In January, Chad and Angel featured Daviess County High School, Sophomore, Annalee Yager, when she released her first musical single "Magnolia".  She came back to the studio this week to be a part of WBKR's St. Jude Radiothon

MEET ANNALEE YAGER

Annalee began piano lessons at the young age of 5.  She then became involved with the choir in middle school and has continued through high school.  She's only been writing music since she was 13 but didn’t start really getting involved in the music industry until she turned 15.  Now she's taking it on by storm writing music and recording her latest single.  She told us she likes all music genres but really loves organic pop.

MAKING A TRUE CONNECTION THROUGH MUSIC

Annalee says;  One thing I love to do is write down stories from different perspectives like magnolia. I think it’s important to practice this because it makes it easier to connect to people who are different than you and might not have all the same opinions as you.   I love getting to know people! I think it’s a beautiful thing to get to know someone whom you’ve never met and learn about how they’ve lived their lives!

She told us she's growing and learning daily on this music journey.  Currently, she's written over 13 different songs and has plans on writing more.

NOT JUST A SONGBIRD

Annalee is a Sophomore at Daviess County High School.  She is active on the swim, tennis, and golf teams.  This young lady is going to do big things and we cannot wait to watch her success.  This week Annalee joined the St. Jude Radiothon family as she stepped up to encourage our community to become a Partner-in-Hope.

BECOMING A PARTNER IN HOPE

You can support this amazing mission.  Angel here and you can join Chad and me along with many other folks in the community by becoming a St. Jude Partner-in-Hope. To do so, it's just $19 a month on a credit or debit card.  And becoming a St. Jude Partner is quick and easy.  During the radiothon, you're simply asked to call 1-800-201-8883.  That number will be active from 6 am CST on Thursday, February 3rd through 7 pm CST on Friday, February 4th.
