The Women and Cancer Fund is a not-for-profit charity led by Dr. Alicia Alvarez and established in the memory of Linda McCartney. Sir Paul McCartney has given his “whole-hearted blessing" to “Let Us In" Nashville, a campaign led by Reviver Music to raise awareness and proceeds for this charity which promotes prevention, lifestyle awareness, enhances available health services and advocates advanced breast cancer and children's cancer research.

On Monday, November 7 a special benefit concert will be held at Nashville's legendary Ryman Auditorium. The “Let Us In" Nashville benefit will kick off CMA Week in appropriate fashion, and will be hosted by actor/musician Jeff Daniels who will also be performing at the event. Each artist will be performing an original version of a Sir Paul McCartney song, as well as songs from their respective catalog. Tickets are available now and can be purchased here. Full lineup information is available below.

Performers for the “Let Us In" event, along with several other artists who are unable to attend the live show have each contributed their original version of a Sir Paul McCartney song for an album that will also benefit The Women and Cancer Fund. Monday, November 21 will see the release of the charity-based collection Let Us In" Nashville—A Tribute To Linda McCartney, via Reviver Music and distributed by BDG/RED Distribution. The “Let Us In" benefit event will also be filmed and recorded for a live DVD release.
