Relay For Life - Music and Live Performances for your event
Relay for Life is an overnight event that occurs in thousands of communities across the country and around the world where people come together to raise awareness and money for the fight against cancer. I have participated in these events for over a decade and have written or collaboratively written several songs such as "Celebrate," "What Would You Do," and "Every Candle Has A Name" that have been featured at Relays across the country and internationally. I also have two official videos created for my songs you can see below. These songs are available below as full versions, versions with no vocals for others to sing, and I'm available to perform live at your event. I'm an avid Relay supporter, and have helped to raise tens of thousands of dollars for the cause.
Sheet Music Now Available for "Every Candle Has A Name"
Due to many requests, I have finally created sheet music for "Every Candle Has A Name." It is an easy piano and vocal version (view sample page), and you can get it one of two ways.
- If you would like to buy a download (Adobe Acrobat PDF file) of the piano and vocal sheet music in the key of C for Every Candle Has A Name you can purchase and download it here for $3.95.
- If you would like the same sheet music but be able to choose a different key, you can choose your key and print a copy from ScoreExchange.com for just $4.95.
- NOTE: You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader for the $3.95 download, and you'll be prompted to download the Scorch plug-in for the $4.95 download.
As always, all proceeds benefit Relay for Life.
Performing at your Relay For Life Event or Fundraiser
I am also available to perform at your Relay for Life event or fundraiser. In partnership with some incredible Relay For Life volunteers around the country, I have performed at Relay fundraisers that have raised over $40,000 for the cause. If you are interested in having me perform, here is what I usually require:
- I do not charge to perform at a Relay For Life event, but I need my expenses covered - gas or airfare (I'm based in Atlanta), hotel, car rental if needed, meals.
- If I need to fly to your area, I will need equipment. In general, I like to have a keyboard with 88 weighted keys and a good piano sound (many home digital pianos such as a Casio Privia will work). I will also need a microphone, stand, and an amplifier or PA system.
- I would like the opportunity to play at a local restaurant/bar/venue or do a house concert on the preceeding or following night if possible. In addition to supporting the cause, I'd also like to try to make new fans while in your area. I ask that you help find and set up this additional show. Often this is a fun night for Relay volunteers to celebrate!
- If you have an event or fundraiser where you would like a trio or full band, I can work with you to arrange that as well. This typically requires covering expenses for (and sometimes payment of) musicians and rental of equipment, the amount depending if we need to fly or drive. While this has higher costs, I have had some very successful fundraisers, and I can connect you with Relay volunteers I have worked with in the past to do so.
- Often, local businesses will donate money or services (such as a hotel room) to cover my expenses. Also, I often use digital pianos from kind Relay participants!
I look forward to working with you to help make your Relay event or fundraiser a huge success.
