Suzanna Spring: News

In time for the holidays--A full studio mix of the song NEVER BEEN KISSED is now available for download, with proceeds going to Rose Charities. The song was written for a benefit at the Frist Center in Nashville in October. Mane Event and Rose chairperson Noot Seear hosted a runway show to raise money for cleft lip and palate corrective surgeries for children in Cambodia and Vietnam, where the disability is so prevalent. Now you can own the song, and contribute to a worthy cause--
