As one of the three members of The Irish Tenors, Kearns has been singing around the globe since 1998 when the group formed. The international singer will lend his talents to the USO and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund on Thursday for a charity concert at the New Zealand Embassy. How did you become involved with this charity event?

We performed at the event last year, and it was a great success, and we’ve managed to get a date again. With the support of the ONE Campaign and the New Zealand embassy we can make that happen, and benefit the USO and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund.
