Bryson tours with his wife Jill Marie in their national touring act TROUBADUO.
Performing over 150 shows yearly, this powerful male/female soul singing duo places their emphasis on lyrics, vocals, guitars and percussive instruments to share their original tunes as well as songs from their favorite artists.
If you get a chance, please take a few minutes to view this beautiful video from an organization called "Preemptive Love" and a charity they started called "Buy Shoes Save Lives."
"Buy Shoes Save Lives" is a reputable non-profit that raises money and awareness to innocent children whose bodies have been highly affected by chemical warfare. So many of these children need new hearts. Preemptive Love and "Buy Shoes Save Lives" has made it possible for these children to live. Thousands of dollars for a heart transplant seems like so far away especially right now in our current recession. But I will tell you that lives are being saved. Eight children went in for surgery the beginning of February 2009 and there will be many more to come.
It IS possible to make a difference. Even if you cannot donate to this amazing cause, share Preemptive Love with at least one other person and keep checking back to www.PreemptiveLove.org to watch the miracles of life unfold before your eyes.
*Special thanks to our friend Cody Fisher and the rest of the staff at Preemptive Love for your selfless acts of love and all of the lives you have saved*
