Anita Cochran

Country singer Anita Cochran’s Love Anchors Fund is docking soon in Winchester at The Honeysuckle at Twin Creeks Marina and Resort for a sweet reason—to join the fight against breast cancer.

Cochran has gathered fellow female forces-to-be-reckoned-with Jamie O’Neal (known for hits including “There Is No Arizona” and “I Think About Angels”) and country-turned-Americana artist Heidi Newfield (known for knowing her way around a harmonica, fronting the band Trick Pony and solo hits including “Johnny and June”) to share their love of music out on the water on Friday, July 10.

Well-known for her No. 1 duet “What If I Said” with Steve Wariner and “I Wanna Hear a Cheatin’ Song,” multi-award winning Cochran was diagnosed with triple positive invasive breast carcinoma in 2017. She wrote a song entitled “Fight Like a Girl” about her cancer battle and donates its proceeds to The Love Anchors Fund.

“I’m so excited about this show!” Cochran said about the July 10 project. “My first event for my breast cancer charity!”

The Love Anchors Fund is managed by The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee and distributes money to a variety of breast cancer organizations for research and awareness as well as to breast cancer patients in need.

Both O’Neal and Newfield are working on new music; Newfield is slated to release an album in late August and O’Neal just recorded the Shaye Smith co-write “The World Goes On.” Cochran also has new music. TV and radio personality Suzanne Alexander takes the helm as host to keep this girl-powered gathering between the beacons.

Tickets are $50 and seating is on a first-come first-served basis. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with the concert beginning at 7. The Honeysuckle is located at 91 Slip-A Way, Winchester.
