WEST CHESTER, PA — Renowned regional rockers Superunknown, who have been captivating audiences with their stirring renditions of Chris Cornell classics, have announced that they will be dedicating their November 22 show at the Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center show in West Chester, PA to all U.S. Veterans. During this special performance, the band will recognize all attending Veterans and personally thank them for their sacrifice, service, and commitment to safeguarding the freedoms of the U.S.
Superunknown, which features Marine Corps Veteran and Vocalist/Guitarist Jason Reed, will also donate all proceeds from the evening’s merchandise sales, as well as a portion of the ticket sales, to the Stop Soldier Suicide organization. Stop Soldier Suicide is the only national 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused solely on solving the issue of suicide among U.S. veterans and service members.
“We’re stoked for our return to West Chester on November 22. If you’re coming to this show and you’re a Veteran please message us at Superunknown on Facebook and let us know,” said Reed. “We want to celebrate you!”
Reed served in the Marine Corps two times for a total of six years. He was on active duty from 1991-1995, deployed five times in four years to Mogadishu, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Middle East, and Europe. He was out for six years when 9/11 happened at which time he re-enlisted. As part of Superunknown, which also features Louis Graff (Guitar), Tom Laskas (Bassist), Ron DiSilvestro (Drums), and Pete Hefley (Guitar), he has had the opportunity to give back to servicemen and women and work with the Armed Forces Entertainment to perform at almost a dozen military bases around the world.
“It’s been amazing going back and performing for the troops 25-30 years after I was serving on active duty– even back to some of the same regions where I served in the 90s,” Reed said. “We’ve performed on a number of bases that have multi-national forces, so in addition to U.S. service members, we’ve played for members of the military from the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy and a number of other nations.”
The Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center is located at 226 N High St, West Chester, PA 19380. Tickets are available at https://uptownwestchester.org/pf/superunknown-2/. The show starts at 7:30 PM.
