FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
XL Record's Recording
Artist Devendra Banhart
XL Record's Indie-folk recording artist Devendra Banhart will be celebrating his return to Colorado, with special benefit concert and VIP reception for the Native American Right's Fund (NARF). The concert and VIP reception will take place on September 10th at the Ogden Theatre in Denver. Devendra is a strong supporter of Native American rights and will be donating his performance fee for the night to NARF. The show will be produced by AEG Live Rocky Mountain. General admission tickets are $25, and are available at ticketmaster.com. There are also VIP & after show reception tickets available through NARF at www.guacfund.org or 303 447 8760. NARF is one of the oldest Native American non-profits in the country that has served as a leader in the Native American civil rights movement. Since 1970, NARF has served as a non-profit legal and advocacy organization that has assisted more than 250 tribes with critical issues pertaining to tribal sovereignty, environmental protection, religious freedom, government accountability, subsistence hunting and fishing, Indian child welfare and education. NARF specializes in providing legal assistance to tribes, American Indian individuals and organizations who lack adequate resources for legal representation. NARF's national headquarters are based in Boulder, Colorado with branch offices in Washington D.C. and Anchorage, Alaska. Devendra Banhart exploded on the international music scene in 2002 quickly winning a coterie of devoted fans as well as an unusually hefty amount of critical kudos right from the outset. His latest release is Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon, recorded at home in Topanga, CA throughout the Spring of 2007 co-produced by Noah Georgeson and Devendra. The critics’ acclaim and the size of his audience both at home and abroad earned by his debut Oh Me Oh My The Way The Day Goes By The Sun Is Setting Dogs Are Dreaming Lovesongs Of The Christmas Spirit was impressive to begin with and increased dramatically with each subsequent release: 2004’s Rejoicing In The Hands, Nino Rojo and 2005’s Cripple Crow. Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon is his second release on XL Recordings. "We are honored and overwhelmed
by Devendra Banhart's willingness to do this benefit concert for NARF,"
stated NARF Executive Director John Echohawk. Echohawk, who has been
named one of the 100 most influential lawyers in America by the National
Law Journal, also added "We are also grateful to the Guacamole Fund for
their efforts to help organize this event with Devendra for NARF.
NARF is 100% reliant on charitable contributions and proceeds from special
events such as concerts like this to support our ongoing work to defend
Native American rights.”
