NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 23, 2014) - Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter Cheri Keaggy partners with Lifesong for Orphans for Celebrate Life, a series of benefit concerts featuring Keaggy and the Zambia Children's Choir, which kicks off Sunday in Texas. Proceeds from the concerts will be used to care for orphans and their needs.

"I can't wait to hit the road with these kids," says Keaggy. "We had lots of fun rehearsing together. They worked so hard and their joy was beautiful to see. I know audiences are going to absolutely love them!"

Keaggy, who will perform songs from her current CD, So I Can Tell, as well as earlier hits from her career, will be joined onstage by the Zambia Children's Choir. In addition to singing with Keaggy, the six children from Lifesong's school in Kitwe, Zambia, will also perform traditional Zambian songs.

Keaggy's association with Lifesong for Orphans began several years ago when the non-profit used her song, "What Matters Most," for a promotional video. After attending a concert last year in Nashville, Keaggy was approached about joining the tour this year.

"This is an important work, an eternal work," says Keaggy. "I'm excited to see the great things God is going to do in our midst."
