We are proud to announce that we will be performing at 25 U.S. Army bases between Jan 29 and March 22, including Europe. The tour, which is part of the U.S. Army’s I. A.M. STRONG campaign to prevent sexual assault, will feature AO, singer Leigh Jones and comedian/MCs Jessi Campbell and Drew Thomas. At each tour stop, AO will present a set of their own material and will then perform as Leigh Jones’ backing band. Check out all the tour dates here.

I. A.M. STRONG is the Army’s campaign to combat sexual assaults by engaging all Soldiers in preventing sexual assaults before they occur. More information about this program, which Animate Objects is proud to support, is available here.

This is not the first time that we’ve performed for US military personnel. In October 2007, we visited Guantanamo Bay, Honduras and Jacksonville, FL as part of an Armed Forces Entertainment tour. That trip lead to a feature article in the Dec 1, 2007 issue of Billboard Magazine and a great recap article in AFE’s Cadence Magazine.
