LIV ON: Olivia Newton-John, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Amy Sky

International superstar and multiple Grammy Award-winner Olivia Newton-John, Grammy nominee Beth Nielsen Chapman and SOCAN Award-winner Amy Sky are lending their vocal and songwriting talents to create LIV ON, a collaborative, newly recorded eleven-song collection intended for those who wish to transcend loss while walking a journey toward new-found meaning and hope. LIV ON: Olivia Newton-John, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Amy Sky will be performing live at Crest Theatre in Sacramento on February 14. 

This inspiring new project grew out of the three artists’ personal experiences with loss and illness, which they all survived to LIV ON and celebrate each day with a depth of gratitude. This labor of love stemmed from the trio sharing their stories together and expressing their deepest feelings from the most difficult to the most celebratory. It’s the hope that this music can uplift hearts burdened by grief while at the same time bring comfort to the listener.

LIV ON – means “to thrive, to have hope and to remember.”  The message is clear in the lyrics of the album’s title song:

Live on, Live on

Brighter skies will come again

Cry the tears you cry

And then live on, live on

Love is all we leave when we are gone...Live on

With songs such as “Don’t Know What To Say,” “My Heart Goes Out to You,” “Immortality,” and “Stone In My Pocket,” the lyrics express different phases of the delicate recovery process while validating the experience so the listener can heal once again and soar. In addition, each artist revisits songs that have brought love and light to many of their fans. The album includes new interpretations of “Grace and Gratitude” (Newton-John), “Sand and Water” (Nielsen Chapman) and “I Will Take Care of You” (Sky).

LIV ON harnesses the unique talents of these three internationally-recognized artists - and showcases the transforming power of music - to heal and shed light on the fact that it’s OK to grieve – and that the process is different for everyone. The message of LIV ON is clear and affirming: the reason we grieve is because we love, and therein lies the strength for healing.
