FEARLESS HERO

My good friend and singer-songwriter, Melissa Mulder-Albertson, is the lead singer of a band called Even Keel. If you have not already noticed, they frequent my blog - haha! Melissa was representing Team Georgia during our (Vancouver's) 2010 Olympics. Nodar Kumaritashvili tragically lost his life on a practice run just hours before the Opening Ceremonies. Nodar was supposed to carry the Georgian flag.

As placard bearer for Georgia, Melissa was extremely affected by this tragic loss and decided to dedicate one of her songs to the fallen athlete. FEARLESS HERO (written 2 years ago) was dedicated to Nodar, and played by (herself and) Even Keel during the Olympics. The concert, attended by CTV media, was played as a triute to Nodar. As a good friend of Melissa, I too, share this vision!

FEARLESS HERO is now available for download on iTunes and cdbaby. Net proceeds will be going to Nodar's family and to building a luge track in his home town!

Nodar, his family, the Georgian athletes, and the country of Georgia, will forever remain in our hearts, our thoughts, and our prayers! (Nodar Kumaritashvili - November 25, 1988 to February 12, 2010)
