…Band partners with local non-profit HomeAid to help homeless families

LAS VEGAS ( March 22, 2010) - Bonafide, an internationally-acclaimed Reggae band, will launch its first CD in Las Vegas on April 2 at Town Square and donate 50% of the net proceeds from all Las Vegas CD sales to HomeAid. HomeAid renovates and maintains shelters for Southern Nevada’s homeless population.

The free Bonafide concert will be held at 2 p.m. in Town Square Park and feature songs from the CD Stay Strong, including the Jamaican hits “Sold Out” and “I’m Leaving." Fans can pick up the CD for $20.

Bonafide partnered with HomeAid because the band has a passion for bringing community together with music and philanthropy. The partnership will enable the renovation of multi-family housing and help families stay strong and stay together.

“Bonafide is very passionate about helping families that have lost their homes get back to their dreams and live a fulfilled life,” said Donovan “Junior” Stephens. “If everyone comes together, it will make for a better community. This is a great community, and I would like to invite everyone to join in and help with this important cause.”

Bonafide will perform three additional free concerts at Town Square Park on April 18 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.; April 24 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and April 25 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Bonafide has performed in Jamaica at the SumFest and Kings of Kings Festivals, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Hawaii.
