12/17/2024: BXRP is so excited to partner with Steve Bennett at the R & E May School (part of St. Catherine's Center for Children) to help supplement their music studio and program! Thanks to donations we were able to purchase and donate brand new high quality equipment and will continue to add more in 2025! Fostering positive behaviors and helping these young kids express themselves through music is exactly what this project strives to achieve every day!

8/8/2025- see photo below (with the sick sea foam green guitar) for the latest donation to the R & E May School 🎸🥰

The Benjamin X. Rowe Project (BXRP) Sound Library is OPEN! With the help of CZR Entertainment and many other volunteers, we now have state of the art sound equipment (& a drum set) for those in the Capitol Region DIY music community to borrow for shows, practices, and larger scale events. This would not be possible without the help of CZR and so many others, the support through donations, benefits, shirt purchases, and the vision and hard work of Ben’s friends and the community. Thank you for everything and helping keep Albany On Top and Ben’s dream alive ❤️
