Award-Winning Singer/Songwriter, Shawn Byrne, Set To Perform At Nashville’s RelayLIVE
RelayLIVE, a free and reimagined version of Nashville’s traditional American Cancer Society Relay For Life event, makes its debut here in Music City on Saturday, April 23. Everyone is invited to come fight cancer at every stage from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Cumberland Park, just south of Nissan Stadium.
SESAC award winning singer/songwriter, Shawn Byrne, is one of the ten talented local artists scheduled to perform at this year’s event.
“My mother is a two-time cancer survivor and was recently diagnosed with leukemia so this organization means a lot to me,” says Shawn. “RelayLIVE is an opportunity for me to mix my passion for music with my passion for this amazing cause. I’m honored to be able to be a part of this and hopefully will get to brighten someone’s day.”
Other performers include Alanna Royale, Stella//James, Jordan DePaul, Nikki Williams, Megan Davies, Raquel Cole, Zeke Duhon, Jenn Bostic and Daphne Willis.
Teams will raise funds through food sales, games, and other engaging activities at the park to support the programs and services of the American Cancer Society. The festivities will also include a POUND workout, line dancing and fun contests.
Cancer survivors are invited to come enjoy a catered dinner from Puckett’s Grocery, free massages and a special sitting area to listen to the day’s music. Sponsors include Bandit Lights, Service Management Systems, Bone McAllester Norton, and Alex Makes Things.
