June 2017 14 BIG STING 411 The weekend raises funds for the Shadows Foundation, which provides financial assistance and support services to Northern Arizona residents. THE LINE UP Wade Hayes Country music’s power has always been in its ability to reflect real life, and few artists have a stronger gift for capturing both heartache and hope than Wade Hayes. In the past few years, the singer/songwriter has navigated a complicated journey that has produced some of the most potent songs of his already impressive career. Surviving stage IV colon cancer, not just once but twice, has given Hayes a unique perspective of the fragility of life and the strength of the human spirit. Those lessons learned are embodied in the songs on Go Live Your Life. Ty Herndon is a master of the ties that bind. The Grammy-nominated and Dove award- winning recording artist has the ability to connect with an audience far beyond his onstage performance.
