Rock Ridge Music has recently partnered with Music Xray to seek new talent, and the fees received for all music submissions are being donated to Rock By The Sea<\/a>, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting charities delivering direct services. Says Rock By The Sea President Beth Gosnell:\u00a0 \u201cRock by the Sea is grateful to Rock Ridge Music and the partnership we have formed. \u00a0Our mutual love of music being used to showcase and support our charitable work is a perfect union. \u00a0We are a small charity with a big heart. \u00a0Rock Ridge’s willingness to help us raise money and increase exposure of our very worthy charities, as well as some very talented musicians, is phenomenal!\u201d<\/p>\n
