Just in Case you are in Nashville

 
 
NASHVILLE’S THIRD ANNUAL “BELLA BASH” –OCTOBER 21ST-- MAKES MUSIC THAT MATTERS FOR A WORLD OF SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS!
 
Radio’s ‘Delilah,’ American Idol’s Melinda Doolittle & Danny Gokey, Grammy Winner Russ Taff, & Nashville Based A-List Band ‘The Smoking Section’ Join All-Star Cast For Benefit Of Special Needs Children
 
(Nashville, Tennessee) –September 27, 2010 –Award winning Nashville singer/songwriter/producer Regie Hamm has a dream. A dream of a world where special needs children and the families that love them have an “Angel Center” in Middle Tennessee where comprehensive therapy, diagnosis, and support is available for those children most profoundly challenged with genetic and/or mental disabilities.
 
To help turn that dream into reality, on Thursday, October 21st, Regie will assemble a stellar list of celebrity friends for Nashville’s 3rd Annual “Bella Bash,” being held at the Loveless Barn on Highway 100 in West Nashville.  Already scheduled for the evening of “music that makes a difference,” guests including Delilah, the most listened to female voice in radio history, American Idol favorites Melinda Doolittle and Danny Gokey, multi-Grammy winning Christian artist, Russ Taff, and nationally known comedian, Henry Cho, will join Regie Hamm onstage with additional music by Tim Akers & the Smoking Section.  Celebrity red carpet is scheduled for 6:30 P.M with doors at 7:00 P.M.
 
The story behind the “Bella Bash” is a very personal one. In 2003, Hamm and his wife,Yolanda, flew to China to adopt their first child, Isabella Xin Meng Hamm.  Unknown to them at the time, baby “Bella” suffered from a rare genetic disorder, Angelman Syndrome. Often mis-diagnosed by doctors because of the rarity of the still incurable condition, “Angels” like Bella are missing a tiny piece of maternal chromosome that renders them in need of constant care throughout life.
 
In honor of Bella, the “Bella Bash” was established in 2008 as a evening of music dedicated to raising much needed funds and awareness of Angelman Syndrome and the myriad of rare genetic and mental disorders still in the shadows, and often mis-diagnosed. 
 
Regie, a multi-Grammy nominee and four time SESAC “Songrwiter of the Year,” has this year founded The Angel Wings Foundation.  The vision is to not only assist in providing diagnoses for those suffering from genetic and/or mental disabilities, but to be a complete resource for the families, providing physical, speech/communication and occupational therapies, nutritional, emotional, and logistical ‘real world’ support for those facing the challenge and their caregivers.  Registered as a 501(c)(3) non profit, The Angel Wings Foundation is dedicated to a quality of life and care for a segment of children too often under-served.
 
Long term goal of the newly formed Angel Wings Foundation is to ultimately establish an “Angel Center” here in Middle Tennessee.  Partnering with Vanderbilt Kennedy Center, plans are currently on the drawing board for a center that would offer a full array of medical services and comprehensive therapy for children and adults battling the most severe forms of genetic and/or mental disabilities.  It would be the first center of its kind in the U.S. 
 
Tickets are now on sale with general admission scaled at $20.00 in advance--$25.00 at the door. General admission with a fully loaded celebrity gift bag stocked with an assortment of goodies will be $40.00 in advance--$45.00 evening of the event.  Tickets can be ordered online athttp://www.bellabash.org – www.bellabash.org
 
Financial sponsors, donations and bag sponsors for the event, and volunteers are being actively sought. Sponsorship levels and full information on how to become a sponsor can be resourced at the event site online.  Deadline for sponsorship involvement is October 14th.  Additional information on participation and further event and ticket details can be resourced locally by calling Rutledge-Nash Management at (615) 345-9461.
 
As in the two previous presentations of the “Bella Bash,” a full evening of worldclass music, great comedy, delicious food, and fun await all attendees!  More than that, it’s an evening that matters.

No core country artist has crossed over more titles to AC. Rogers has scored eight AC No. 1s. Rogers: "I remember when [the AC charts] were established, I thought it was so cool. I've always been a believer in the strength of the song. My problem is I'm a country singer who's had a lot of other musical influences, so my stuff is going to tend to be more AC. That's always been my slam in country music, that I was never a true country artist, even though &q

They call her..The Bare Naked Bandit..29 yr Old Lee Grace Doherty

ARRESTED now in Colorado...but what a story and week for 2 brothers and their stripper sister! Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when... They shot at a law enforcement officer outside of Tampa Bay, Fla., and when they fired inside that bank in Valdosta, Ga. But these additional texts and tweets have given us additional insight," FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett told "Good Morning America" today. " We are concerned and feel that they are going to continue and cause problems to say the least for law enforcement." Ryan Dougherty, 21; his sister Lee Grace E. Dougherty, 29; and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, have been on the lam since Aug. 2 when they shot at a police officer attempting to pull their white Subaru Impreza over for speeding. A few hours later, they robbed a bank in G
