Rimes to Headline VH1 Fundraiser

LeAnn Rimes will headline the VH1 Save the Music Foundation’s Songwriters Music Series Napa, presented by William Hill Estate Wines and Raymond Weil. The event will take place Thursday, September 20, 6:30-10 pm at William Hill Estate in Napa and follows the April 2012 series kick off with Robin Thicke.

“I am thrilled to be a part of the VH1 Save The Music Foundation’s Songwriters Music Series,” said Rimes. “Music is such an important part of my life and I’m happy to help spread awareness about the incredible work VH1 Save The Music is doing to keep music education programs in our schools. I look forward to a great show!”

The Songwriters Music Series, which originally featured performances by Jewel, Darius Rucker, Rob Thomas and more, got a reboot in 2011. The newly re-launched version featured performances by The Band Perry, Glee star Matthew Morrison, Colbie Caillat and Andy Grammer. Since 2011, it has raised over $388,000 for 12 music education programs nationwide.

Tickets for the event are sold out, but individuals can pledge support with the purchase of a t-shirt to benefit Save the Music. Details here.
