|    Hampton Roads: Harborfest lineup (1/2)    |
|    21 Apr 09 22:27:31    |
      From: dahoov2@cox.net              Many good pay for concerts this year but nothing good on the free       front at all this year. This week they announced the harborfest       lineup (Easy to get graphs here)              The Late Show's Gospel Choir Main Stage: Time 3:30-4:30 pm       The Late Show's Gospel Choir was organized by Lady Peachena when Jill       Leiderman, a rep then for CBS's popular show, "The Late Show with       David Letterman," read a story about her show, The Great Divas of       Gospel, and called her up requesting a choir to sing on a video. After       Paul Shafer heard the choir, he requested that they perform live on       the show. Since then The Late Show's Gospel Choir has performed on       "The Late Show with David Letterman," more than 13 times, and has also       backed such artists as: Martin Shore, Darlene Love, Julio Iglesias,       Gloria Estefan, & Steve Martin. Over the years, The Late Show's Gospel       Choir has performed at weddings, bar mitzvahs, birthday parties,       churches, supper clubs, hotels, and arenas all over the NY/NJ/CT metro       area, including Wall Street's Cipriani's, Cornell University's Weill       Medical Center, and Madison Square Garden. Most of the time the Choir       sings a cappella, and their powerful voices are simply amazing.                     Right On Main Stage: Time 6pm - 7pm       Right On is the "World's Greatest 70's Show Band" with a full horn       section. They have performed all over the world including Ethiopia,       Italy, Canada, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas. They have had       the honor of performing for two United States Presidents and the US       Congress at the White House as well as other dignitaries and heads of       state around the world.              Saturday       Livingston Taylor Hard Rock Fish Stage: Time 6:45 - 8:00pm       Livingston Taylor's career as a professional musician has rattled       along for over thirty years. He has toured-some might say,       perpetually-with such major artists as Linda Ronstadt, Jimmy Buffett,       Fleetwood Mac, and Jethro Tull. He has recorded thirteen albums, and       there are with three retrospectives as well. He currently maintains a       performing schedule of more than a hundred shows a year, which include       club, theater, college, and full symphony repertoire. A strong       television background includes hosting a daily syndicated pop music       show This Week's Music for Viacom plus the occasional soap-opera cameo       (reporter Sam Cocharan on the now-defunct soap Texas). Now a full       professor, Livingston has lectured regularly at the Berklee College of       Music in Boston since 1985 and has taught a performance course there       since 1989. The concept, and much of the inspiration, for his book       Stage Performance come from those classes. Born in Boston in 1950 and       raised in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Livingston is the fourth of       five children of Isaac and Trudy Taylor. He was sixteen when he moved       back to Boston to finish high school. "Barely," he says, noting that       the next year he began performing in the Boston coffeehouse circuit.       At eighteen he met Jon Landau, who later became Bruce Springsteen's       producer and manager. It was Landau who produced Livingston's first       recording in Macon, Georgia, for Atlantic Records when he was       nineteen. Livingston has written most of his music repertoire,       including such Top Forty hits as "I Will Be in Love with You" and       "I'll Come Running"; and, recorded by his brother James, "I Can Dream       of You," "Going Round One More Time," and "Boatman" (off the double       Grammy-winning album Hourglass). In 1988 he received the Boston Music       Award for outstanding folk artist. He is the author of two children's       books, Pajamas and Can I Be Good? Both were published by Harcourt       Brace. Describing himself as a pop singer, Livingston also includes       his guitar, and piano in his performances. The piano has supplanted       the five-string banjo as the difficulties of air travel have forced       him to leave it at home. He says it is a nice idea to be able to sit       down to play as one grows older. "It's no mean feat, making a living       as a professional musician for thirty years," he says. No mean feat.       But to do it with style-ah, there's the beauty. Livingston was an       Artist-in-Residence at Harvard University for five years, and now       serves in an advisory capacity there.              US Atlantic Fleet Band Main Stage: 5:30-6:45pm       The Ceremonial Band is the most visible unit of the Fleet Forces Band,       performing more than 500 engagements each year. This unit provides       musical support for official military ceremonies and special events.       The band is featured throughout the summer months in support of       "National Day" events hosted by the Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic,       which pays tribute to individual countries from the NATO alliance. The       Ceremonial Band has traveled to France in support of the 50th       anniversary of D-Day, to Ireland in support of the USS Kennedy (CVN       67) port visit to Dublin, and participated in the OpSail 2000       International Naval Review in New York City              Lee Greenwood Main Stage: Time 8pm - 9:30 pm       Lee Greenwood has been active in the Country Music scene since the       early 1980s. He has released more than twenty major-label albums and       has charted more than thirty-five singles on the Billboard country       music charts.Few artists have ever written a song that has become more       a part of America's cultural landscape than Lee Greenwood's "God Bless       the USA." If he'd never written or recorded another hit, Greenwood       would have secured his place in music history with that powerful       inspiring ballad. "God Bless the USA" has been voted the most       recognizable patriotic song in America, taking the top honor over "God       Bless America" and the "National Anthem," but it is only one of the       many hits that have propelled Greenwood's successful career. With his       distinctive voice, insightful songwriting and unparalleled       showmanship, Greenwood has been captivating audiences for decades.Lee       Greenwood has charted seven Number One hits in his career: "Somebody's       Gonna Love You", "Going, Going, Gone", "Dixie Road", "I Don't Mind the       Thorns (If You're the Rose)", "Don't Underestimate My Love for You",       "Hearts Aren't Made to Break (They're Made to Love)", and "Mornin'       Ride". His 1983 single "I.O.U." was also a Top Five hit on the Adult       Contemporary charts, and #53 on the Billboard Hot 100. A 2001       re-release of "God Bless the USA" became his highest charting pop hit,       reaching #16 on the Hot 100.Along the way, he has won numerous       accolades including two, Male Vocalist of the Year awards from the       Country Music Association, and the CMA Song of the Year honor in 1985       for "God Bless the USA." He has won the Top Male Vocal Performance in       1983 for "I.O.U." His lengthy string of hits includes such classics as       "Ring on Her Finger, Time on Her Hands," "It Turns Me Inside Out,"       "Somebody's Gonna Love You," "I Don't Mind the Thorns (If You're the       Rose)" and "Dixie Road. As proud as he is of "God Bless the USA,"              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
