TWISTED SISTER's DEE SNIDER To Be Honored For His Philanthropic Work At 'Music Biz 2014 Awards Luncheon'

May 6, 2014

The Music Business Association (Music Biz),formerly known as NARM and DigitalMusic.org, will celebrate the philanthropic work of TWISTED SISTER frontman Dee Snider at the Music Biz 2014 Awards Luncheon on May 8 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. Sponsored by YouTube, the event will feature the presentation of the Harry Chapin Memorial Humanitarian Award to Snider.

Snider will be honored for his extensive philanthropic work, including efforts on behalf of Long Island Cares Inc., for which he organizes the annual Dee Snider's Ride motorcycle event; the Jam For Autism, which he organized in 2012 to benefit the Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center's special needs program; the March Of Dimes, where he served for several years as the Grand Marshal of the famed Bikers For Babies ride and donated his earnings from "The Celebrity Apprentice"; and the Gibson Girl Foundation and Station Family Fund, for which he performed at benefit concerts.

"Dee Snider's Rock & Roll Christmas Tale", starring and written by iconic rocker Dee Snider, directed by Adam John Hunter and produced by John B. Yonover, will play the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place (175 E Chestnut) November 4, 2014 through January 4, 2015. "Dee Snider's Rock & Roll Christmas Tale" will be part of the Broadway In Chicago 2014 Fall Season.

"Dee Snider's Rock & Roll Christmas Tale" tells the story of DÄISY CÜTTER, a heavy metal bar band looking to make it big even though the '80s are LONG over. This year, these four guys are ready to take the ultimate step and, in mythic rock tradition, sell their souls to the devil in exchange for success beyond their wildest metal dreams! But every time they try to seal the infernal pact, their headbanging anthems turn into warm-hearted carols. Soon these rockers are forced to realize their dreams of stardom are no match for the Christmas spirit.

In May 2012, Snider released both a memoir, "Shut Up And Give Me The Mic", and a showtunes album, "Dee Does Broadway".
