How The Black Keys Are Raising Money for Music Education While on Tour

The Ohio-hailing rock duo The Black Keys are continuing to use their platform for good.

The Black Keys—Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney—recently announced that they’ve re-upped their partnership with nonprofit Save The Music and the digital marketing platform Propeller. Together, the musical pair and their partners helped raise thousands of dollars for music education programs in Mississippi. This year, The Black Keys is helping Save The Music reach even more schools and their education programs all across Mississippi.

The rock group is offering prizes to fans who donate and support Save The Music. A donation to the nonprofit through The Black Keys giveaway will give fans a chance to win prizes like VIP soundcheck passes for the band’s upcoming Dropout Boogie Tour. Fans can also win exclusive merch and a trip to party with the band in a dive bar in Houston. Check out the giveaway HERE.

The Black Keys released their eleventh studio album, Dropout Boogie, in May of this year. The band is currently on tour to support the album. Check out tickets HERE and the tour dates below.
