<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span">Proud son of New Jersey, <b>Richie Sambora</b>, is using his incredible artistry and voice to share the emotional journey of his native state in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.</span><br>
<br>
Richie has released a special edition of his song, <b>"I’ll Always Walk Beside You,"</b> with musical performances by
<b>Alicia Keys</b> on piano, <b>Aaron Sterling</b> on drums and <b>Curt Schneider</b> on bass, along with Richie on vocals and guitars. This single is available for download on
<b><a href="http://www.richiesambora.com">www.richiesambora.com</a></b> and 100% of the proceeds from each download will benefit the
<b>American Red Cross</b> and the ongoing disaster response and recovery efforts. The track, written and produced by
<b>Richie Sambora</b> and <b>Luke Ebbin</b>, takes on new meanings of hope and support in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, when so many have provided aid, financial help and comfort to those in need. A version of the song was previously released on his new solo
album <b><i>Aftermath of the Lowdown</i></b>. <br>
<br>
Additionally, Richie<b> </b>will perform as the house band for <b><i>The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
</i></b>during the week of <b>Monday, December 3<sup>rd</sup>, through Friday, December 7<sup>th</sup></b>, from
<b>12:37-1:37 AM ET/PT </b>on the <b>CBS Television Network</b>. In addition to providing music at the beginning and end of each segment, he will perform a variety of music from his solo career as well from Bon Jovi, including songs from
<b><i>Aftermath of the Lowdown</i></b>. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWU_QnRkUbI&feature=plcp">
<b>PRESS HERE</b></a> to watch the official video for his single <b>“Every Road Leads Home To You.”</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On <b><i>Aftermath of the Lowdown,</i> </b>Sambora takes a major departure from his previous major label releases -
<i>Undiscovered Soul (1998) </i>and <i>Stranger In This Town (1991) - returning</i> to his roots with a vital and visceral album of raw rock power. It <span style="color:black">illustrates the ups, downs and triumphs that Richie has experienced over the past
several years as he has dealt with his personal struggles in the public eye. </span>
<b>Richie Sambora</b> has sold over <b>130 million albums</b> <b>worldwide</b> during his career as a solo artist and with legendary rock band Bon Jovi. Sambora’s three-decade career with Bon Jovi includes 11 studio albums, three compilation albums, one live
album, one <b>Grammy Award</b> (plus eight nominations) and an induction into the
<b>Songwriters Hall of Fame</b>. <o:p></o:p></p>
