The Women and Cancer Fund is
a not-for-profit charity led by Dr. Alicia Alvarez and established in
the memory of Linda McCartney. Sir Paul McCartney has given his "whole-hearted blessing" to "Let Us In" Nashville,
a campaign led by Reviver Music to raise awareness and proceeds for
this charity which promotes prevention, lifestyle awareness, enhances
available health services and advocates advanced breast cancer and
children's cancer research.
On Monday, November 7th
a special benefit concert will be held at Nashville's legendary Ryman
Auditorium. The "Let Us In" Nashville benefit will kick off CMA Week in
appropriate fashion, and will be hosted by actor/musician Jeff Daniels
who will also be performing at the event. The concert will feature
performances by Sarah Darling, SHeDAISY, Steel Magnolia, Phil Vassar,
Cheyenne Kimball, Juliana Cole, Jeff Daniels, Nikki Shannon Fernandez,
Jordyn Shellhart, Chuck Wicks, Nancy Sirianni, Samantha Landrum, and Blue Sky Riders.
Each artist will be performing an original version of a Sir Paul
McCartney song, as well as songs from their respective catalog. Tickets are available now and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com.
Performers
for the "Let Us In" event, along with several other artists who are
unable to attend the live show have each contributed their original
version of a Sir Paul McCartney song for an album that will also benefit
The Women and Cancer Fund. Monday, November 21 will see the release of the charity-based collection "Let Us In" Nashville - A Tribute To Linda McCartney,
via Reviver Music and distributed by BDG/RED Distribution. The "Let Us
In" benefit event will also be filmed and recorded for a live DVD
release.
The following artists (alphabetical order) and songs will comprise the tribute album:
Blue Sky Riders (Kenny Loggins, Georgia Middleman and Gary Burr) - "Junk" Juliana Cole - "Bluebird" Jeff Daniels - "Heart Of The Country" Sarah Darling - "Blackbird" Tommy Emmanuel - "She's A Woman" Nikki Shannon Fernandez - "I Saw Her Standing There" Cheyenne Kimball - "Mull Of Kintyre" Samantha Landrum - "Pipes Of Peace" Timothy B. Schmit, Mark Hudson, Laurence Juber, Denny Seiwell - "Every Night" Ricky Skaggs - "Listen To What The Man Said"
SHeDAISY - "With A Little Luck"

The
social action agenda of The Women and Cancer Fund and the ongoing
mission of Reviver Music are dearly expressed via the "Let Us In"
Campaign. The words "Let Us In" were designed as a battle-cry and a
poignant declaration stating emphatically that women with cancer will
not be spectators of their own life.
