Making a Stand

If asked who was the most influential vocalist that inspired, almost every metal musician would say Ronnie James Dio. Ronnie touched a lot of hearts and souls while he was with us, while his music is still standing strong today. A newly formed group LeRoii XIII has made a stand for the music they love, and for the “Stand Up and Shout” Ronnie James Dio Cancer Fund with their recording of the Dio classic “Stand Up and Shout”.

LeRoi XIII has an all-star lineup comprised of singer Terry LeRoi (Granny 4 Barrel), guitarists Troy McLawhorn (Evanescence), Sammy Boller, bassist Aaron Pauley (Of Mice and Men), and drummer Will Hunt (Evanescence). 100% of the proceeds/profits from this song go to the Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund (for the mission of support, research, and education that furthers early detection, prevention, and treatment of prostate, colon, and stomach cancers).

Metal Express radio’s Bryce Van Patten talks with Terry LeRoi about “Stand Up and Shout”, the great Ronnie James Dio tune that he’s recorded with LeRoi XIII to benefit the Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund. Terry talks about his Love of RJD, how the song and people came together, and more.
