Lunar Records', a joint venture company founded by Melody Trust, LLC, a subsidiary of HWAL, Inc., and the SI Blue Foundation-"Space Blue", impressive roster was represented through electrifying live performances. Scott Page, legendary saxophonist from Pink Floyd, joined forces with HWAL Inc. CEO and Lunar Records co-founder Roxie Green on drums and percussionist icon Gerardo Velez-known worldwide for his performances with Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock-on conga. Together, they delivered a rousing live rendition of the iconic "Gonna Fly Now" (the Rocky theme), channeling the spirit of perseverance, triumph, and heroism that defined the evening.
