Connor Bracken and Mother Leeds Band and Twin Lights Brewing Team Up for Fourth Year to Support Local Music Education

originally published: 03/07/2025

(MATAWAN, NJ) -- Mother Leeds Band is thrilled to announce the fourth year of its collaboration with Twin Lights Brewing. This partnership brings back the popular "Mother Leeds" Irish Red beer, with proceeds benefiting The Project Matters (TPM), theprojectmatters.org a local organization dedicated to supporting school music programs.

"We're truly thankful to Twin Lights Brewing and Connor Bracken and the Mother Leeds Band for partnering with The Project Matters to support local school music programs. Their generosity will make a real impact on the lives of countless students” says Karen High of The Project Matters.

In a exciting coincidence, the beer release was announced on the same day as the "Mother Leeds" live show, which has already sold out. The high demand for the show is a testament to the enduring popularity of the "Mother Leeds" brand and the enthusiasm of local music fans.

The "Mother Leeds" Irish Red beer will be available at bars, restaurants, and where packaged goods are available. A full list of locations can be found on the Twin Lights Brewing website.

"We are excited to continue our partnership with Twin Lights Brewing and support the important work of The Project Matters," said Connor Bracken, Mother Leeds Band.

"Knowing that our efforts are helping kids access music education is incredibly fulfilling," added Connor Bracken. "We are grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in our community."
