FRANK TURNER PARTNERS WITH SWEET RELIEF MUSICIANS FUNDÂ TO RAISE OVER $18,000 ON RECENT U.S. TOUR7/8/2024 As he approaches the landmark of his sold out, 3000th show at Alexandra Palace in London, UK on Saturday, February 22, 2025, Frank Turner recently partnered with Sweet Relief Musicians Fund on the first leg of his U.S. Undefeated tour to raise $18,158 through a sweepstakes for one of the acclaimed British singer-songwriter’s personal tour guitars. During the tour, over 500 fans across America entered in a chance to win a Epiphone Hummingbird Studio Acoustic-Electric guitar in faded cherry signed by Turner. The funds donated nightly were distributed and used to provide financial grants for music industry professionals in need of mental health care. “We’re blown away by Frank’s level of commitment and support,” said Aric Steinberg, EVP–Development/Artist Relations | Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. “His consistency and willingness to make this campaign a success is truly remarkable and demonstrates his generous nature. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the start of the campaign and he’s a genuinely kindhearted person; we’re so grateful to have him as a supporter, and I can speak for all of the artists who will now receive mental health care when I say, ‘thank you!' to Frank.” Turner had the following to share as well: “I was honoured to have Sweet Relief as part of the U.S. tour lately; the work they do is commendable in every way, lending a hand is the least I could do. I’m also proud that my audience raised such a great amount of money for the cause. It will make a huge difference to people who need it.” Additionally, Turner recently announced another leg of shows in North America for the fall. Kicking off at the Egyptian Room at Old National Centre in Indianapolis, IN on Tuesday, August 27, the second leg will take in 11 evenings across the U.S. midwest and select markets in Canada, all in the lead-up to Turner’s celebrated Lost Evenings VII Festival taking place in Toronto, ON at The Theatre at the Great Canadian Casino Resort from September 19-22. Tickets for all shows are on sale now, and a full listing of dates can be found below. More information can also be found via Turner’s official website HERE.
On Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5, Turner also embarked on the first-ever Music Venue Trust world record attempt where he performed the most official shows in different cities in 24 hours. In this timeframe, Turner shattered the record by playing 15 solo shows across the UK, each at an independent venue, ticketed by an independent record shop. The previous record was held by Hunter Hayes with 10 shows, and before that it was The Flaming Lips with eight. The challenge supported grassroots venues and independent record stores across the UK, and Turner’s effort was supported by London’s No. 1 Taxi app FREENOW, who provided e-taxis for him to complete the almost 500-mile journey. The world record attempt came on the heels of the Friday, May 3 release of Undefeated, Turner’s 10th studio LP and the follow-up to his critically acclaimed #1 UK album, FTHC. The new record finds the sweet spot between youthful outspokenness and surviving midlife’s challenges: who you are versus who you wanted to be in your youth, life-altering love, fading friendships, wistful nostalgia, the mental fallout and political consequences that still linger from the pandemic era, and the more prosaic issue of persistent backache. Undefeated is available to stream and purchase HERE, with the pick of its physical formats being a limited edition picture disc with one-shot photography captured by a vintage tintype camera. Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls will be making the following North American appearances in 2024. Dates below. AUGUST 27 — Indianapolis, IN — Egyptian Room at Old National Centre * 28 — Des Moines, IA — Val Air Ballroom * 30 — Bozeman, MT — The Elm * SEPTEMBER 03 — Vancouver, BC — Commodore Ballroom * 05 — Calgary, AB — Grey Eagle Event Center * 06 — Edmonton, AB — Midway Music Hall * 07 — Saskatoon, SK — Coors Event Centre * 08 — Winnipeg, MB — Burton Cummings Theatre * 12 — Madison, WI — The Sylvee * 13 — St. Louis, MO — The Pageant * 14 — Nashville, TN — Marathon Music Works * 19—22 — Toronto, ON — Lost Evenings VII Festival at The Theatre at the Great Canadian Casino Resort ~ * — w/ Bedouin Soundclash, Bridge City Sinners ~ — Festival date About Sweet Relief: Sweet Relief was founded in 1994 by singer-songwriter Victoria Williams, and has been providing financial assistance to all types of career musicians and music industry workers ever since.

We are so grateful to help folks in the music industry like Lucy Morningstar❤️ Check out her video testimonial below! One of Nashville's most sought after piano players, Dirk Johnson, has recorded and produced many gospel and country artists such as Alan Jackson, Dolly Parton, Gene Watson and countless others over his 40+ year career. Now he needs our help.
Over the past several months, endless tests, and many hospitalizations, Dirk was diagnosed with Nonalcoholic Liver Disease, and is now in end stage liver failure. Because of the severity of the progression of his disease, a liver transplant is the only option for a full recovery of this disease. During the testing for candidacy to receive a new liver, Dirk encountered seizures and a head injury. Because of the combination of these two things, Dirk is currently ventilator dependent and his liver treatments and workups have been put on hold. His extensive hospitalization has prevented him and his wife Gail from working full-time. Please consider supporting Dirk in his time of need. HUGE thanks to all the participants at this years Desert Charity Cup! This year, grant beneficiaries will be music industry professionals and their families suffering from AFIB and stroke. Each year the Desert Charity Cup chooses a beneficiary group which resonates with their founders and participants.

In 2023, over $212k was raised in honor of Tom and Melanie Meyer-Whalley to support music industry professionals and their families suffering from Alzheimer's.
In 2022, over $100,000 was raised to support women's health in the music industry. The newest collaboration from glam metal band Steel Panther and Soundwaves is now live!! The band also hand-wrote a lyric — "She's got the eyes of a panther" — and they're digitally added to each print.
