focus on the poor and asks audiences to respond to the profound need in Africa.
This multi-artist partnership was initiated a few months ago when Gotee's publicity manager, Jay Swartzendruber, teamed with his mentor Charlie Peacock to write a proposal for Bono's initiative called DATA -- Debt, AIDS and Trade for Africa. Soon the brilliant mind and heart of Steve Taylor joined the mix and the rest is becoming history.
More than 15 Christian artists have chosen to endorse DATA's initiative. While concert goers are being asked to provide their name and email address to receive DATA's strategic initiatives, many of the artists are also recommending other immediate ways fans can respond to Africa.
