This song was written for The Center For Courageous Kids by the talented and beautiful Bridgette Tatum, a Nashville country music artist with a heart as big as her voice.  

"Love Don't Need A Reason" was co-written by Tatum and the multi-talented Danny Myrick.  Music and Lyrics by Bridgette Tatum and Danny Myrick, courtesy of Three Ring Circus and Root 49 Publishing.  These folks are committed to not only producing phenomenal "rock your boots off" music, but to changing the world, one haunting lyrical melody at a time.

About Bridgette Tatum:

The Florence, SC native serves up a brand of country music that is both unsettling in its vulnerability and downright raucous to the core. That duality, the softness in the ballads and the defiance in the up-tempo tunes is just the beginning of the contradictions that define Tatum. She's a beautiful brunette who has modeling gigs to her credit, yet she's also a tough chick who survived a vicious attack. She's polite and soft-spoken with a honey-soaked Southern drawl, yet she's quick to stand up for what she believes and call things just the way she sees them.

Tatum has a lot of living under her belt, and it's those experiences that have shaped her artistry. The product of an abusive childhood, Tatum found refuge in religion. Her mom took her to tent revivals and services swirling with the Holy Spirit, drenched in passion and saturated with soul-shaking gospel songs. It was there she first felt the power of music and its ability to impact lives.

As you listen to Bridgette's music and view some of her artwork which hangs in our medical center, let her passion touch you and transport you to a place of tenderness and strength of spirit.  

What will The Center for Courageous Kids inspire in YOU?
