Tonight! Will Read and Sing show features award-winning guitarist/singer, Wilber

WILL READ AND SING FOR FOOD is hosting a very special show during national child abuse prevention month to benefit Southwestern Indiana Child Advocacy Center Coalition (SWICACC) Tuesday April 5th, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. at KlubHaus 61, 2031 Newton Street, Jasper.

Here is a feature we published on how SWICACC helps children victims of abuse.

Special musical guest is singer-songwriter Jason Wilber, who sings and plays guitar for the legendary John Prine. Touring with Prine for many years, Wilber has played on every prominent stage imaginable—Carnegie Hall, London Palladium, Red Rocks, the Ryman, and appears on Prine’s Grammy award-winning album and two other Grammy-nominated albums. Wilber’s new CD, Echoes, will be released in April.

Special guest motivational speaker is Jenna Quinn, a triumphant survivor of sexual abuse and a valiant warrior against sexual abuse of children and adolescents. A poised and charismatic speaker with a master’s degree in communications, Jenna has traveled the country making speeches to law-enforcement and abuse-prevention groups. Her namesake bill, “Jenna’s Law,” passed the Texas senate, making it the first child abuse prevention law in the U.S mandating K-12 trainings for students, all school staff, and parents. “Jenna’s Law” addresses sexual abuse and other forms of maltreatment.

Three other guests are singer-songwriters Andrea Wirth (Evansville) and Daniel Market (Muscle Shoals, Ala.) and writer Jon Webb, who is metro editor and columnist for the Evansville Courier.

Regular WRASFF players in this show include Scott Saalman, Debbie Schuetter and Kyle Lueken.

SWICACC, directed by Tammy Lampert, is a non-profit agency that provides safe reporting locations for victims of crime and their families. It provides forensic interviewing services to children reporting abuse in 7 counties, including Dubois, Crawford, Daviess, Martin, Orange, Perry, and Spencer. Since opening its doors in 2009, it has provided services to over 1000 children of abuse.

The show includes a cash bar and appetizers. Admission is a $10 or more donation to SWICACC. The artists will be selling and signing their music after the show. Attendees can enter for a chance to win Big Splash tickets!!!
