A Texan "Eclectic" Rock Music Charity Show on the Golan Heights
"LOVE IS THE ANSWER"
NASHVILLE, Tennessee, March 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Grammy-nominated music artist JOHN FORD COLEY headlines a concert at the Kfar Haruv Peace Vista overlooking the Sea of Galilee April 13, 2017. The Golan Heights show benefits ILAN Israel, a nonprofit organization serving special needs children and families. The concert bill also includes American songwriter Shakeh and harpist Susan Mashiyama.
Coley says, "I have always been in love with Israel, even as a young child. It fascinates me, captivates me, and stirs my imagination and soul. When asked to do this show for ILAN, I got excited to do something so worthwhile for children." Kids from ILAN will sing with Coley at the show. Coley has travelled to Israel numerous times and is a passionate supporter of the country. He also plays events for the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. and sings at the Nashville Chabad's annual Jewish Hanukkah Candle Lighting.
Coley is most revered as half of the rock duo, England Dan Seals and John Ford Coley. Together they earned a wall of multi-platinum (2 million+), platinum (1 million+) and gold (500,000+) worldwide records, including #1 hits in Israel. "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight," "Nights Are Forever Without You," "We'll Never Have To Say Goodbye Again," "It's Sad To Belong," "Gone Too Far" and "Love Is The Answer" dominated Top 40 Radio. Their music remains in active radio rotation.
Coley's performance in Israel coincides with his new double album, "Eclectic," produced with Tom Wurth. The hard-edged collection features a rockin' band on one CD and an acoustic sound on the second. Country music superstar Vince Gill leads the pack of preeminent Nashville royalty on this superb career release. New songs include "The Beach Boys Song," "Cottonmouth Grove," "Odd Man Out," "Should Have Never Left Texas," and "Quiet Victory," an instrumental dedicated to Holocaust survivors.
The Texan "Eclectic" Rock Show features songs from throughout Coley's career and is produced by The Fourth Way World, LLC & REM Management.
John Ford Coley is available for media interviews from Nashville, or from Israel Thursday, April 13 at the Sea of Galilee, and Tuesday, April 18 from Jerusalem.
