Meghan Cary’s River Rock Project with Bruce Hilliard

“The River Rock Project is a celebration of women and all that we’ve achieved in the 100 years since we fought for - and won - the right to vote. And all we still have to achieve. It is about galvanizing women to get out the vote; to raise our voices and be heard. I sing this song for all the women who have been brave and bold enough to speak their truth, even when society doesn’t want to hear it. This is River Rock.” - Meghan Cary

What To Do: Make a Video with Your Message

  • Listen to "River Rock", and learn the lyrics to the chorus (HERE).
  • Create a video of YOU:
  1. Tell us who you are, and share why you're raising your voice (your message of equality, justice, or voting rights): "Hi, my name is___ and I'm singing for___"
  2. Play this MP3 of the song (that begins just before the 2nd chorus) on a device other than the one you're using to record.
  3. Sing (or lip synch or just speak the words) along with the choir from the 2nd chorus through to the end. Don’t worry about the audio quality, we'll just use the visual part of your recording to bring the song to life. Your energy, enthusiasm, and message (see above) is what we want to add to this project.
  • Fill out this simple form and upload your video (HEREby MAY 20th.
  • Raise your voice with women+ around the world - unite, inspire change, and nourish one another!!

Bruce Hilliard

Born in Seattle, raised in Aberdeen WA, Bruce Hilliard is a singer, guitarist and songwriter with a song list influenced mostly by pop/folk rock of the 60s-80s. He has been an opener for Heart, the Ramones, Dr. Hook, Wishbone Ash and Eric Burdon.
Early in his career Bruce completed Bachelor Degrees in Music and Journalism from Washington State University and, while never allowing a hiatus from performing and songwriting, joined corporate America in marketing and sales. That rocky road led him back to his passion and now records and performs live and with great appreciation to be back in his jam.
He currently resides in Mukilteo WA and hosts the Better Each Day Podcast Radio Show. His musician interview based show has featured recording artists including John Oates; Grand Funk Railroad’s frontman Mark Farner; Steve Fossen, bass player and co-founder of Heart; drummer Carmine Appice; and Dave Bickler, lead vocalist (Eye Of the Tiger) of Survivor. The weekly half hour show has over 181 episodes and is becoming a strong platform for musicians of all levels to showcase their music and their backstories.
