Slightly Stoopid announced they raised over $20,000 for charity through a successful artwork auction. “We are so thankful to Slightly Stoopid, Danielle Zirk, and the donors who participated in the ‘One Bright Day’ fundraiser,” said Ben Bunker, CEO of Global BrightLight Foundation. “Together we will bring clean, sustainable solar energy to at least two rural communities without electricity in Guatemala through our Light a Village program. We look forward to sharing the impact of these projects in the coming months.” The Global BrightLight Foundation is a nonprofit that provides affordable solar energy solutions to rural and impoverished communities globally. Select stills of the artwork used in the video will be featured at Hard Rock International venues.
Reggae-rockers Slightly Stoopid recently unveiled an animated video for the Meanwhile …Back At The Lab track “One Bright Day.” The song features vocals from special guest Angela Hunte and the video is made up of animated stills procured from large canvas paintings donated by Hawaii-based artist and aspiring pro-surfer Danielle Zirk. Proceeds from an auction of the original art will be donated to the Global BrightLight Foundation.
“One Bright Day” is a ukulele-heavy track written and co-produced by Slightly Stoopid’s Kyle McDonald. The song nicely complements Zirk’s artwork. “I wanted to illustrate a story of nature, love, and compassion by channeling the sound of the ukulele and the echoing voice of Hawaii,” said Zirk in a press release. “I used traditional Hawaiian imagery evoking volcanic goddesses, traditional oceanic star charting systems, old canoes sailing amongst breathing natural landscapes, and the one-of-a-kind enchantment of the ocean.”
Global BrightLight Foundation is a non-profit that provides affordable solar energy solutions to rural and impoverished communities worldwide. Head here for the auction of Zirk’s original artwork featured in the “One Bright Day” animated video.
