We’re very please to welcome the Alliance for Climate Education (ACE) as a Green Music Group Partner!
ACE is a national nonprofit dedicated to educating America’s high school students about the science behind climate change and inspiring them to do something about it—while having fun along the way. Their mission is to educate, inspire and activate students to curb climate change and its effects. Check out their Assembly Trailer, and visit them at http://www.acespace.org to learn more!
We invite you to participate in the GMG Challenge! Visit challenge.greenmusicgroup.org to sign up.
Green Music Group was launched in January 2010 by a high-profile coalition of artists, music industry leaders, and respected environmental non-profit organizations with the aim of bringing about widespread environmental change, both within the music industry, and beyond it.
To that end, The Green Music Group Challenge is the first major fan outreach and educational promotion of GMG. This web-based photo challenge encourages members to take positive environmental action via a series of nine bi-weekly challenges, each put forth by one of GMG’s Founding Artists. Launching on April 10th, the GMG Challenge runs for 18 weeks and features video “calls to action” from artists such as Dave Matthews Band, Sheryl Crow, Maroon 5, Willie Nelson, Linkin Park, and other influential musicians.
During each challenge, participants are will submit a photo illustrating their completion of the action. Each entry will be judged and prizes will be awarded to challenge winners. Additionally, each challenge entry will qualify the participant for an entry into the Grand Prize drawing for a 2010 Honda Insight Hybrid.
Hello GMG!
Adam from Guster here. Just wanted to take a minute to say THANK YOU to everyone who made our launch last weekend such a big success.
Getting to play with some of the other Founding Artists was a blast! I loved the random assortment on stage: Maroon 5, The Roots, Dave Matthews Band and Guster! Combine that with leaders in the non-profit world like Mike Brune from Sierra Club and Reverend Yearwood from Hip Hop Caucus and it turned into quite an eclectic mix. And what was Jason Biggs doing there?!?! Actually, he plays a mean cowbell, he just forgot to bring it.
I’m so excited to move forward with GMG. We have some very cool things in the works, with challenges and calls to action that will create some real, tangible change.
For now, I’d like to encourage you all to sign up for the GMG list. You’ll have a shot at winning one of three guitars signed by Founding Artists. We’ll be keeping you posted on what we’re up to, and we’ll let you know how you can join in on our upcoming challenges. Join us!

Become a member of the GMG Community, and we’ll give you a chance to win one of three eco-friendly guitars autographed by our Founding Members. Pretty easy, right? All you have to do is give us your e-mail address. We’ll be sending updates about once a month, and we’ll let you know how you can sign up for our GMG Challenge for a chance to win even more prizes; think concert tickets, music catalogues, sweet bikes, a year’s supply of ice cream…
We are honored to be the non-profit partner of the 6th Annual Roots Jam Session, widely regarded as “one of the most electrifying nights” of the award season. Please check back soon for more news from the event!
Next weekend, Team Reverb will be heading out to Los Angeles to celebrate the launch of Green Music Group. A cocktail party will be held in Hollywood, CA, where founding members will come together to celebrate their new collaboration. Please check back soon for galleries from the launch event!
