JONNY
DUBOWSKY
Iggy Pop meets Al Gore. That's the best way to describe the unique and spirited work of Jonny Dubowsky, lead singer of the popular rock band Jonny Lives, and founder of Rock'n'Renew, a non-profit organization that educates youth about global warming and the sustainability of our planet.
"I have seen the powerful effect of uniting people to make even the smallest earth-saving changes in their daily lives," Jonny Dubowsky says. Dubowsky has been playing CBGB since he was a teen and his band, Jonny Lives, who are being hailed as rock's "next big thing," has appeared on Conan O'Brien and played in front of packed audiences around the country. Amidst this success, Dubowsky has been touring in a converted biofuel bus and promoting Rock'n'Renew to overwhelming response and support from activists, students, teachers and the press.A unique interdisciplinary educational program, Rock 'n Renew encourages students to take action on climate change, alternative fuels and renewable energy through their classes, their artwork, their music and other media. The Rock 'n Renew school has classrooms on 62nd Street in Manhattan, backstage at rock concerts, and at various other venues throughout the world. With the support of Blondie lead singer Debbie Harry, actor Kal Penn, and Laurie David (founder of stopglobalwarming.com and a producer of An Inconvenient Truth ), Dubowsky's plan of action for students involves using their favorite bands and their interest in popular culture to raise awareness for environmental sustainability.Recent Rock'n'Renew initiatives include partnering with the National Clean Cities program to teach students green concepts, and setting up school visits for high-profile artists to play concerts and discuss sustainability. At his own talks, an impassioned Dubowsky challenges audience members to really think about the way their actions will define what kind of person they are going to become, and what their impact on the world will be.Jonny Lives! is currently working on their 2nd album, and Jonny will perform in London, Barcelona, Madrid, Belgium, and Scottland this summer. Get Steady will be released in Europe at the end of 2007, and is available in the U.s right now!
