Kevin Sharp-Special guest speaker and musician to perform a free inspirational concert from 7:00-8:30 at Walter Theatre at SNC.

As an award winning vocalist, entertainer, cancer survivor and now one of the country's top speakers, Kevin has seen and done it all.

With a platinum debut album, "Measure Of A Man," scores of award nominations and a string of chart topping hits including "She's Sure Taking It Well," "If You Love Somebody," and the highly acclaimed "Nobody Knows" - which held the top spot on Billboard's Country Singles Chart for an astonishing four weeks, marking the best debut by a new male country singer in five years -- Kevin is no stranger to musical success. But Kevin has experienced his share of heartbreak as well, which is evident in the emotional portrayal of his songs that has become his trademark with fans and critics alike.
