Sammy Sadler renews commitment to NOVA - National Spokesperson

NASHVILLE, TN. (www.sammysadler.com) - Texas recording artist Sammy Sadler has renewed his commitment to the National Organization of Victims' Rights (NOVA). Sadler attended the 30th Annual North American Victim Assistance Conference held in Sacramento last month, where he spoke and performed – and accepted an offer to serve, once again, as a national spokesperson for the group. He's already booked for the National conference in Atlanta next August and will make appearances on behalf of the organization throughout 2005.

Sadler knows better than anyone the toll that crime can take on its victims. A survivor of 1989's infamous "Murder On Music Row" (profiled last week on A & E Television's COLD CASE FILES), Sammy worked for years to overcome the effects of the attack. "It was a life-changing event," says the soft-spoken singer. "It was a long hard road, but I fought my way back."

It is a fight that Sammy has clearly won. His debut CD, HARD ON A HEART, was released earlier this year to critical acclaim and phenomenal fan support. He has enjoyed two Top 15 Texas Music Chart singles ("I Know A Place" and "Hard On A Heart"), been featured in the national publications Country Weekly and Country Music Today, major newspapers in Dallas, Houston, Little Rock, Nashville, San Antonio, Tulsa, and toured extensively throughout the summer.
