Park City, UT -Jan 25, 2010 - Pras Michel (from The Fugees) headlines a star-packed acoustic fundraiser, Turn the Lights On for Haiti, this Monday at the Harry O's Live lofts, 438 S Main (above Flanagans) from 5pm to 9 pm. Pras is available for interview and performance at the Lofts at 8. He will perform a special acoustic session at 5pm at the Music 4 Peace Tour Lounge (592 Main) that will be streamed live on SwaggMedia.com.

 Additional live music performances to be held at the Lofts (across from Harry O's) include Tiler Hilton, Kevin Sharp, Cameron Rafati, John Allred, Vedera and Wisebird.

Funds from the benefit will be used to bring briefcase-sized solar powered generators to Haitians left in the dark by the recent earthquake disaster.

A guitar signed by Ben Affleck, John Legend, Tommy Lee Jones and many others has been donated by the Swagg Media's Music 4 Peace Tour that will be put up for auction with proceeds going to the relief effort. There will be live celebrity pledges of support, live streaming of music and credentialing to celebs, press and donors. All press interviews will be held at the Harry O's Loft after proper credentialing has been received.

The producers of Lights On, Sam Salisbury, Steve Ketter and Jeff Toolan, will collect donations through our partnership with the prAsperity Project, via SMS Donation Campaign, Online Donations via Swagg Global Streaming and Merchant Account, and through in-person video pledges at our Loft.
