In Nashville News, David Nail benefited from a random act of kindness Wednesday morning in Nashville. He was out in the freezing temperatures to fill up his car with gas when it happened. David tweeted, To the person who prepaid $20 on the gas pump I pulled up to, thank you. I love this stuff! Now gotta find a way to pay it forward.

Closest to our area: March 11 - Oshawa, ON, March 12 - Kitchener, ON and March 13 - Barrie, ON Link: whenthelightsgodowntour/ A Thank You from Dean Brody & the Team: A huge thank you to everyone who has supported our foundation over the past year. 2015 will bring many changes and challenges as we continue to seek an end to the exploitation of vulnerable girls around the world. It is indeed true that the three deadliest words in many countries are still - “It’s a girl”. Hundreds of thousands of young, innocent girls are born into a life of exploitation, abuse, and in many cases - death. This has to change. Meninadança has taken on this fight and as we move on from a partnership role with them to one of financial support, we are humbled and grateful to have been a part of helping the dream of The Pink House become a reality. We are excited for the future of Meninadança and the work they continue to do in Medina and future projects planned along the BR-116 Motorway. We would like to share this recent video of the girls at The Pink House caroling around the town of Medina over the Christmas holidays. We are so proud of all these girls and the extremely hardworking team in Brazil who are leading the fight for their dignity. We hope this brings a smile to your heart as it does ours. May 2015 be a blessed year for you all! ~ The Dean Brody Foundation team Link: https://facebook/pages/The-Dean-Brody-Foundation/368315203245104?fref=photo Big Machine Label Group president/CEO Scott Borchetta will receive the Presidential Award for Outstanding Executive Achievement at the Music Biz 2015 Awards Luncheon on May 14 at the Sheraton Nashville Downtown Hotel in Nashville.
