VNUE'S STAGEIT TO LIVESTREAM ALL-STAR SHOW CELEBRATING THE LIFE AND MUSIC OF JACK RUSSELL

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Dec. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading music technology company VNUE (OTC: VNUE) today announced that the company's livestream platform, StageIt.com, will be livestreaming an all-start tribute to legendary vocalist Jack Russell, a founding member of the multi-platinum rock band Great White, from the World-Famous Whisky a Go-Go, on January 14^th, 2025. VNUE'S own CTO, Tony Cardenas-Montana, and longtime member of Great White as well as Jack's touring band, played a key role in helping to organize the event.

Jack Russell, a California native, was a multi-platinum recording artist known for his passionate and soulful voice. Jack brought unforgettable performances to chart-topping hits such as "Rock Me," "Save Your Love," "Once Bitten, Twice Shy," "House of Broken Love," "Desert Moon," "Lady Redlight," "Call it Rock n Roll," and "Angel Song." These classics resonated on radio and MTV, solidifying Russell's place as a prominent figure on the rock scene. The multi-platinum success of Once Bitten (1987) and ...Twice Shy (1989) cemented his status as an icon of 1980s rock.

Jack was tragically lost to us on August 7^th, 2024, at aged 63, due to complications from Lewy Body Dementia and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA).

Multiple well-known artists will be making appearances and performing alongside Jack's longtime band, Jack Russell's Great White, at the tribute, including Don Dokken (Dokken), Lita Ford, Joey Allen (Warrant), Jerry Dixon (Warrant), Andrew Freeman (Great White), Nate Peck (Firehouse), Terry Ilous (XWY/Great White), and many more. The tribute will be hosted by comedian/actor Hal Sparks (Queer as Folk / Dude Where's My Car) and will benefit the Lewy Body Dementia Association (lbda.org) and the Defeat MSA Alliance (defeatmsa.org).

Those who are unable to travel to the Whisky to enjoy this tribute to Jack's amazing life may get tickets for the livestream at https://bit.ly/JackRussellCelebration. Proceeds from livestream ticket sales benefit the organizations noted above, and fans may also will have the opportunity to donate additional monies through StageIt's online interface during the performance, and engage in interactive chat.
