A donation will be made to MusiCares for every album and track sold.  MusiCares ensures that music people have a place to turn in times of financial, medical and personal need.

Band of Merrymakers will perform throughout the holiday season on TV including The Today Show and The Hollywood Christmas Parade. Their tour kicks off in New York City on December 1st at BB Kings and also hits New Jersey, Connecticut and Los Angeles.

Band of Merrymakers is led by Sugar Ray front man Mark McGrath and hit songwriters/producers Kevin Griffin (Taylor Swift, Sugarland, James Blunt, Howie Day...also of Better Than Ezra) and Sam Hollander (Train, One Direction, Panic! At The Disco, Pentatonix).

In addition to making a donation to MusiCares, Band of Merrymakers will be partnering with Musicians On Call (MOC), a nonprofit organization that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities across the country, to design an "Ugly Sweater" for the holiday season. All proceeds from the sale of their sweater will go directly to MOC to help the organization to continue to spread the healing power of music.
