Morris Higham Managment’s songwriter series “Songs for a Cause” returned June 21, to a sold-out house at Nashville’s historic Bluebird Cafe. The evening of song featured performances from GRAMMY, CMA, ACM, and DOVE Award-winning songwriter, Tia Sillers; GRAMMY, DOVE, and 35 time IBMA-Award winner, Jamie Dailey of Dailey & Vincent; Season 22 Winner of “The Voice” making his Bluebird debut, Bryce Leatherwood; and songwriter Jeffrey East. In addition, Grand Ole Opry matriach and GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter Jeannie Seely surprised the sold out crowd with a song she co-wrote with the late Glen Campbell.
In total, proceeds from the event tallied to $2500 benefiting Opry Trust Fund. Both Jamie and Jeannie spoke of their love and respect for Opry Trust Fund as Jamie is a former board member who worked through the COVID pandemic and Jeannie spoke of how the Fund helped her when she lost everything in the 2010 flood.
“The Opry is often referred to as a country music family,” said Dan Rogers, Opry executive producer and president of the Opry Trust Fund. “For nearly 60 years, that family has assisted members of the country music community in need through the Opry Trust Fund. With thanks to Opry members Jeannie Seely and Jamie Dailey as well as their friends plus so many others who will assist the Trust Fund this year, that important work is guaranteed to continue.”
