The British Are Coming … to Henry County!
British Invasion is second in “Sounds of the 60s” Live Concert Series
Music from “across the pond” will fill the air at the Jason T. Harper Event Center in Heritage Park in Henry County, Georgia! The live show is slated for Saturday, May 9, 2009. It is the second of the “Sounds of the 60s” concert series of live music events produced by local company Speer Entertainment Services/Really Big Productions, Inc. The debut concert, “Sound of the 60’s – Solid Gold”, was held at the same venue last October.
The talent line up is a who’s who of British Invasion-era artists. Artists scheduled to perform include:
· Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone, best known for hits like “I'm Henry the VIII I Am” · “I'm Into Something Good” · “Mrs. Brown You've Got A lovely Daughter” and “There's A Kind of Hush.”
· Peter & Gordon performing favorites including “I Go To Pieces” · “Lady Godiva” · “Nobody I Know” · “True Love Ways” and “Woman.”
· Terry Sylvester formerly of the Hollies with favorites such as “The Air That I Breathe” · “He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother” · “Just One Look” and “Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress.”
· Badfinger’s Joey Molland singing “Day After Day” · “No Matter What” · “Come & Get It” and “Baby Blue.”
The opening act will be a familiar but less British sound. The Woody’s featuring radio DJ Freddie Brooks from Atlanta’s True Oldies channel 106.7, will kick off the evening. Brooks emceed the October show. Doors open at 4:00 p.m., and the show starts at 6:00 p.m. The show will go on, rain or shine, as all seats are under cover.
Tickets are just $25 each for bleacher seats. Floor seats are only $35 each. VIP table seating is also available for $75 per ticket and includes a delicious dinner catered by McDonough favorite, O.B.’s BBQ. Tickets may be purchased at www.TicketAlternative.com or in McDonough at O.B.’s BBQ, the Welcome Center on the square, at Henry County Parks & Rec office at Heritage Park or by calling 770-957-0768. The Jason T. Harper Event Center in Heritage Park is located in McDonough at 101 Lake Dow Road.
“We’re excited to return to Heritage Park for our second concert,” said Linda Walker, owner of Speer Entertainment. “We realize that times are tight, so offering a full night of affordable, family-friendly entertainment was important to us,” she explained. “Where else can you see four famous acts performing live for just $25 a ticket? It’s a great value!”
Just as the October concert did, the May show will also help the local community. A portion of concert proceeds will benefit the Henry County Sheriff Department’s Honor Guard / Officer and Families Fund. The Fund provides emergency assistance in time of need.
Speer Entertainment Services produces family-friendly concerts at affordable ticket prices. A variety of musical genres are featured, providing a live music experience everyone can enjoy. Concert details can be found online at www.ReallyBigProductionsInc.com.

The Allman Brothers Band and Onstream Media Break New Ground with Live, 15-Day Webcast of Band's 40th Anniversary Concert Series
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Onstream Media Corporation (NASDAQ:ONSM) , an online service provider of live and on-demand Internet video, today announced it will be web-casting the Allman Brothers Band's 40th anniversary 15-day concert series, live from the Beacon Theatre in New York City beginning on March 9, 2009. Each three-hour concert will be unique and feature surprise, celebrity musicians in tribute to Duane Allman, the band's original leader, who passed away in 1971.
This combined in-person and online historic event marks a significant shift in the world of music as more and more bands choose to offer broader and more targeted audiences the opportunity to enjoy the live music experience from the comfort of their homes. The online web-casting format also enables bands to increase profit margins by eliminating costly music production and distribution channels.
"We wanted a way to share our special anniversary series with all of our fans worldwide, not just the ones who are able to join us in-person at the Beacon Theatre," said Butch Trucks, drummer and original band member for the Allman Brothers Band. "Onstream Media is a long-standing leader in managing and producing complex, live web-casting events. We would have had to work with multiple service providers to find the type of capabilities that Onstream Media solely provides."
Leveraging the world-class Akamai content delivery network, Onstream Media will use its highly scalable and reliable web-casting solution to stream the events live over www.Moogis.com. The band is also using Onstream's pay-per-view commerce capabilities to charge a fee for individuals to view all 15 concerts live. The events will also be archived for subsequent playback and subscribers can replay any of the concerts for 6 months following the live event. At press time, the entire 15 show series at the Beacon Theatre was sold out and the on-line webcast is now the only way for Allman Brothers fans to experience the entire concert series.
"As an Allman Brothers fan myself, I am thrilled we are able to provide our services to support the band during its historic Beacon Theatre run," said Randy Selman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Onstream Media Corporation. "This is a very special concert series for the band and for its fans, and with our help, their live performances will be shared with thousands around the globe in rich TV-like quality over the Web."
"With Onstream Media, this event also demonstrates a new, viable business model for the changing world of music," added Trucks. We hope that both new and old bands alike start following our lead in order to stay connected with their fans and to generate more direct income from their music."
Onstream Media is also helping to promote the Allman Brothers Band web-casting event through a national, integrated marketing and communications campaign, including targeted email promotions, select online promotions and ongoing public relations efforts. For more information about the Allman Brothers March 9-28, 2009 concert series, please visit www.Moogis.com, and to learn more about Onstream Media and its services, please visit www.Onstreammedia.com.

Sousa, Stars and Stripes Forever! Offers Taste of Past with Timeless Music
The Army Ground Forces Band invites you to spend a mid-March day with “The March King,” John Philip Sousa, at the Georgia Tech Ferst Center for the Arts, Sunday, March 15, 3 p.m. No tickets are required.
Sousa, Stars and Stripes Forever! is a free and unabashedly patriotic concert that offers Atlantans an opportunity to step back in time to when the concert band was king of the entertainment scene.
“This will be a fun concert performed by our world-class musicians in the style of the famous Sousa Band,” said the band commander, Maj. Domingos Robinson.
“In addition to Sousa marches such as The Stars and Stripes Forever, we will be playing great pieces from Sousa’s time that will include works by Franz von Suppé, Percy Grainger and Richard Wagner.”
The band will showcase its principal trombonist, Sgt. 1st Class Chris Rozmarin, performing Arthur Pryor’s Blue Bells of Scotland and the horn section performing Robert Schumann’s Concertpiece for Four Horns.
Sousa's formula for a great concert was to include orchestral music, solo compositions, novelty pieces and patriotic music, fulfilling his dual purpose of entertaining the audience and bringing the best music available to the public.
He would follow up most songs on the program with a march that was not printed in the program.
His band exposed the masses to both great classical pieces and his own original compositions by extensive touring that took him to small towns all over the United States from 1892 to 1932. His became a household name in large part because his programming style was so effective.
For more about the concert and the band, go to www.armygroundforcesband.com or call 404-464-5676.

Chuck Wicks Signs Partnership Deal with Dr Pepper
RCA Nashville recording artist Chuck Wicks has signed a year-long sponsorship deal with Dr Pepper to support the brand’s Academy of Country Music Awards (ACMA) promotion. As part of the promotion, consumers can enter online at DrPepper.com for a chance to win a VIP experience for two at the ACMAs in April 2009, where they will meet Chuck.
"I’m a huge fan of Dr Pepper. We share a similar fan base and the same passion for country music. I am looking forward to partnering with the brand,” said Chuck Wicks.Chuck will be featured online and on in-store promotional materials at major retailers nationwide. Dr. Pepper will also bring Chuck to select retail locations for album signings and performances.
CHUCK WICKS – A gifted songwriter and vocalist, Chuck Wicks made a compelling impression with his Top 5 smash, "Stealing Cinderella," the fastest-rising single by a debut country act in 2007. Expanding upon his musical talents, Wicks was recently confirmed as a celebrity cast member of the 8th season of ABC’s Dancing With The Stars, premiering on March 9th. By the time his first album, Starting Now (RCA Nashville), was released in January 2008, he had begun a year-long 750,000 fan-packed tour opening for superstar Brad Paisley. Chuck Wicks co-penned 10 of the 11 songs on his debut CD, including his 2nd hit, "All I Ever Wanted," and the new single, "Man of the House," a touching story-song about a boy taking on beyond-his-years responsibilities as his father is on military assignment.

National Museum of American History and USA Weekend Magazine Partner for National Anthem YouTube Singing Contest
/PRNewswire/ -- The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, home of the Star-Spangled Banner, the flag that inspired the national anthem, has partnered with USA Weekend Magazine to launch the Star-Spangled Banner YouTube Singing Contest on Sunday, Feb. 15.
"The Star-Spangled Banner is one of our nation's most treasured objects, a symbol of what this country stands for," said Brent D. Glass, director of the museum. "We thought that this contest would be a fun way to dispel the notion that history is boring and engage people with their flag and their anthem."
Fifteen semi-finalists will be selected by April 17 according to vocal performance, originality, accuracy and popularity on YouTube. All semi-finalists will receive a signed copy of the book "The Star Spangled Banner: The Making of an American Icon," and their videos will be featured on the museum's Star-Spangled Banner Web site.
The top video will be chosen by a panel of celebrities, Smithsonian judges and a representative from the Orioles and announced May 19. The winner will be invited to perform the national anthem at the museum and at the Baltimore Orioles versus Atlanta Braves game in Baltimore on Flag Day, June 14. USA Weekend will provide the winner with a trip for two to Washington, D.C., including airfare, hotel accommodation for two nights, tickets and transportation to the game and $400 spending money.
"This is the first YouTube contest at the Smithsonian and it fits well with the notion that the Star-Spangled Banner belongs to everyone," said Matthew MacArthur, the museum's director of New Media.
For contest rules, sample videos, lyrics and to enter, participants should visit the Star-Spangled Banner YouTube Singing Contest Web site. Entries may be submitted from Feb. 15 to April 13, 2009. Participants and others can follow the contest via Twitter: http://twitter.com/amhistorymuseum (@amhistorymuseum)

GT: Creating New Ways for Audiences to Participate in Performance
Music Professor Jason Freeman created Piano Etudes, a Web-based application that allows audiences to participate in the composition process.
According to Freeman, his Piano Etudes are not like traditional etudes that you might go and hear a musician play in a concert. In Freeman’s Piano Etudes, everyone is involved in the process of composing the musical piece.
“You can go and listen to a musician play at the concert, but you can also get involved by going to the companion Web site,” said Freeman. “On the Web site you’re able to look at musical fragments, the little building blocks that make up the Etudes, and rearrange them however you want.”
According to Freeman, by rearranging the fragments you’re able to create your own unique version of the piece. Once you’ve created your own version, the Web site allows you share the piece with friends on many social networking sites. The music can also be downloaded as MP3 files or even as conventional musical scores that can be performed in concert.
“I developed Piano Etudes because I have grown increasingly dissatisfied with the distinctions that get drawn between people that compose music, people who perform music and people who only get to listen to music,” said Freeman. “For me, these distinctions seem artificial.”
Freeman said that his most fulfilling musical experiences are when he is able to compose, create and perform. “When I do all of those things, I listen to music differently,” said Freeman. “I’m more involved in it and it is much more fulfilling. I am hoping others will share in this experience through Piano Etudes and many of my other works.”
Freeman wrote Piano Etudes for pianist Jenny Lin, who challenged him to explore what a musical etude would be in a contemporary cultural environment.
“What a modern etude meant to me was the ability for the pianist and Web site participants to take part in the composition process,” said Freeman. “The performer’s task really becomes interesting then, because the musician must take all of these possibilities and make the piece his or her own.”
Upcoming concerts include Spivey Hall in Atlanta on April 1st, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC on April 5th, and Strathmore in Maryland on May 7th.

Country Weekly's Cover Story: The Secret Toby Keith
From the time Toby Keith wrote his first hit, 1993’s “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” in a motel bathroom in Dodge City, Kan., he’s been a force to be reckoned with.
So you might think you know all there is to know about this high-profile superstar.
But we’ve compiled 30 things you probably don’t know about the bigger-than-life Toby. Such as . . . He got his first look at future wife Tricia at a dance hall in 1981 where it was love at first sight—at least for him!
A life-long Democrat, he re-registered as an Independent last year after being angered by liberal criticism of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Commenting on his politics, Toby says, “I don’t see right and left. I see right and wrong.” Plus much more!
The March 9th issue of COUNTRY WEEKLY, on sale February 23rd.

Georgia Academy of Dance & the Performing Arts is the premier performing arts school within our local community offering performing arts education with top professional instructors from around the nation. Joining their staff of performing arts professionals is Dr. Franklin Green, a Pi Kappa Lambda with a major in choral conducting, minor in vocal performance.
In addition to his doctorate of the University of Georgia, Dr. Green obtained his masters from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, majoring in music history and vocal concentration, and his bachelors from the University of Georgia, majoring in music education and vocal concentration and receiving magna cum laude honors.
Throughout his career, Dr. Green has served as a church musician, public school choral director, and college professor around the southeast. He also served on the voice faculty for Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville. For over ten years, his choirs have been nationally recognized, singing for state, regional, and national conventions for choral directors.
Before his teaching career, Dr. Green was a member of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus and the ASO Chamber Chorus under the direction of the well-known, Robert Shaw. Additionally, Dr. Green has been a guest soloist with many regional colleges, universities, and choral societies and is sought after as a judge and clinician.
He currently teaches privately and directs the Georgia Singers. Georgia Singers, Inc. is a Georgia Non-Profit Corporation, which sponsors two community choirs for young women from grade seven through young adults with fifty plus members. Dr. Green is also the Coordinator of the Lexus Scholarships for the Stars program which annually provides $25,000 in college scholarships for future music majors from Fayette County.
