   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,"
