BLUEGRASS & MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

ALBERT PUJOLS AND SAM BUSH TEAM UP FOR “ONSTAGE IN THE OFF-SEASON”
Star-studded event Nov. 16 will benefit the Pujols Family Foundation
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – GRAMMY® Award winning multi-instrumentalist Sam Bush and his band will join forces with Major League Baseball slugger Albert Pujols for a night of entertainment at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center on Monday, Nov. 16
“Onstage in the Off-Season,” hosted by Bush, will also feature Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, John Oates, Jeff Black and several other special guests. Pujols, who is a three-time MVP, nine-time MLB All-Star and Roberto Clemente Award recipient, will take the stage to talk about the great work of the Pujols Family Foundation, which he founded with his wife, Deidre, in 2005. 
“It’s an honor to team up with Albert and this significant foundation,” Bush said. “It’s always exciting when I can play music with friends and musicians I respect, but knowing we’re up there doing what we love for a cause so worthwhile makes it all the more special.” 
The Pujols Family Foundation’s mission is twofold: to promote awareness, provide hope and meet tangible needs for children and families who live with Down syndrome, and to improve the standard of living and quality of life for impoverished children in the Dominican Republic through education, medical relief and tangible goods. 
“Down syndrome and the people of the Dominican Republic are two things dear to my heart,” Pujols said. “I’m grateful for Sam Bush and all the talented musicians taking time to raise awareness of the mission of the Pujols Family Foundation.” 
Tickets for the 8 p.m. event are available from $54 up to $177 for VIP packages, which can be purchased through the Schermerhorn at www.nashvillesymphony.org. Sponsors for the event are NFocus, Nashville Scene and radio station 102.5 The Game and 94.9 FM Game2.
