‘A Preshias Night Of Music’ Benefit Set For June 25
Preshias Harris
“A Preshias Night Of Music,” benefitting music creator advocate Preshias Harris, will take place on June 25 at 6 p.m. at Nashville’s 3rd and Lindsley. The event will feature performances by Brady Seals, Dave Gibson, Elvie Shane and more.
Harris is known for being a friend, guide, guardian and cheerleader for emerging songwriters and artists, giving them her time and talent for over three decades. In 2022, she was surprised at the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) Awards with the Friend of Songwriters medallion.
After suffering two heart attacks, bypass surgery and a serious fall, Harris has recently endured four hospitalizations in four months. These hospitalizations, in addition to the ones currently scheduled, have put her under considerable emotional and financial strain with mounting bills, even after the portion covered by insurance. Through all of the challenges, Harris aims to maintain her focus on her ‘kids’ (as she calls the songwriters and singers whom she mentors). She understands many of her ‘kids’ face financial concerns as they chase their dreams, so she keeps her fees affordable by working part-time night shifts at St. Thomas Hospital and takes no management fees or a share of their publishing.
