Videos: Harbour Nights Charity CD Launch
Backers of “Ride the Wave”, Volume Two — the double-CD featuring 37 tracks of Bermuda music –are confident the charity project made a huge splash when it went on sale at Harbour Nights yesterday evening [May 18].
“Ride The Wave”, Volume Two — featuring original material by established artists like Troy Anthony as well as newcomers including Francesca Dill — was available outside the Freisenbruch Meyer Building at 75 Front Street.
“Last year we released ‘Ride the Wave’, Volume One for $20 and raised $40,000 for The Coalition for the Protection of Children,” said producer Tony Brannon, the veteran Bermudian entertainer and tourism activist who spearheaded the project along with insurance executive Michael Freisenbruch. “We would like to thank all Bermudians and visitors alike for their support and look forward to surpassing last year’s sales with our second release.”
The new “Ride The Wave” release features musical styles ranging from reggae and hip hop to folk and alternative. Part proceeds will benefit the Coalition for the Protection of Children.

Congratulations on the release of Ride the Wave 2. As one of the artist on the CD, I am very proud to be part of an idea that will blossom to ever big things in years to come. I would like to send my heart felt appreciation to Tony ( a true Bermudian son) who has worked so hard and with love to a project he believes in. Cheers to all the artist that have put their all into what they believe. My Bermuda Connection will all ways be in my heart, my home. Billy “The Wild Goat” Kelly
