Top Indie Music Artists Stand-Up for Change

BOSTON - July 17, 2015 - PRLog -- The Official Stand-Up Tour (http://www.officialstanduptour.com/) has announced a coast-to-coast, 21-city summer tour featuring a line-up of some of the country’s top independent music artists including performers from X-Factor, The Voice, American Idol, America’s Got Talent, and more. The two-month tour debuts in Stanhope, New Jersey July 18 and concludes August 23 in New York City.

The Official Stand-Up Tour features 19 total music artists from around the country representing pop, rock, hip-hop, country, and more. A small group of artists will perform at each show and vary from location to location. It was founded in early 2014 and has since grown into a national concert tour featuring artists who share a message to “Stand-Up, Spread Love, and Rock On” while encouraging young fans to make a positive impact on society without bullying.

“The tour was formed to support musicians who realized a need to spread the message of acceptance, and ask fans to join them creating a stronger community through positive action," said Tour Director Jamie Ramsey. “The goal of this tour is to build a community of like-minded people who want to enjoy great music together while spreading the message of acceptance."
