* NOW A LOOK AT COUNTRY MUSIC & THE PEOPLE MAKING IT TODAY *
Kellie Pickler Goes to Washington
Kellie Pickler sang Wednesday afternoon on the west
lawn of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., as part
of the AARP GrandRally, an event targeting grandfamilies --
grandparents raising their grandchildren. Pickler was 2
years old when her parents separated and her mother left.
Her father has been in and out of prison on a variety of
charges, and Pickler was raised by her grandparents,
Faye and Clyde Pickler Sr. At the rally, Pickler will
perform "My Angel," a song she wrote about her late
grandmother. As her charity of choice, Kellie has
donated almost $50,000 to the AARP's Grandparenting
Foundation, which addresses the financial, legal and
medical challenges faced by grandparents. "Having been
raised by my grandparents, I know the struggles they
face raising their grandchildren," Pickler said.
