Laurie Lee Lewis has created a "get and give" fundraising opportunity. Through sales, shows, and downloadable songs of her new CD, One to One, this project will benefit charities that serve animal welfare, children's well being, global drinking water, cancer research, and war veterans. CDs will also be available for small, non-profit groups to sell for their own fundraising needs. Laurie's songs are inspiring, honest and straightforward, akin to Loretta Lynn and John Denver. Each song addresses different emotions related to healing, life's journey, unity, loss, compassion, freedom, family, and service. The main focus is world betterment by helping each other "one to one" and viewing the world as our global family. The 16-songs are varied styles of country, pop, folk, Celtic, Dixieland, blues, and Latin.
Laurie grew up in a musical family. She began performing at age six, has written and released five CDs over the past 20 years, and toured as an opening act for several country stars. One Light became the first of Laurie's projects to raise money for charities. Peace Begins with Me, another CD, was released in Europe after 9-11 raising money for three charities and charted at #31 in the United Kingdom. What makes this humanitarian project extra special is the fact that is almost never happened. Last summer/fall, Laurie experienced three concussions in a row. She stated, "For four months, I felt totally disconnected from my music, so I purposely went into my studio and erased all the songs. About a week later, 'One to One' appeared on my recorder! I call this my 'concussion song' since I only faintly remember writing and recording it." She went on to say, "This song awakened me from the dark, allowing me to complete what I started with new clarity of purpose."
