Brought together by a common passion for music and for seeing lives transformed, Press Play has exploded into a multimedia experience onstage. Both on and off-stage, the members of Press Play give their time to the vision of the Los Angeles Dream Center. The Dream Center, founded by Matthew Barnett, is a non-profit outreach dedicated to helping inner-cities across the U.S. providing food, clothing, shelter and daily needs to over 40,000 people every week, just in the Los Angeles market alone. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Matthew Barnett is providing solutions to our community and society’s troubling issues, such as human trafficking, abandoned teens, gangs, homeless families, drugs and violence.

The band performs for thousands of individuals from all walks of life each week in both New York and Los Angeles, making the L.A. Dream Center (www.dreamcenter.org) its home base.

All money and proceeds from the sale of the Life Is Beautiful project will go directly to the Dream Center, feeding, housing and clothing millions of people each month. Located in the heart of poverty, hopelessness and violence, the Dream Center provides shelter, life rehabilitation, education, basic needs, job training and numerous resources through their 273 programs and outreaches.
