Jadi Norris Makes a Splash with F.I.S.H. this New Year

Jadi Norris closes the year and kicks off 2011 by collecting donations for F.I.S.H. (Friends In Service Helping) at his Elko performances.  “I wanted to get the New Year started on a good foot by reaching out to an organization that feeds and shelters those in need throughout the Elko Community,” says Jadi.  “I hope everyone will come together to celebrate the holiday and help us jump start F.I.S.H. in 2011.”  Soulbilly singer/entertainer, Jadi Norris, is set to perform at Stockmen’s Hotel and Casino Thursday, December 30th through Sunday, January 2nd.

F.I.S.H. is local, non-profit organization that provides for individuals seeking urgent or supplemental food and housing in Elko and surrounding counties in Northeastern Nevada. The organization is currently in need of any non-perishable canned goods, sealed personal hygiene products and winter clothes (hats, socks, gloves, coats, etc.).

Jadi will take the stage to perform hits from his debut project Make Hay which has charted two singles — the current rowdy track Home Is Where the Heart Is, and his patriotic debut Hail the American Soldier.  To further motivate the audience to donate items at his merchandise table, the following rewards will be provided.

Benchmarks

Jadi’s zealous pursuit of life and the stage has also seen its share of dark periods. A drunk driver nearly claimed his life resulting in countless back surgeries and a body pieced together with titanium. His friends jokingly refer to him as the “Man of Steel.”  That wasn’t his only dark night as a bizarre incident at a hotel would prove to be his most trying situation. While showering, he slipped and fell hitting the soap dish chipping it into an unlikely weapon. It cut deeply into his right (guitar playing) arm hitting an artery. The damage to Jadi’s arm was so severe he was told by multiple doctors that he’d never play guitar again. Undaunted, he hired a guitar player and kept entertaining. For the next three years, through tenacious determination, he re-taught himself to play guitar. Jadi has since graced the stage alongside chart toppers Trace Adkins, Keith Urban, Reba McEntire, Toby Keith and Martina McBride.  For current updates and news, visit www.jadinorris.com.
