Noted recording artist MARCUS GOLDHABER, a 2016 MAC Award nominee, celebrates the release of CARRY YOU ON, his new "Album for Action" to "bridge the gap" between civilians and military veterans through the power of music, with a VETERANS WEEK KICKOFF Benefit CD Release Concert, VIP Reception and Post-Show Talk-Back featuring members of the military community, local representatives and officials, and civilians - Monday, Nov. 6 at the Cutting Room, NYC.

CARRY YOU ON, a major milestone in Goldhaber's ongoing mission to deepen the civilian-veteran discussion beyond "Thank You for Your Service," is a uniquely compelling collection of story-based songs created to open new windows into the everyday lives of veterans and their - all based on stories told to Goldhaber by veterans along the way to live stages in clubs, concert halls, arenas, festivals and other East Coast veterans related events. The album will be released Veterans Day Weekend (Nov. 10) on Krian Music Group/Universal Records.

Half of the proceeds from physical sales of CARRY YOU ON directly support Iraq Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), a non-partisan, non-profit which similarly seeks to connect, unite and empower post-9/11 veterans, while strengthening the civilian-veteran bond. The album was entirely funded through a Kickstarter campaign that the marquee crowdfunding site declared a "Project We Love," in raising nearly $70,000.

"Everyone has a stake in this fight," says Goldhaber. "Music has staying power. Music lasts. These stories, as told through song, will stay with people as a constant reminder. You don't remember a news story the same way. You don't hum the evening news. That's my story. That's what brought me to this. That's what I'm passionate about. It's about human connection, and as an artist, that's always been my purpose."
