These talented artists are performing for the Joshua Chamberlain
Society of Nashville to raise funds for local severely wounded
military men and women. THE CAUSE The goal of the Joshua Chamberlain
Society/Nashville is to aid severely wounded military service members
and families of killed-in-action service members who sacrificed all
for our Nation who are from Middle TN. JCS/Nashville is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit charity with all funds raised going to aid our heroes. We
believe our mission is unique because we adopt these severely wounded
soldiers as JCS/Nashville heroes and stay with them for the remainder
of their lives… Just as their injuries will be with them for the
remainder of their lives. JCS/Nashville has now adopted our first
Hero, Cpl. Jeremy Voels. Jeremy is paralyzed from the chest down due
to injuries sustained in Afghanistan in 2010. JCS/Nashville was able
to have an all handicapped accessible addition added to his parents’
home near Clarksville so he could come home and be with his family
after being in hospitals for four years. It will always be a challenge
to raise funds to aid our current hero, Cpl. Voels and ultimately more
heroes in the future. Through the support of our community, we feel we
can meet this challenge. We thank you for your interest and hope you
will join our JCS/Nashville family for an evening of inspiration and
extraordinary entertainment. THE ARTISTS SCOTT MACINTYREScott

NASHVILLE – Stray Dawgs is a “flexible” Americana compilation
that varies from time to time featuring “A Team” Nashville

career that dates back to the 60’s when he and “Mama” Cass
Elliott were in a band called “The Big Three”. Hendricks and
Elliott formed another group called “The Mugwumps” with several
other notable musicians, including John Sebastian. That group later
split into two groups, “The Lovin’ Spoonful” and The Mamas and
The Papas”. Hendricks wrote “Summer Rain”, a huge hit for Johnny
Rivers. Phil ”Delta” Dildine is also a veteran musician and
fronted the five time WAMI Award winning group in the Midwest, “Phil

of the group’s original songs that focus shining light on the plight
of Wounded Military Heroes. YATES AND KEVIN MCKENDREE – Kevin

McLaughlin is a tasty, rootsy gem." says David Wild, Rolling Stone
Magazine. Peter Cooper, Music Columnist for The Tennessean, attempts
to capture McLaughlin’s unique talent and style as "Groove and Soul,
slink and stutter, groove and soul, wisdom and pain, groove and soul."
Michael Ross, No Depression Magazine, sums up Pat as "Four corners is
a single point in America where the states of Utah, Colorado, Arizona,
and New Mexico meet. Pat McLaughlin's music is similarly a convergence
point, where R&B, country, pop, and rock 'n' roll conjoin."
