ROSE, by best-selling author Laurence Leamer, will kick-off the inaugural 2017-18 South Florida Season from Forum Productions, in conjunction with the Greenhouse Theater Center NFP.

ROSE, presents an intimate portrait of Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, Camelot’s “queen mother,” as she retraces the rise and fall of her great family. Set in 1969 at the Kennedy’s Hyannis Port compound, one week after Teddy Kennedy’s infamous car accident on a bridge in Chappaquiddick, Mass, Rose reflects on her life and her family’s triumphs and tragedies.

The play is based on never-before-heard interviews conducted by Robert Coughlan, the ghostwriter of Rose Kennedy’s 1974 memoir, and compiled by distinguished Kennedy biographer and Palm Beach resident Laurence Leamer. A renowned Kennedy expert, Leamer has penned three best-selling tomes: “The Kennedy Women: The Saga of an American Family,” “The Kennedy Men” and “Sons of Camelot.”

ROSE is directed by revered Chicago director Steve Scott and stars Linda Reiter, a Chicago theater veteran who originated the role at The Greenhouse Theater and who’s currently nominated for a Jeff Award as best actress for her portrayal. Her numerous credits also include the television dramas Chicago Med (NBC), Chicago PD (NBC) and The Beast (A&E). Her voice can be heard in over 30 episodes of The Twilight Zone Radio Dramas (Falcon Picture Group) and she has received 13 Jeff Award nominations (Equity and non-Equity) and garnered six non-Equity Awards.

Forum Productions, in conjunction with the Greenhouse Theater Center NFP, is seeking actors and actresses to portray the lead and supporting roles in Truman and the Birth of Israel, a world premiere play by Chicago playwright William Spatz. Auditions will be held on Friday, September 29, from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. at Mizner Park Cultural Center, 201 Plaza Real in Boca Raton. The production will make its debut on March 21, 2018 and will run through April 8, 2018. Rehearsals start on March 4.

From humble beginnings as a poor farmer, soldier and failed businessman to the unimaginable: president and thrust headlong into global turmoil, Truman and the Birth of Israel tells the real story of how one Missouri man’s unlikely rise to power changed the future of the Jewish people forever. The show is directed by Clayton Phillips and produced by Forum Productions, the highly acclaimed comprehensive stage and theater company based in Chicago. The company has produced/co-produced 17 plays including the well-received Churchill and Solo Celebration!, a series of one-actor plays all staged at the Greenhouse Theater in Chicago.

Actors and actresses (including understudies) are being sought for the following roles:

HARRY S. TRUMAN: (Equity/Non-equity); 50s – late 60s, 33rd President of the United States; Proper and plainspoken but with a temper, Missouri Midwestern drawl with a blunt, yet folksy disposition.

CLARK CLIFFORD: (Non-equity); Early 40s – mid 50s; A lawyer and close friend of Truman’s, handsome, fit, calm and sophisticated.

MELVYN BELLI (Non-equity): Late 30s – 50s; An attorney for the defense who is sarcastic, aggressive and incites provocation.

EDDIE JACOBSON: (Non-equity); 50s – 60s; A close friend of Truman’s; in real life paunchy and balding, soft-spoken, under-educated, comes across as an awkward country fellow from Missouri but his easygoing personality makes him a good salesman.

BELLA ABZUG: (Non-equity); early 30s – early 40s; Truman’s attorney, an unmistakable New Yorker, born of Russian Jewish parents, with personality galore. Not a shrinking violet, though she’s both advocating for and attacking the former President of the United States.

AL SCHWIMMER: (Non-equity); 40s – 50s; Witness for the defense who is a handsome and commanding presence – forceful and confident.

Auditioning candidates should have a one-minute dramatic monologue and prior to the audition will be given a section of the script to be performed. For an appointment, please send a headshot and resume to wmspatz@gmail.com.

Chardavoine is a concrete manifestation of Haitian jazz, a new genre emerging in jazz today. Haitian-born but Brooklyn-bred, the talented guitarist has covered the gambit of musical styles through the waves of his guitar. He is an incredible musician, a creative artist and a refined professional. He represents the best of modern music and the future of jazz, along with his Creole Jazz Ensemble.

Chardavoine is well-known around New York for his association with the late great Dave Valentin, who’s a guest on two of his albums. Last year he had the privilege of playing at Aretha Franklin’s birthday bash with the Tito Puente Jr. orchestra.

His latest release,“The Tribute”, which commemorates the Haitian earthquake victims, showcases his talents – not only as an excellent musician but also as a great creative and seasoned arranger. His previous CD, “Fifth Season”, has been described as funky jazz, played with soul. It’s guitar oriented in the style of George Benson, and lyrical in the style of Stevie Wonder.”

The ensemble features Hilario Bell on drums, Tom McCormick on sax, Rafael Valencia on bass, and Felix Gomez on piano and keys.

BRING YOUR OWN … WHATEVER! The theater boasts cabaret-style table seating, where patrons can bring their own food and drinks, including alcohol. Music courtesy of KCC Productions.

The “Prince and Princess” of Jewish Music, Neshama Carlebach and Josh Nelson,
To Perform at Congregation B’nai Israel Boca Raton
The March 12 concert is only public South Florida concert

Boca Raton, FL – Congregation B’nai Israel (CBI) will host a public concert featuring the “Prince and Princess” of Jewish contemporary music, Neshama Carlebach and Josh Nelson. The concert will be held on Saturday, March 12 and will serve as the artists’ only South Florida public show this year.

Tickets to the event range from $36 for general admission to $65, $100 $150 for reserved sanctuary seating and can be purchased at Congregation B’nai Israel. The doors open at 7 p.m. and will start with a cocktail party with light bites and a pre-show featuring musical performances by several CBI musical groups and talents, followed by the concert starting at 8 p.m.

“We are very honored and so excited to be able to welcome these top two Jewish musical giants in concert at our synagogue,” said Steve Allen, executive director of Congregation B’nai Israel. “Josh Nelson and Neshama Carlebach are superstars in their own rights, and about a year ago combined their talents musically to form the most explosive, meaningful and rocking show for all audiences. Combining Josh’s rock talents and inspirational writings inspired by his late mentor, Debbie Friedman, and Neshama’s strong allegiance to her late father and icon, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, this is a concert that absolutely cannot be missed.”

Neshama Carlebach, a leading superstar in Jewish entertainment, is continuing the legacy established by her father, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach. Like her father, Neshama’s talent and charisma captivate and endear her to people of all ages, faiths and backgrounds. Neshama has performed and taught in cities worldwide, has sung on the Broadway stage, has sold more than one million records, and was a six-time entrant in the 2011 Grammy Awards. Neshama was one of the creators of the Broadway play “Soul Doctor.” Her ninth recording, “Soul Daughter,” features performances by the original Broadway cast of the musical. Neshama is currently touring with a new band and gospel choir and joyfully raising her two sons, Rafael and Micah.

A classically trained musician who is equally versed in rock, jazz and world music, Josh Nelson combines his broad range of influences into a breathtaking musical style that is accessible to audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Whether appearing solo or with an elite ensemble of world-class musicians, Josh’s presence and performance style is high-energy and captivating. His music builds community, lifting up congregations and concert audiences alike through experiences that are at once energizing and deeply moving. Most recently, Josh starred as Shlomo Carlebach in the Off-Broadway revival of “Soul Doctor” at New York’s Actors Temple Theatre.

Dark Horse Flyer is a rock band based from South Florida and is comprised of 6 members. Collectively they have shared the stage with such notable artists as; Ernest Ranglin, Buster Poindexter, Etta James, Temptations, Kansas, Chuck Berry, and The Gin Blossoms. Breakaway is a 9-song album of masterfully played brawny riff rock and detached cool jazzy rock.

As a Boca Raton resident and bassist for the band, Richard Taylor has forged his own artistic conception, successfully creating basslines that are stand-alone musical statements. The combination of his rich understanding of music theory and chemistry of the chords, scales, and passing tones, makes him an invaluable member of Dark Horse Flyer.

Here is some info on the band and their music below.

Marlins Think Tank Week 5/1/14-5/6/14

Marlins Think Tank Week
May 1-2 and May 5-6
Elementary and Middle Schools across Miami Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties

The Marlins Think Tank is an online curriculum-enhancement program that utilizes the Miami Marlins as the basis for learning. Marlins Think Tank aims to enrich the learning experiences of children in grades 4-6 by linking baseball to the curriculum areas of writing, language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, and health & fitness. The program provides lesson plans which meet Common Core State Standards as adopted by the Florida Department of Education, with the Miami Marlins as the lesson theme.

Several local businesses have partnered to establish the South Florida chapter of The Dear Santa Society, a Philadelphia-based charity that over the past 25 years has provided toys, clothing and food to thousands of children during the holiday season.

A non-profit organization founded in 1989, The Dear Santa Society strives to bring together a community of caring people who want to help others in their communities. Since its inception, the charity has provided toys, clothing and food to over 4,800 children in approximately 1,500 families. All members of The Dear Santa Society are volunteers, including its board members and officers. No volunteers, officers or board members receive any compensation and 100% of contributions made to The Dear Santa Society are used to fund the holiday drive.

The 501(c)3 organization solicits contributions from individuals, small businesses and large corporations and conducts fund-raising events during the course of the year. The South Florida chapter’s fundraising efforts this year are lead by its founding members, who include The Max Group, The Buzz Agency of Florida, The Sonoma House, Farmer Jay Organics and Blindfold Magazine. Contributions can be made in person to any of the founding member companies or on the Dear Santa Society website (www.dearsantasociety.org). Cash, checks and credit cards are all accepted.

South Florida Chairperson Fred Stampone of The Max Group points out, ”Most of us are lucky to have many happy holiday memories, but there are many children right here in our own backyard who are deprived of such memories. The hardships that many families face throughout the year become particularly acute during the holiday season.”

Volunteers interested in joining this year’s effort should contact The Sonoma House at 561-756-9474. The program schedule calls for wrapping toys and clothing on December 18th at 7:00 PM and delivery to families on December 21st at 8:00 AM, with such activities being conducted at The Sonoma House, 200 NE 11th Street, Boca Raton, FL 33432.

The concert will be held at the Plumosa School of the Arts Auditorium, 2501 Seacrest Blvd., Delray Beach. Tickets are $35 for general admission and $75 for VIP and can be purchased at: www.plumosafoundation.org.

Following the success of her PBS special, “Songs for Peace,” Liel Kolet, singer, songwriter and peace advocate, will take the stage for her Ray of Hope Concert Tour on Wednesday, March 6, 2013, Thursday, March 7, 2013 and Friday, March 8, 2013 at the Spanish River Church in Boca Raton, FL.

Liel Kolet’s performances in Boca Raton mark the first leg of her Ray of Hope Concert Tour across the United States in support of her forthcoming album, “Ray of Hope,” produced by 16-time Grammy Award Winner Humberto Gatica, which is scheduled to be released in June 2013.

Twenty-three year-old vocal powerhouse Liel Kolet began her professional career at the age of 12, after winning the prestigious European talent contest, Bravo Bravissimo. Blessed with extraordinary talent, an angelic voice and a magical persona that captivates audiences around the world, Liel has performed all over the world and has collaborated with musical greats, Andrea Bocelli, The Scorpions, Patti Labelle, Herbie Hancock and Slash, and has also had the honor of sharing a stage with President Bill Clinton.

Liel’s career skyrocketed in 2003, after a landmark performance at Israeli President Shimon Peres’ 80th birthday celebration, during which Liel spontaneously invited President Bill Clinton to join her on stage to sing one of history’s greatest peace songs, John Lennon’s “Imagine,” along with a choir of 40 Jewish children and 40 Arabic children. The impromptu duet was broadcast via CNN/International, instigating a firestorm of publicity that elevated Liel’s status internationally, making her a “highly sought after personality” for royal events, peace concerts and charity events throughout the world.

Born to Jewish parents with Indian, Yemenite and Egyptian roots on a Kibbutz in northern Israel, Liel’s upbringing in one of the most war-torn parts of the world shaped her musical and personal goals, instilling a burning desire to spread the message of peace through her music and voice. Liel’s personal crusade to promote peace and for the well being of children all over the world has brought the singer-songwriter international attention as her generation’s symbol of peace.

In 2007 Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert nominated Liel as Official Ambassador for Northern Israel. She has also serves as official ambassador for The Peres Center for Peace, Sheba Medical Center Children’s Hospital and international peace organizations Seeds of Peace and Children of Peace. In addition, since beginning her musical career at age 13, Liel has performed to raise funds and awareness for a number of organizations, including the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNISEF), Women’s International Zionist Organization (WIZO), The Urban Zen Foundation, KidsRights, Save a Child’s Heart (SACH) and Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).

Liel’s performances are more than just music. A true ambassador of peace, Liel’s songs move and leave audiences with a remarkable experience.

Curatorial Statement:

Artists and Academics are a famously peripatetic bunch, often wandering the nation like vagabonds for various causes, washing up in unexpected places like so much flotsam and jetsam in a Tom Hanks movie. And so it was, like many before that I found myself in the Fall of 2010 wandering the unknown lands of an uncharted territory that I knew only as “South Florida”. After I gained my bearings and found a reliable source of fresh water, I was able to determine that this was in fact the southern edge of a very large peninsula that connected to the mainland at an unknown point north. The local inhabitants were pleasant people, and after relaying to them my peculiar interests they gave me directions to several cultural destinations that I might fancy. It was here, at the many gatherings and galleries that loosely define what one might call an “art-scene” that I began my investigation in greater depth. Finally, after two and a half years of inquiry and methodical study I have created the following curatorial effort to document my findings.

The artists in this exhibition are but a few of the many talented and dynamic individuals working today in South Florida, but their art spoke to me in a very direct way. All curators bring with them a sensibility, a vision of the world that frames and categorizes the overflowing efflorescence of creativity that one might dip a hand into in order to pull forth one thing over another for further consideration, and I am no exception. I like to think of this particular taxonomy, this exhibition, as a gemological display of Dark Crystals that are native to this region.

Firstly, I find in their work something mysterious and indefinable- a “darkness” that is not necessarily the darkness of death and decay, but more the penumbra of things unknown or imagined. At various times and in various instances I have thought of qualifying adjectives such as phantasm, visionary, mystic, imaginal, but I must admit there is no cudgel of descriptive clarity that would simplify and reduce the complexities of this x-factor into something suitable for a sound-bite or byline because the work remains multifarious and diverse. In this post-historical nether region that we have found ourselves inhabiting there no longer seem to be transcendental movements that permit the unification of artists into simplistic epistemological corrals like so many cattle into the Critical meat-grinder. On the contrary, each artist remains a universe unto themselves, a complete and fully functional idiosyncratic cosmology in which parts and pieces of the Universal have been lovingly crafted into something so specific it cannot be shared by language. The thread that guides us out of this labyrinth is only the path charted by my curatorial eye, which is to say a subjectivity that like the crystals in question, and the far-side of the moon, remains Dark, because it is knowable only in the abstract.

Similarly they possess a radiance and beauty that qualifies them as “Crystals”. Something magic perhaps as well, and like the molecular lattices of mineral samples, they vibrate with their own internal logic. What cannot be denied is that the works in question are indeed in possession of this vibrational energy, and though one may view such phenomenon with the haggard lens of scientific materialism, reducing all events into mere quantitative datum, ultimately the sensations of experience are to be felt and not measured. In this way these Dark Crystals are in possession of a certain quality that can be ascertained only through direct observation.

And so like a collector of beautiful shells, or more ominously of dried and mounted insects, I present to you a display of local talent. Each artist glimmers and shines with their own vintage aura, and like the facets in a great majestic diadem, here in this exhibition they form a type of unity. It has truly been a pleasure wandering in the wilderness and discovering these creators. I hope you will find in their work the same glittering magic that caught my eye as I surveyed the landscape, and that your experience of life will be made more vivid in some small way.

Over 500 artists from thirteen countries will be exhibited at the fair during Palm Beach’s Art Week of museum openings, Fotofusion,  gallery walks  and art performances.
The fair will honor the lifetime accomplishments of Italian master Lino Tagliapietra and will feature a one-man exhibition of major works presented by Schantz Galleries. Recently lauded with two Doctorates, Lino Tagliapietra is one of the world’s most accomplished artists working with art studio glass.  He has been exhibiting in museums around the globe, receiving countless honors, openly sharing his far-reaching knowledge of the medium and his skill as one of its finest practitioners, and helping to create a new renaissance in studio glassmaking.
Additional 2013 fair highlights:
Long-Sharp Gallery (Indianapolis) will exhibit “Politics, Peace and Passion, Reprise.” The tightly curated exhibition explores the influence of renowned 20th century masters on a group of contemporary artists.  This edition will challenge audiences by drawing parallels between artists motivated by similar causes, and with Gino Miles, introduces the juxtaposition of different mediums that speaks to the very root of Pop Art.
The Leslie Smith Gallery of Amsterdam will introduce Shanghai’s Simon Ma to the Palm Beach art scene, one of China’s most well known and internationally acclaimed artists. His cross-cultural approach to art, music and design has resulted in a highly vibrant and successful world tour exhibition, “The Soul-Drago+Cavallo,” which has received outstanding recognition. Simon Ma has created quite a legacy, collaborating successfully as an artistic designer with various major international brands such as Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari and Ducati.  His designs, such as the “Art Bubble Chair,” have been exhibited in the Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai.  His exhibition “Ink-Brush-Heart” curated by Achille Bonito Oliva and co-curated by Paolo de Grandis will be exhibited at the Venice Biennale in June 2013.

As South Floridians ring in the new year and pledge to make their health a priority, TeamFootWorks, producers of the Mercedes-Benz Corporate Run Series, is excited to announce the 2013 5K Run/Walk race dates and welcome the series’ new benefiting charity, United Way. Having attracted a record breaking 29,000 participants in 2012, the race series will once again take over South Florida with three runs beginning in Fort Lauderdale on April 4, continuing in West Palm Beach on April 17 and concluding in Miami on April 25, with a portion of the proceeds to benefit United Way. Registration for each run is now open.
 
"United Way is committed to the health and wellness of its employees and the various communities it serves,” said Harve A. Mogul, president and CEO, United Way of Miami-Dade. “The health and wellness of others impacts us all. When individuals have the opportunity to better health, the full potential of our young people is realized; business productivity increases, health care costs are lowered and we all win. We’re honored to be involved with the Mercedes-Benz Corporate Run series and look forward to working with TeamFootWorks to help transform people’s lives and create healthy communities throughout South Florida.”

The Mercedes-Benz Corporate Run Series attracts more than 1,100 South Florida Companies and incorporates a special competition to award the overall men’s, women’s and co-ed teams in 20 different industries. The run is open to employees of businesses, corporations, government agencies, financial institutions and non-profits – regardless of company size. Known as “Florida’s Largest Office Party”, everyone is encouraged to participate and join their company team to walk or run as a group. Beginners can “ease into exercise” with friends, gain inspiration and motivation to continue walking and running to improve overall health, while competitive runners have the opportunity to shine amongst their co-workers and lead the corporate team to victory. Often this is the first step towards greater health and wellness amongst South Florida employees and their companies.

“Whether the race series is your first step toward fitness or an office tradition, the Corporate Run is about having fun, getting healthy and boosting company morale,” said Laurie Huseby, race director, Mercedes-Benz Corporate Run. “The benefits of adding fitness to your life are numerous and we’re proud to be committed to that process for more than 28 years.”

We’re very excited to welcome Brooklyn’s Rubblebucket to the Funky Biscuit on Thursday, October 25th!  Achieving widespread respect as one of the most hyped bands on the circuit by mixing psychedelic indie rock, upbeat dance and radiant, left-field arrangements, this is a band that must be seen live. The eclectic seven-piece hit the festival scene hard this year including sets at Bonnaroo and Catskill Chill, and made their debut late night TV appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Catch them now at the intimate Funky Biscuit before they’re filling theaters. The Resolvers will get things started with their unique brand of ‘Big Band Reggae’.

Rubblebucket: Led by the musical couple of front woman Kalmia Traver and bandleader/trumpeter Alex Toth, Rubblebucket has spent the last four years building a reputation as a band that blurs the lines between psychedelic indie rock, upbeat dance, and radiant, left-field arrangements. The band’s 2011 album “Omega La La” marked a milestone for Rubblebucket. Recorded at Plantain/DFA Studios with Producer Eric Broucek (LCD Soundsystem, Cut Copy)) the band dipped into everything from dancey indie-pop arrangements to Fela-Kuti inspired afro-beat stomps. The record has earned a wealth of praise, with Paste Magazine calling it “instrumentally rich but catchy enough to ass-kick Katy Perry off the pop charts (in a just world)—mega-melodic without sacrificing an ounce of atmosphere or creativity. Rubblebucket has graced the stage at Bonnaroo, All Good, High Sierra, moe.down, Catskill Chill, and many other festivals. In June 2012 they made their debut late night TV appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and they celebrated the release of a new EP “Oversaturated” in September. Video from Jimmy Kimmel Live: http://bit.ly/SAi80h | www.Rubblebucket.com

The Resolvers: Hailing from South Florida, The Resolvers play ‘Big Band Reggae.’ As the name implies, the new sound draws influences from classic Jamaican Reggae, Rocksteady and Ska along with American Rock, Jazz, Funk and Soul. Their live show has been described as explosive with up to ten musicians on stage including five singers and the “Dirty Hamsa Horn Stars”, a powerful four-piece horn section. Each individual member brings their personal influences and inspirations to the collective sound. To brother & sister vocalists Ojay and Sahara Smith, reggae music is a family legacy. Their father, Ernie Smith, is the well-known Jamaican reggae singer who penned classics such as "Duppy Gunman" and “Bend Down”, among others. The Resolvers new album, Big Band Reggae (March 2012) debuted at Number 5 on the Billboard Reggae Charts and completely erases any notion of what you thought reggae music was capable of. The Resolvers have shared the stage with The Wailers, Stephen Marley, Damian Marley, Inner Circle, Yellowman and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry along many other world renowned acts in major International festivals such as Marley Fest, Jamaican Jazz & Blues Fest, SunFest, AURA Music & Arts Festival, Dub Fest and more. www.TheResolvers.com

2012 Blues Music Awards Winner Tedeschi Trucks Band Headlines The Inaugural Sunshine Blues Festival

Winner of four Blues Music Awards and a Grammy Award for “Best Blues Album” the Tedeschi Trucks Band will headline the inaugural Sunshine Blues Festival in Florida, playing three dates in the state.  Featuring two stages of live bands, the Festival will make its debut at Centennial Park in Fort Myers, Friday, January 18, 2013, with music starting at 12:30PM.  Then, Saturday, January 19, 2013, with music starting at 11AM, it comes to Mizner Park Amphitheater, Boca Raton in South Florida and finally Sunday, January 20, 2013, with music starting at 10:45AM, at Vinoy Park, St. Petersburg in the Tampa Bay Area.

“The Blues is where it all began for Modern Music in America,” says Neil Jacobsen, President – Live Nation Florida.  “Putting this show together has been a labor of love and we are very excited to bring a world class Blues Festival to Florida as an annual event.”

It has been an amazing year for the Tedeschi Trucks Band or TTB as their loyal fans prefer to call them.  In February their album Revelator won the Grammy Award for “Best Blues Album.”  Then in July they dominated the Blues Music Awards (formerly the WC Handy Awards) where they won not only Album of the Year, but also took home trophies for Band of the Year, Gibson Guitar Award (Derek Trucks) and Contemporary Blues Female Artist (Susan Tedeschi).  True to Truck’s promise, the album delivered a collection of blues-dipped rockers and heart stirring ballads in which the echoes of so many great traditions flowed together naturally, blending with an entirely original, modern sensibility. Critically acclaimed as a 4 Star “masterpiece” by Rolling Stone magazine and simply “Outstanding” by USA Today, Revelator broke into the Billboard Top 200 chart at #12, bringing both artists to their highest first week sales and charting of their careers. Their second album, Everybody’s Talkin’ is a double live disc recorded on the band’s fall tour last year.

Tedeschi Trucks Band is an 11-member ensemble overflowing with talent and musical familiarity.  In addition to Susan Tedeschi (a six time grammy nominee) and Derek Trucks (who is currently #16 on Rolling Stone’s list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time) the band includes harmony singers Mike Mattison and Mark Rivers, brothers Oteil Burbridge (long time bassist for the Allman Brothers Band) and Kofi Burbridge (longtime keyboardist/flutist  with The Derek Trucks Band), a pair of drummers J. J. Johnson and Tyler Greenwell, as well as trumpeter Maurice Brown, tenor saxophonist Kebbi Williams, and trombonist Saunders Sermons.  “We are thrilled to be a part of these inaugural festivals in our home state of Florida, and share the stage with some great musicians and friends.”-Derek Truck and Susan Tedeschi,

Also highlighting the inaugural bill for the Festival are: contemporary guitar legend Walter Trout formerly with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers; Louisiana slide wizard Sonny Landreth; Allman Brothers drummer Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band; The Wood Brothers, featuring Chris from Modeski, Martin & Wood and his well-known singer/songwriter brother Oliver; award-winning British blues guitarist Matt Schofield; the driving force of urban funk, Big Sam’s Funky Nation; Florida guitar favorite Bobby Lee Rodgers; multiple Grammy and Blues Music Award-winner Joe Louis Walker; the no-frills blend of Chicago, Texas, and Delta blues of guitarist Sean Chambers; and the one and only New Orleans Blues Legend Dr. John (St. Petersburg and Boca Raton only).  At last a real Blues Festival that will become an annual event for the Sunshine State!

“The Manor”
Blood is thicker than water. After nearly a decade of dormancy, the evil behind the grisly family slayings has resurfaced. Trip back to the scene of the crime; the old rickety house that is still haunted by the tortured souls of a family legacy . . . Murder!!!

“Kill Shot”

But your senses have only begun to realize the horror that walks within these walls. Just around the next corner lies a clan of the undead. Soul sucking, flesh-eating, zombiefied goons, that were turned cannibal by a chemical spill in the factory. Be afraid . . . Be very afraid!

“Carnival Of Creeps”
In the dusty corners of America’s vast Midwest lie the remnants of an old time Carnival past. Tattered tents loom on the horizon as shadowy figures prepare for the evening’s show. These are the creeps that bring you the finest in midway mayhem and paste-faced tomfoolery. They were kicked out of every “reputable” Carnival nationwide for offenses ranging from animal abuse to torture and even suspected murder! Peel back the canvas tent and step inside the three ring circus that can only be . . . the Carnival of Creeps!

“The Creature”
Caution . . . As you move through the gaping maw of this diabolical and strange Creature, try not to let your worst nightmares overwhelm you! If you’re brave enough after being swallowed by this enormous Creature you will be left with the sense that “There is No Way Out!!!!” This is when the terror just begins! The insides come alive on their own terms and the wrath of the beast makes itself known. Say your prayers . . . If you have the time!

“Santa’s Workshop”
There are too many naughty children these days and it has driven Santa Claus to the ultimate edge! This once jolly jovial man has become jaded and angry from the lack of Christmas spirit. So he brings forth a mythical holiday creature called Krampus to help him deal with all the unruly people that are ruining things. The horned and hooved beast has been sneaking into the homes and kidnapping children that are put to work alongside Santa’s demented elves. On Christmas Eve, wielding his trusty axe, Santa will deal with the rest of the world on a case by case basis. There will be no presents and don’t bother with the milk and cookies. The real question here is . . . have you been Naughty or Nice?

And Now For The First Time Our Whole Venue Has Become “A Designed To Terrify” Scare Zone!
Our Army Of Buzz Saw Zombies And Other Terrifying Creatures Will Bring New Horrors Guarenteed To Heighten Your Fright Quotient!
Plus…The Monster Midway Has Doubled In Size
With Rides, Games & Much, Much More!

The Heavy Pets at Funky Biscuit 8/29/12

Before heading out on another East Coast tour with stops in Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Massachusetts, New York and Ohio, The Heavy Pets are playing a hometown show at The Funky Biscuit in Boca Raton on Wednesday, August 29th. This also marks bass player Tony D’Amato’s first Florida performance since joining the band, which has fans very excited.

www.TheHeavyPets.com | www.Facebook.com/TheHeavyPets | Twitter: @TheHeavyPets

The Heavy Pets (THP) are an American rock band whose contagious vibe blends rhythm and blues, jazz-funk, nu-disco and reggae fusion with rock and roll. Called “a living, breathing, force of nature” by Relix, THP are known for powerhouse live performances and infectious dance songs framing catchy smart lyrics. The group became an instant Sirius radio sensation in 2007 with the release of their double-disc debut album, Whale, driven by hit tracks “Operation of Flight” and “Sleep.” First embraced by the jam scene for their raw talent, their cross-over sound that is showcased on their self-titled album and was dubbed a “Top 10 Album of 2010” by The Huffington Post, propelled them into the periphery of mainstream music. Returning to their acoustic roots on Swim Out Past the Sun (2011), THP’s guitar duo set aside their electric axes for a more organic approach. Featuring a three song sit-in by longtime Jerry Garcia collaborator David Grisman, the album presents a fresh perspective from the ever-evolving quintet. Swim Out Past the Sun was produced and recorded by multi-platinum, Grammy and Oscar Award-winner Scott Mathews and mastered by Grammy Award-winner Vlado Meller. Major festival darlings, THP have taken the stage at JamCruise, Bonnaroo, High Sierra, Gathering of the Vibes, moe.down, Summercamp, All Good, Wakarusa, Bear Creek, Mountain Jam and their namesake PetZoo.

Rock ‘n Roll doesn’t get any bigger than this! Kiss and Mötley Crüe… On the same stage… On the same night. This spectacle of spectacles announced today, Kiss and Mötley Crüe are uniting to launch The Tour of 2012. The summer’s biggest, baddest rock tour will level 40+ cities nationwide starting July 20th.

With combined album sales of almost 200 million, Kiss and Mötley Crüe are more than just iconic; they remain today as the dominant powerhouses of rock music tallying 30+ chart-topping hits, countless sold out tours and awards and accolades from around the world. Known for their elaborate and spectacular stage shows, each band plans to give fans the ultimate summer concert experience with the most impressive lighting and sound production ever and their signature over-the-top pyrotechnics. This is the first time Kiss and Mötley Crüe will share a stage since 1982.

Kiss consists of Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer. Mötley Crüe consists of Vince Neil, Mick Mars, Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee.

These veterans of the music business are still at the height of their popularity. Kiss is the juggernaut of them all, with 3,000 licensed merchandise products, including the Kiss golf course in Las Vegas and a new album. KISS has broken box office records set by The Beatles and Elvis. Mötley Crüe is the first rock band in history to have just completed an epic sold-out Las Vegas residency at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The band is best known for continuing to reinvent not only their live show (with mind blowing elements such as Tommy Lee’s 360 drum roller coaster) and music (brand new song due out this spring), but remain on the cutting edge via social media interaction. Mötley Crüe’s New York Times bestselling book The Dirt is currently being adapted into a major motion picture. Last month, the band was featured in one of the highest rated Super Bowl ads of all time for the KIA Optima.

While you are waiting for The Tour to arrive in SFL, be sure to check out the new Mötley Crüe single “Sex” dropping on July 17th. According to Blabbermouth, the song will debut on SiriusXM on Friday, July 13. “Sex” is the first release from Mötley Crüe since “Saints of Los Angeles” in 2008. The band wrote “Sex” during their Las Vegas residency earlier this year and it was recorded in The Atrium, Tommy Lee’s studio in Calabasas, California.
