An evening of music to benefit the Rolling Riders will be at 7 p.m. Saturday at Longhorn R Arena in Tuscumbia. The Rolling Riders is a therapeutic horseback riding program for children and young adults with physical, mental and emotional disabilities.
Music will feature Nashville talents, Zac and Angela Hacker, David St. Romain, James LeBlanc and Mark McLemore.
Siblings Zac and Angela Hacker have a long bloodline of entertainers, from immediate family through cousins all the way to Elvis Presley. The siblings made history by competing against each other on the USA Network TV show Nashville Star. They earned their place in the show by being picked from a pool of 20,000 applicants. Auditioning separately in different cities, the producers of the show only became aware they were brother and sister when productions began. They were the last two contestants left at the end, with Angela ending up the winner of the competition.
James LeBlanc, a 10-year writer for Fame Music in Muscle Shoals, has written songs recorded by Travis Tritt, Gary Allen, Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts, Sara Evans, Joe Diffie, Clay Walker, Billy Ray Cyrus, Kenny Chesney, Martina McBride, Angela Hacker, and many others.
LeBlanc and Angela Hacker are currently touring promoting Hacker’s new CD. They collaborated on a balled titled “These Walls,” featured on the album.
Tickets for the event are $15 for adults and children 10 and under are admitted free. For more information about the Rolling Riders call (205) 740-8296.
The Rolling Riders is fully accredited by the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association, the advisory and regulatory agency for therapeutic horseback riding programs.
