Jordin Sparks & The Rhythm Riders Mix It Up For Charity Concert Phoenix Az Feb 20th

Feb. 7, 2009 - PRLog -- Shriner’s Children’s Hospitals Selected as Beneficiary

Phoenix, AZ - The surviving friends and family of Phoenix resident Toni Davenport who recently passed away from cancer wished to do something in her memory to help others as she had done in life. The idea of having a concert in the Phoenix area to raise money for a great cause in her name was developed. The Shriner’s Children’s Hospitals was selected as the beneficiary of this show.

The Rhythm Riders from Auburn California, a world class Johnny Cash & Patsy Cline Tribute band and friends of the Davenport group were invited to head up the show. The Rhythm Riders manager Anthony Kessman contacted Jordin Sparks’s management and invited her to participate and she agreed to perform a full set with her band. From there a variety show format and friends list was developed and the show is now growing in scope and size.

The Rhythm Riders are the worlds top Johnny Cash & Patsy Cline Tribute Bands. Imagine Jordin Sparks singing a duet with Johnny Cash or Patsy Cline or with Maddie Lauer and so on.
