The Outlaws & BlackHawk’s Seventh Annual Freeborn Jam Set For June 1

/by

Rock group The Outlaws and country band BlackHawk will hold their seventh annual Freeborn Jam on June 1 at City Winery Nashville.

Henry Paul, a founding member of both The Outlaws and BlackHawk, has continued Freeborn Jam as a tradition that helps a cause near and dear to his heart. In 2001, Van Stephenson, Paul’s friend and a fellow founding member of BlackHawk, passed away from melanoma. After his passing, BlackHawk established the Van Stephenson Memorial Cancer Research Fund.

“The survival rate for people who contract melanoma, the cancer that took Van’s life, has gone from no chance of survival to an 80 percent survival rate in the last ten years,” explains Paul. “That is why we do what we can to help.”

To date, the Van Stephenson Memorial Cancer Research Fund has donated over $500,000 to Vanderbilt for cancer research and nearly $150,000 to MusiCares.
