MEMPHIS,
Tenn. (June 3, 2015) – Country music singer-songwriter John Rich will
again headline St. Jude Presents John Rich and Friends, an evening of
songs, stories and hope, Tuesday, June 9, at the Cannon Center for the
Performing Arts. Joining Rich this year are Lee Greenwood, Lorrie
Morgan, T.G. Sheppard, John Conlee, Frankie Ballard, comedians Williams
& Ree and his Big & Rich bandmate, Big Kenny.
Proceeds from the event, which kicks off the 2015 FedEx St. Jude Classic golf tournament week, benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®,
which is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats
childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Funds from this
event help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for
treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry
about is helping their child live.
Rich has a string of hits as a solo artist and with Big & Rich,
including “Comin’ to Your City,” “8th of November” and “Lost in the
Moment.” Fellow performers Lee Greenwood, Lorrie Morgan, T.G. Sheppard
and John Conlee have more than 30 No. 1 singles combined.
“I’m incredibly proud that the St. Jude Presents John Rich and
Friends charity event has grown into an amazing entertainment event over
the past four years, while continuing to support the kids of St Jude
Children’s Research Hospital,” said Rich. “It’s a blessing to be part of
an industry that has supported St. Jude so passionately for the past 30
years.”
