Making Indie Music News Saturday, January 7, 2006 is Amethyst at the Cobalt Cafe in Canoga Park

Amethyst is a singer/songwriter from the Conejo Valley who is a Veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom. She is to play Rock Music at the Cobalt Cafe in Canoga Park, CA...No smoking, No drinking, no cussing...no kidding! In this day of broken homes, confused identities, low self esteem and no place to go, teenagers need a place where they can be safe and listen to good music. Do you need a safe place to be where you can listen to music, but there is no smoking, no drinking of alcohol, no raves, no drugs, no cussing? You need to make a stop at the Cobalt Cafe in Canoga Park, California!

(PRWEB) January 5, 2006 -- Amethyst, the #1 Alternative performer at Buzzplay.com, is making Indie Music News as a former soldier in the US Army who toured Iraq to entertain the soldiers. She was very interested when she was asked to perform at the Cobalt Cafe. She has met lots of soldiers, both men and women, in the Armed Forces, who had lived a tough life and had low self esteem when they were growing up. One of her favorite things to do is to play music which will lift their self esteem and make hem feel better about themselves. She believes in giving back to the community, so when Jonathan Wright asked her to perform on January 7, 2006, for a fundraiser to help raise money for a heart transplant for a friend of the Cobalt Cafe, she was right there.

"It isn't often that you can help bring joy to kids lives and help someone get a new heart - this is a such a worthy cause. I'm hoping that many of my friends and fans will come down to show support. What a great way to start out the New Year", she exclaimed.

This is what Amethyst's music is about - healing and giving back to others. Her song Wake Up Call is about not waiting around until your last day on earth to speak up and make a difference in other's lives. "First start with yourself", says Amethyst, "Change you and be the changes you want to see in the world - like that movie, "Pay it Forward".
