The Children's Advocacy Center of Hamilton County, Inc. will present its
sixth annual "A Song for the Children" benefit concert on October 18th,
2007, at the Tivoli Theatre. This year's entertainment will feature
Grammy Award-winning country vocalist, Vince Gill, who is back by
popular demand.

 

Vince Gill is widely known as "The Ambassador of Country Music", as
evidenced by 18 Grammy awards, 18 CMA honors (including Entertainer of
the Year and Song of the Year four times) and 22 million in album sales.
Songs such as "When I Call Your Name," "Never Knew Lonely," "Look At
Us," "I Still Believe In You," "One More Last Chance," and "Whenever You
Come Around" have topped the charts, and he has been honored with
numerous career achievement awards. To date, Gill has earned more CMA
trophies than any other single country artist, has hosted the annual CMA
Awards for 14 consecutive years and currently serves as president of the
Country Music Hall of Fame. In 1999, Gill was inducted into the Oklahoma
Music Hall of Fame, and in 2000, he was named NSAI Songwriter/Artist of
the Decade. Gill's prodigious talent, legendary compassion and quick wit
have made him the face that country music likes to show the world, and
recently, The Country Music Association announced that Gill will become
one of the newest members of the coveted Country Music Hall of Fame. In
March 2000, Gill married music legend Amy Grant who joined him on stage
in April 2006 for the fifth annual "A Song for the Children" concert.
