Janey Street and special songwriter guests Janis Ian, Stephanie Bentley, Sam Tate, Lance Carpenter and Rob Wolf helped raise close to $1700 for Gilda’s Club Nashville, a cancer support group. The songwriting event was held July 11 at City Winery. Street’s new album, My Side of Paradise is now available on Blue Élan Records. Label president Kirk Pasich matched the donation from proceeds of the album release party for a grand total of more than $3300.

“We are so grateful that Janey chose to support Gilda’s Club Nashville with this CD launch concert,” said Executive Director Sandy Obodzinski. “Every day, someone walks through our doors for the first time in need of cancer support, and Janey’s commitment to Gilda’s Club Nashville will help ensure that we can continue to deliver community and social support at no charge.”
