RAPID CITY \u2013 A special concert for veterans and their supporters will be taking place on Veteran\u2019s Day in Rapid City. Organized by Stardust Red Bow, Local Recovery Coordinator\/Intensive Community Mental Health Recovery \u2013 RANGE Program Manager of the VA Black Hills Health Care System, the Veterans Recovery Concert will be a one-time, unique outreach and therapeutic event for Veterans in the Black Hills area. The audience is limited to Veterans, Service Members, and their family and friends. She has been with the VA for the past seven years.
\nAccording to Red Bow, the purpose of this free concert is to promote suicide prevention and recovery and honor veterans by giving them an opportunity to attend a concert in an environment suitable for those who are diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, substance use disorder, seizure disorder, or other physical and mental illnesses.
\nThe event will be taking place on Monday, Nov. 11, 2019 \u2013 Veterans Day, at the Western Dakota Tech Event Center, 800 Mickelson Dr, Rapid City. Doors will open at 6:00 PM. The concert has FREE General Admission to Veterans, Service Members and Support Persons (must show VA ID, Military ID, or DD-214 at the entrance).
\n\u201cMusic is healing and I wanted to give veterans an opportunity to go to a concert, and be comfortable in the environment, to not be triggered with anything that we might do at the concerts,\u201d said Red Bow.\u201d The types of triggers which can cause discomfort to veterans with PTSD would include flashing lights, strobe lights, pyrotechnics, and other visuals sometimes associated with rock concerts. According to Red Bow, these can trigger seizures and other types of experiences for veterans.
\nThe concert area will have booths from nonprofits and other agencies who serve veterans in the community. These booths will have information available for resources in the Black Hills area for veterans and service members. The VA Black Hills Health Care System covers western South Dakota, including into North Dakota and onto the Standing Rock Reservation. They also parts of Nebraska and Wyoming.
\nAlthough Red Bow is serving as concert promoter for the event, she has had help from others in the community. \u201cThe recovery concert was my idea and with planning it, I\u2019ve taken the lead on it and the direction that it is going. FourFront Design is the sponsor for the concert. VOA (Volunteers of America) have also partnered with us,\u201d said Red Bow. \u201cMy mom has been helping, as well.\u201d
\n\u201cThere is evidence that proves that people who listen to music that has positive lyrics, it increases the listener\u2019s positive and optimistic feelings. And improves their concentration. Tantric has very positive lyrics and they are a great group of guys,\u201d she said. \u201cThey have a history of promoting suicide prevention efforts and of working with and supporting veterans and the military.\u201d
\nAccording to Red Bow, currently there are twenty veterans who commit suicide per day. This alarming statistic is what keeps her motivated to continue in her work with the VA system, and the many veterans she serves. This concert was designed to help veterans enjoy music without the major light shows held at other venues and events.
\nThe concert is open to all veterans, whether they are not enrolled in the VA, said Red Bow. \u201cService members are welcome to bring their family and friends. That was another reason to do the concert- to help them improve their relationships and give them an opportunity to do something with their friends and family.\u201d
\nIn her line of work, Red Bow has heard countless stories of the role music played in the lives of veterans while they were deployed. These songs become anthems in the lives of veterans. \u201cThe music that they took with them on their deployments help them cope with being away, and get through their military service and connect them with something familiar,\u201d she said.
\nRed Bow has confidence in the band she has chosen for the event. She likes all of the band\u2019s music, but says a favorite for veterans from Tantric\u2019s songs is a song called \u2018Down and Out\u2019. \u201cMusical choices are personal, but I guarantee that anyone who comes will like a song that they play.\u201d
\n\u201cThe point of the concert is to promote recovery, for people to improve their health; whether it\u2019s mental health or physical health,\u201d she said. \u201cCome out, and enjoy the concert. It\u2019s going to a casual, fun event and support other veterans by being there.\u201d
\nTantric will be the band performing at the event. They are post grunge rock group based in Louisville, KY. They have produced six studio albums over the years. Their music is reminiscent of the early to mid 1990\u2019s style of music, which was groove laden and guitar rich. They have thick vocal harmonies and easy to follow vocal melodies. The band has been together for two decades, and although the band has gone through changes, front man, Hugo Ferreira has kept the soul of the band intact.
\nThe band is made up of:
\n\u2022 Hugo Ferreira
\nLead vocals, rhythm guitar (1999\u2013present), bass, keyboards (2013 session only)
\n\u2022 Jaron Gulino
\nBass, backing vocals (2017\u2013present)
\n\u2022 Sebastian LaBar
\nLead Guitar, rhythm guitars, backing vocals (2017\u2013present)
\n\u2022 Ian Corabi
\nDrums (2019\u2013present)
\nThe band is excited to come play for veterans and their supporters in Rapid City. Stardust Red Bow is inviting service members to come jam on Veteran\u2019s Day. This will be an opportunity to network and meet new friends.
\n\u201cWe love to play, but it\u2019s always an honor to perform and give back to those who were willing to give the ultimate sacrifice.\u201d Hugo Ferreira
