Loretta Hagen

The title track of Loretta Hagen's CD, "Sundown Till Dawn", is her most personal recording to date. After her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease seven years ago, Loretta wrote a heartfelt song that paints a clear picture of how her mom and her family have suffered dealing with the changes and challenges that come with such a terrible disease. This video was recorded by Michele Wolfe at Loretta's CD Release Concert at Music At The Mission Concert Series in West Milford NJ

The title track Sundown Till Dawn is on the soundtrack of a feature documentary film "Ten Mountains, Ten Years”  which premiered at Palace Theater during the Connecticut Film Festival May 5, 2010. Bruce Springsteen has contributed "Leap Of Faith" to the soundtrack, Leeza Gibbons opens the film and actress Anne Hathaway narrates! The LA based Backlight Productions film is about a group of mountain climbers called The Regulars who are climbing mountains to raise awareness for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Loretta's hopes are that her song will help to raise awareness and funding for research, so that others will one day be spared the suffering these diseases inflict. Being a tireless advocate for Alzheimer's disease, she was chosen by the National Alzheimer's Association to perform her song Sundown Till Dawn, during the Candlelight Vigil on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC for the Public Policy Forum and was featured on the cover of the Greater New Jersey Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association Winter Newsletter.
