New Lane Brody Album Due Out This Fall
Oscar-nominated Country artist Lane Brody recently served as one of two Honorary Chairs at the Down Syndrome Association of Middle Tennessee’s 5th annual Fall Fiesta, held Aug. 29, 2009.
The event was held at the Factory in Franklin, Tenn. and raised more than $40,000 for the organization. The evening included dinner, cocktails and multiple auctions, as well as a special performance by Brody that included a version of “Sing a Song” with help from the children in attendance.
Brody was then presented a plaque by the association for her work and designation as an Honorary Chair of this year’s Fall Fiesta fundraiser.
“It means so much to be involved with a wonderful organization like the Down Syndrome Association of Middle Tennessee and the terrific efforts they are making on behalf of those affected by this condition. I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to contribute to that in some small way,” said Brody. Visit www.DSAMT.org for more information.
The artist that scored a No. 1 hit with “The Yellow Rose of Texas,” Brody is busy this fall preparing for the release of her newest album, titled On the Wings of Songs. The first single, “Found in Each Other,” was produced by Brody and released earlier this year. On the Wings of Songs will initially be distributed online through a joint venture agreement with digital distribution label, GMV Nashville (www.gmvnashville.com).
Brody will also appear at the upcoming Rock your Country Soul event on Oct. 8 at Sound Kitchen Studios in Franklin, Tenn. The second annual concert benefits We Are Building Lives, a non-profit organization that helps homeless veterans.
