If there is one end of summer event that is not to be missed, it is The Rise Above Fest founded by Seether. Joining Seether are fellow rockers Buckcherry, Puddle of Mudd, Black Stone Cherry and Otherwise. While the name of the festival derives from one of Seether’s hit songs “Rise Above This” both the song and the festival have much more meaning to the band, especially lead singer Shaun Morgan. The song itself was originally written to bring Shaun’s younger brother Eugene Welgemoed out of his depression. Sadly Eugene ended his own life at a very young age before getting to hear the song he inspired. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15-to-24-year-olds, and the sixth leading cause of death for 5-to-14-year-olds. The Rise Above Fest’s mission is to raise awareness to the ever growing threat of teenage suicide. Several local and national charitable foundations will be invited to educate and help prevent teenage suicide with a portion of the proceeds going to support the community of Gilford, NH. In addition to the top name national acts uniting for the cause, there will be several local and regional acts performing. The acts will also compete for a coveted opening spot on the main stage. The Rise Above Fest is guaranteed to be a day of music, positivity and education in support of a good cause that the whole family can enjoy.
