"I've been working on new music for a while and have
been so looking forward to releasing it this year. When it became clear to me that my first
single would drop during the height of the Corona crisis, the only thing that
felt right to me was to turn the release into a charitable endeavor. In keeping
with the intention of the #SunshineSongs campaign (to bring light to a dark
time) the accompanying video for ‘Sucker' is a compilation of how so many of us
are spending our time; from quarantine to the frontlines. It is meant to be a
love letter to America, especially our first responders and those being of
service during this unprecedented time. We are all in this together."
In the midst of an illustrious career spanning Broadway,
film, and television, Tony® Award-winning actress, singer, author, and
philanthropist Laura Benanti now brings a longstanding dream to life as she
gears up to release new solo music with Sony Music Masterworks. With Broadway credits ranging from the My
Fair Lady revival and Steve Martin's Meteor Shower to She Loves Me, Laura
garnered a Tony® Award in the category of "Best Featured Actress in a
Musical" for the 2008 production of Gypsy-among five career nominations to
date. Meanwhile, her performance in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
would be honored with the Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Circle Award for
"Best Featured Actress in a Musical." Simultaneously, she enchanted
audiences on the small screen, appearing on Younger, Supergirl, Nashville, The
Good Wife, Nurse Jackie, and more in addition to films including WORTH and the
upcoming Here Today.
Together with communities, FoodCorps connects kids to
healthy food in school. Now that the COVID-19 pandemic has forced school
closures, our 250 service members, spanning 375 schools in 18 states and
Washington, D.C., are helping with emergency meal services, remote food and
nutrition lessons that reinforce academic priorities, and garden cultivation
for community building and local nourishment. FoodCorps is also mobilizing its
nationwide network of partners and allies to advocate for policies that will
help schools keep kids nourished through this crisis and beyond. Through our service
and advocacy, we seek to demonstrate the power of food in schools and ensure
our country's policies and food systems work together to nurture every child's
potential. Learn more at foodcorps.org.
