Jimmy Barnes is one of a dozen Aussie acts including Joe Camilleri, John Butler Trio, Katie Noonan and The Cat Empire contributing to #SayYesToLove Vol 1, an album for Marriage Equality.
The album will be released digitally through iTunes this Friday, July 17.
Jimmy Barnes said this about his involvement in the campaign, “This is about basic human rights. No one has the right to tell someone who they can love, or how they can express their love. Love is about caring for, and sharing your life with the one you love, and if the act of marriage helps to make that connection stronger in the eyes of the people sharing that life or in the eyes of the law then they should be encouraged, it should not be made more difficult. It is very hard to find love in this world and we don’t all feel the same way about what love is but it is the most important thing that I have in my life and I support people who want to share their lives together anyway they want to do it.”
The contributing artists include:
Jimmy Barnes
John Butler Trio
Wes Carr
Katie Noonan’s Vanguard
The Basics
Josh Pyke
L-FRESH THE LION
Joe Camilleri
Darren Percival
The Cat Empire
C Major and Veneno
Fiona Joy
Ivan Hinton-Teoh, Campaign Director for Australian Marriage Equality (AME) said “Every day, Australians are finding new and innovative ways to get behind the marriage equality campaign. I am delighted to be part of #SayYesToLove and I hope it inspires more to find their voice to champion for equality.”
All tracks have been donated to help raise funds for the Australian Marriage Equality Campaign. Further volumes are planned.
