MINDEN, Nev.
Brenn Hill is performing a benefit concert for Relay for Life and his son, Briggs, at the Carson Valley Inn on Saturday.
Hill's annual show had originally been scheduled for earlier in the year, but his son spent most of the past seven months in a Salt Lake City hospital being treated for brain and spinal cancer.
"All challenges aside, I'm happy to be returning to Minden and I'm looking forward to visiting with my fans and friends," Hill said about his concert in Minden. "This year, proceeds from my concert will go to the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life."
The concert will be recorded for an upcoming live CD.
The Utah singer/songwriter's livelihood of making music started with the first of six CDs, "Rangefire" in 1997, "Endangered" in 2004 and "What a Man's Got to Do" from 2007.
Hill said he mostly performs his songs in a show but sometimes gets requests to sing Ian Tyson's "MC Horses" about a dispersal sale of a ranch on the Oregon/Nevada border. For more about Hill and to hear some of his music, go to brennhill.com
