Singer Gordon Chambers Partners with Samaritan’s Feet – In Concert | Feb 16th, 2012

The
accomplished artist has joined forces with the Barefoot Entertainment
division of Samaritan’s Feet in order to provide new shoes and hope for
children in need around the world. After receiving esteemed awards for
penning hit songs for iconic R&B legends such as Anita Baker,
Beyonce, Usher, Whitney Houston, Yolanda Adams and the legendary Patti
Labelle, he has released his third solo album, Sincere, and will be in
Charlotte as a part of his promotional tour “One Night Only, with Gordon
Chambers & Friends.”

Mr. Chambers will host the event
barefoot in order to raise awareness for the estimated 300 million
children who are without shoes in the world today.

“Many of these
children do not have access to proper foot care, and a simple pair of
shoes reduces their risk of infection, disease and amputation,” said
Peter Rieke, Director of Barefoot Entertainment. “Still others are
unable to attend school to receive an education because they simply lack
shoes – and we are grateful Gordon Chambers has signed on to become a
national and international Barefoot Entertainment Ambassador to help
provide children an on-going opportunity of hope.”

Samaritan’s Feet has a goal to provide 10 million pairs of shoes to children around the world in the next 10 years.

According
to Essence Magazine (of which Gordon is the former Entertainment
Editor), Gordon “effortlessly melds a pop/R&B sound with a classic
soul aesthetic that is certain to surprise and delight contemporary
R&B fans and soul enthusiasts alike.” (Castro, 2011) Newcomer Eliz
Camacho will be opening for Gordon.
