ROCK A BYE LULLABIES is a 16 track CD/DVD benefit project to help fund the Stand Up For Kids national organization. We are calling upon musicians to write, record and produce an original lullaby that we can compile and package as a compilation disk. Reaching the future generation at the beginning of their precious lives with positive thoughts, globally friendly messages, and loving lyrics will help instill in them from their earliest age, messages that can help them build a better future.
Sponsorship will offset the production expenses as well as help finance the remaining costs associated with making this CD/DVD available globally. 85% of the profit from this project will go directly to Stand Up For Kids to give children across the nation that have been thrust out on the streets a chance at a better life. It will give them a chance to fight poverty from the inside out and ensure that they have a chance at a bright future.
If you are a musician or a corporate sponsor and would like to be a part of this worthy project, please email to Amanda Rodgers at radiochick @ mindspring.com

Amanda Rodgers – Executive Producer, ROCK A BYE LULLABIES Project
Amanda Rodgers has been producing radio shows and events on the fast track before there was such a thing as "Internet time." Since 1983 she has hosted shows, served as Development Operations Manager, Promotions Manager, and Morning News Producer at radio stations such as the non-profit KVMR-FM, in Nevada City, KSFM 102.5 and KSMJ-AM in Sacramento, and WKLS, Atlanta’s 96 Rock. She currently serves as the Promotions Director of Star 94.1 and KNCO Newstalk 830. You’ll also find her behind the microphone as host of the mid-day show on Star 94.1 in her hometown of Grass Valley, California where she lives with her husband and two children.
In the 90’s Amanda served as a producer for a northern California web design firm, producing websites and print campaigns for a variety of clients including Applied Predictive Technologies, gigaflip.com, Kindling Ventures, burningpoint.com, Doupnik Manufacturing, Echo Online Systems and Johnson Propeller. After company-wide lay offs, she embarked on an alternative approach to the web design business and co-founded Scion Creative Syndicate where she was partner and Executive Producer. Her flair for producing successful, high profile events, combined with an enthusiastic, client-centric approach and solid marketing skills, was a natural fit in the high technology world, but a chance meeting of Robben Ford and his wife brought music back to the forefront of her attention. Producing a show with six-time Grammy Nominee John McCutcheon and the signing of Michael Franti and Spearhead to play for KVMR-FM in 2002 helped shift her focus from developing web sites back to her true love: music.
Now Amanda is working with ActiveMusic to develop her ROCK A BYE LULLABIES CD concept as a creative avenue to be able to contribute to communities across the nation. Though she lives in a remote area her reach extends far beyond county lines. Her cause is global and her mission is to do her part in helping those that need it so very much. Her favorite saying is: “There is enough for everyone” and through music, she intends to prove that over and over.
Tish Campbell – Producer, ROCK A BYE LULLABIES Project
Tish Campbell grew up surrounded with artists, writers, musicians, political activists, organic farmers and proponents for communal living. In 1979, when she and her mother visited the cooperative community in Northern California where her Aunt had been for a year, Tish’s mother knew immediately that it was the atmosphere in which she wanted to raise her daughter. The community focused on practicing “plain living and high thinking,” they practiced organic farming, self-sustainability, alternative schooling for their children, and lifestyles steeped in balance and righteous action.
Tish Campbell was a business owner for over 10 years, but in 2004 she made a career switch into nonprofit work. With a background in the arts and business development and an undergraduate degree from Virginia Commonwealth University in Art History, The High Museum of Art hired her to construct a program that provided grant money to teachers who were finding it increasingly more difficult to include Museum visits into their curriculum due to budget restrictions, transportation costs, arts funding cut-backs and rigorous testing schedules. The program named Art Access was a great success and continues today thanks to a generous endowment gift from the Kendeda Foundation.
Tish is committed to continuing her career within the context of socially conscious organizations. She takes tremendous pleasure in helping people to excel and hopes to inspire and encourage them into action by facilitating networking, giving them advice, and providing any knowledge or creative ideas she has to help them stay excited and focused. Tish Currently lives in San Francisco and volunteers as an Account Director for the Taproot Foundation, assembling professional volunteer teams and guiding marketing projects for grantee clients with the intent of helping these Bay Area nonprofits better fulfill their missions.
