Roland Entertainment announced today that teen rapper Baby Jay has been invited for a second time to perform at Fort Hood for their "Teen Back to School Bash & Carnival" per recommendation from the Grammys organization Texas Chapter. The event is presented by The U.S. Army Child, Youth & School Services in partnership with The USO. Baby Jay will headline the event for teens from the Fort Hood community (Killeen, Copperas Cove, Harker Heights, Belton) at Bronco Youth Center. The audience will get to hear new unreleased songs from his anticipated sophomore CD "LUV & RESPECT" coming 2012 and also songs from his first CD "Keepin It Real."

Baby Jay has been creating a new movement in the hip-hop/rap industry and continues to make a positive impact in the lives of hundreds of thousands of youth throughout the country. He has been performing professionally mostly in schools since the age of 14 and has some great accomplishments in six years with the support of fans, friends and his manager, Rolando Cuellar.

Some of his accolades include becoming the first rapper - and youngest - to receive the key to the city of Houston, three official city proclamations "Baby Jay Day," a certificate of special congressional recognition, officially inducted into the Latin Grammys tour bus exhibit and received a "World Peace Award" as a gift from Peter Yarrow from the legendary group "Peter, Paul, & Mary."

His debut CD "Keepin It Real," which was released in 2007, is fulfilling its purpose which is to provide youth, educators, administrators and parents with songs about non-violence, teen pregnancy, saying no to drugs, inspirational, staying in school, relationships and the first ever anti-bullying rap song/DVD "Don't Laugh at Me" implemented in thousands of schools across the country!

Baby Jay has opened up for acts like Raven Symone from the TV show "That's So Raven," B5, Omarion, Coolio, Young MC, Soulja Boy and Twista - to name a few! In 2010 and 2011, Baby Jay continued to perform and make special appearances including his debut college performance at Dartmouth College and his latest 9th New York School tour on May 23, 2011 - with many more performances to come and an innovative anticipated sophomore CD "LUV & RESPECT" coming early 2012.

Judds to ‘Turn It Loose’ in Final Appearance on Their Last Encore Tour

Author: Alliance Healthcare Foundation
Dateline: Lady Lake, Florida (LADY LAKE, Fla.)  | Mon, 15 Aug 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Naomi and Wynonna Judd, the most successful female duo in country music history, will soon take their final Florida bow on The 'Last Encore Tour,' as headliners for The Grand Oaks Festival featuring The Judds, Saturday, October 15, 2011. The concert will benefit the Alliance Healthcare Foundation.”



A R T I C L E:

Naomi and Wynonna Judd, the most successful female duo in country music history, will soon take their final Florida bow on The "Last Encore Tour," as headliners for The Grand Oaks Festival featuring The Judds, Saturday, October 15. The concert will benefit the Alliance Healthcare Foundation.

"Tickets are now on sale for the festival which will be held at The Grand Oaks Resort, a 400-acre premier equine-inspired resort located at 3000 Marion County Rd. in Weirsdale, between Orlando and Ocala just off US Hwy. 441/27," said Ted Williams, Vice President of the Alliance Healthcare Foundation, a not-for-profit Foundation which provides philanthropic support for Leesburg Regional Medical Center and The Villages Health System.

Visit The Grand Oaks website at www.thegrandoaks.com for tickets, information and directions to the resort. Admission starts at $35 for lawn seating, $60 for general admission seating and $125 for preferred seating. All major credit cards are accepted. Gates open the day of the event at 10 a.m. and The Judds are scheduled to perform at 3 p.m.

Admission to the festival will include The Judds and other entertainment and events including opening acts Rob Nichols, Norman Lee, The Calhouns and Donna Moore

Naomi and Wynonna, who have won over 60 industry awards - including five Grammy Awards - will sing classic breakout hits including "Mama, He's Crazy," "Why Not Me," "Love Can Build a Bridge," "Girls Night Out," and "Grandpa (Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days)." Wynonna will also perform some of her biggest hits.

Mother and daughter enjoyed an astounding run of 14 number one singles from 1984 to 1989, ranking them as one of the most popular country acts of the '80s - a legacy which endures, today.

After winning the CMA's Vocal Group/Duo of the Year Award every year from 1985 to 1991, Naomi and Wynonna were forced to split when Naomi was diagnosed with a chronic illness that nearly took her life and led to her retirement from touring with her daughter. Through the years, her condition has improved and she's been able to reunite with her daughter on occasion. Today, Naomi says, "I am the healthiest, happiest and most fit I've ever been."

The Last Encore Tour kicked off in November 2010.

Sesene Entertainment Releases Hot Club Download of Renowned Turntablist DJ Jimmy Stewart Jr.

Author: Sesene Entertainment
Dateline: San Francisco, California (SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.)  | Tue, 09 Aug 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “DJ Jimmy Stewart Jr. just finished his 'I have a Dream' record and Sesene Entertainment is promoting it via a free download on its web site. 'To date, this is the most powerful piece Stewart has done and he believes that this is one of those projects that is and will always be bigger than him,' says Sean Alfonso, president/CEO of Sesene Entertainment.”



A R T I C L E:

DJ Jimmy Stewart Jr. just finished his "I have a Dream" record and Sesene Entertainment is promoting it via a free download on its web site. "To date, this is the most powerful piece Stewart has done and he believes that this is one of those projects that is and will always be bigger than him," says Sean Alfonso, president/CEO of Sesene Entertainment.

While attending the Electric Daisy Convention in Las Vegas, Stewart was inspired to create a song that he believed could be an Instant Anthem - "I have a Dream."

And, he just may be onto something. Stewart has received multiple calls and messages from DJs and producers around the globe about this song; they are requesting a release date and download information.

"Stewart is a diamond in the rough; he is an authentic turntablist and is the most skilled scratch and party-rocking DJ that I have seen in years. I can't wait to witness what he is going to do next," says Alfonso.

"I Have a Dream" does serious musical justice to Martin Luther King's infamous speech of August 1963. The mix is ideal for dance clubs - it's house music at its best.

About Jimmy Stewart Jr.:

Stewart is a Club 997 resident DJ, a radio station in San Francisco (997 NOW) - home to the Bay Area's top hits, pop culture news, hot new music and celebrity gossip. He is one of the Bay Area's top DJs and is now making international waves as a producer.

He has done more than 30 remixes which have been played internationally and now he has written and produced an original song/record.

Taking notes from some of the world's superstar DJs, Stewart believes that this "breakout" track is a great way to get the ball rolling and start moving to that next level.

Sacred Meets Profane on New Album from Larisa Stow and Shakti Tribe

Author: Larisa Stow and Shakti Tribe
Dateline: Los Angeles, California (LOS ANGELES, Calif.)  | Mon, 04 Jul 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “While 'mantra-rock' may not yet be a recognized music genre, it springs to life with the delightful onslaught of sound from Larisa Stow and Shakti Tribe on their new album, 'Rock on Sat Nam!' (Prema Shakti Music). The vocals are impassioned and the music soothes one minute and urges you into aural ecstasy the next.”



A R T I C L E:

While "mantra-rock" may not yet be a recognized music genre, it springs to life with the delightful onslaught of sound from Larisa Stow & Shakti Tribe on their new album, "Rock on Sat Nam!" (Prema Shakti Music). The vocals are impassioned and the music soothes one minute and urges you into aural ecstasy the next.

At the heart of her songs is a spirituality that is part of the very core of her being. "I believe that music is the bridge that brings us together," says Stow. "When I integrate sounds from another culture, I feel like I am embracing it, declaring our oneness," she states. The album title combines English and Sanskrit and may be translated as a call to "Live a Truthful Life."

The entire album will be available in a "name your own price" offer from July 4 through July 18, 2011. Check the artist website for details. "Even after the special promotion ends, there will always be at least one free track available," notes manager Leanne Wood. "In addition, you can enjoy Larisa's music on YouTube," she adds.

Larisa Stow brings out emotional reactions from listeners. For example, Shannon Nies in VISION Magazine writes that Stow is "passionate about closing the bridge between different people and cultures," and that Stow's music "is about awakening the leader and visionary within ourselves."

The band is: Larisa Stow on vocals, Kimo Estores on lead guitar, Benj Clarke on bass and loops, and Richard Hardy (Carole King, Dave Matthews Band, Lyle Lovett, David Lindley) on woodwinds. Occasionally sitting in are good friends and honorary tribe members Walfredo Reyes Jr. (Santana, Steve Winwood, Traffic), and Victor Bisetti (Los Lobos, Elvis Costello).

About Larisa Stow:

Stow's mix of spiritually-inspired lyrics, catchy melodies and pop grooves continues to earn her awards, albums, and major gigs. At the turn of the century, as the promise of the "big record deal" hung in the air, Larisa walked away to learn how to create music as a pure expression of love. She worked with Thomas Ashley-Farrand (author of "Healing Mantras") and then explored kirtan (devotional call-and-response music) and chant music. "What I found," she states, "was deeper into music and deeper into my soul." Learn more at: http://www.larisastow.com .

About Non-Profit Shakti Tribe Foundation:

Bringing messages of peace, hope and love in order to empower, transform and educate are the goals of Shakti Tribe Foundation, a 501[c](3) dedicated to teaching the concepts of Oneness: that we are all connected by the invisible threads of our humanity beyond race and religion. Larisa Stow sees this work as pivotal in positively touching people's lives.

Top 10 AC Charting Artist SJ to Pre-Release Freshman LP

Author: Acoustic Soul Records
Dateline: New York, New York (NEW YORK, N.Y.)  | Wed, 11 May 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Top 10 national AC radio charting Miami-based artist, SJ, will pre-release his freshman commercial LP, 'Coffee,' on May 31, 2011, following exclusive fan and press events at SoHo House (May 11, New York) and Van Dyke Cafe (May 24, Miami). Released by Acoustic Soul Records, the album channels hints of productions by Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews and Counting Crows, with SJ's personal touch.”



A R T I C L E:

Top 10 national AC radio charting Miami-based artist, SJ, will pre-release his freshman commercial LP, "Coffee," on May 31, 2011, following exclusive fan and press events at SoHo House (May 11, New York) and Van Dyke Cafe (May 24, Miami). "Coffee" blends folk and rock arrangements with a soulful voice and catchy melodic hooks to create an acoustically soulful sound, resonating of a classic crisp Nashville sound paired with a Miami percussive pulse. Released by Acoustic Soul Records, the album channels hints of productions by Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews and Counting Crows, with SJ's personal touch.

SJ is best known for his U.S. AC chart-climbing folkie ballad, "I Like You," which is also currently a Top 20 song on Sirius XM's The Coffeehouse Channel's charts. It has won awards in Hollywood and England, and is gaining popularity on Australian radio. SJ, also fluent in Spanish, released a Spanish-language version of his single, which has just been nominated as one of 14 finalists in the Latin category (out of thousands) in Nashville's prestigious International Songwriting Contest.

Both versions were mixed and mastered by multi-Grammy(R) Award Winning engineer Carlos Alvarez. "Coffee" was mixed by industry legend multi-platinum engineer Bob Rosa (Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston), and mastered by Sterling Sound's Ryan Smith (James Taylor, Rufus Wainwright, Beyonce). It was produced by SJ, Oszy Carmona and Peter Finley, and Derek Olds ("I Like You").

The pre-release of "Coffee" rounds out SJ's successful 3-month coast-to-coast U.S. tour. Sirius XM's The Coffeehouse will air an exclusive 30-minute segment of SJ performing live on May 19, 2011, at 12 a.m. and 12 p.m. EDT. The album will fully launch in 2012 with national and international tour dates TBD.

About SJ:

SJ's back story is a bit unorthodox but quite interesting. He's pursuing his music because it's his passion, and while still young enough he has left behind a career as an established international corporate attorney, previously representing the likes of Fortune 100 companies. He's a self-motivated indie artist through and through, and he created his trademarked brand Acoustic Soul to rollout his independent, strategic DIY vision for his music in today's new music industry. The combination of SJ's catchy hooks, acoustic chops, soulful voice, chill spirit, business acumen and rapidly growing fan base has him poised for national and international popularity.

Sandra Piller New Single ‘Fixin’ To Fall’ Reaches Country Radio Fans

Author: Sandra Piller
Dateline: Los Angeles, California (LOS ANGELES, Calif.)  | Mon, 11 Apr 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Strong radio airplay, a steady climb up the charts and numerous awards have greeted songs from Sandra Piller's current album, 'Days Like These,' and now she is releasing her next single to country radio, 'Fixin' To Fall.' The tune is 'an upbeat love song that makes you want to dance,' notes Piller.”



A R T I C L E:

Strong radio airplay, a steady climb up the charts and numerous awards have greeted songs from Sandra Piller's current album, "Days Like These," and now she is releasing her next single to country radio, "Fixin' To Fall." The tune is "an upbeat love song that makes you want to dance," notes Piller.

Written by Jolene Kay Schmitz, the song lets Sandra really get into the fun and romance of the lyrics: "I'm fixin' to fall in love with you, my heart is slippin' into your eyes of blue." With strong bluegrass harmonies, the song also features solos on fiddle, Telecaster and piano.

The "Days Like These" album, released this year on Shady Hill Records, was recorded at "Cowboy" Jack Clement's studio in Nashville. The album's dozen tracks were produced by Jane Bach (writer of hits for Reba McEntire, Jo Dee Messina and others) and Executive Producer Clement (producer of hits for Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and a host of other country legends).

The story of how Sandra Piller (www.sandrapiller.com) came to record county music is one of inspiration, hard work and patience. Putting a singing career on hold in order to raise her family, she returned to her first love of music "a little later in life than the typical teen singer," as she puts it. With this, her newest album, she is moving ahead with a career that has already seen her named Country Artist of the Year from New Music Weekly magazine.

Most recently, her live show has added keyboardist and music director Loren Gold, noted for his work on large tours by Mandy Moore, Kelly Clarkson, Kelly Pickler, the Dancing with the Stars touring show, and the American Idol live shows.

The "Days Like These" album is available on iTunes, Amazon, and all the usual places for physical and digital distribution, with promotion and marketing headed by Harvey Cooper, former head of 20th Century Fox Records.

A R T I C L E:

Songwriters, music publishers, and holders of intellectual property are invited to attend the California Copyright Conference presentation "Music Rights from a Global Perspective" on the evening of Wednesday, April 13 in Sherman Oaks (Los Angeles).

With the ongoing upheaval of many aspects of the music industry, this examination of foreign markets comes at an opportune time. "While the domestic music market continues to struggle," notes CCC board member Eric Palmquist of Disney, "copyright owners have become increasingly interested in the opportunities that exist overseas."

Speaking from his office, CCC President Shawn LeMone noted that "Foreign performance royalties have been a steady source of growth as the industry continues to struggle in other areas." LeMone, who is VP of Film & TV at ASCAP, added that "Anyone with a financial stake in music should be interested in hearing what this impressive array of international panelists has to say."

Moderating the presentation will be Carpenter, who says she is looking forward to hearing inside information regarding the territories represented by each panelist as well as hearing their perspective on global music rights in the digital age. "We will discuss foreign royalties, copyright issues, emerging music markets and other relevant topics," says Carpenter. Following the panel will be a question-and-answer session.

Panelists on the program include:

* Tomas Ericsson, Deputy CEO of STIM (Sweden/Scandinavia);
* Laurence Bony, Director of International Department for SACEM (France);
* C. Paul Spurgeon, VP Legal Services & General Counsel for SOCAN (Canada);
* Teresa Alfonso, SGAE Board of directors (Digital branch of SGAE) and Emeritus Counselor, International SGAE Committee for International Affairs; VP, Spanish Music Publishers Association in charge of International affairs; Owner, Teddysound Music (Spain);
* Cecile Bernier, Head of Copyright & Royalties, Une Musique/TF1 (France).

When and Where:

This special CCC program will take place Wednesday, April 13, 2011 at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, 15433 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks, CA 91403 (near Sepulveda & Ventura Blvd., just West of the 405 freeway). The parking entrance is on Orion Avenue and parking is free with validation at the event. Check-in is at 6:15 p.m., cocktails begin at 6:30, dinner at 7:00 with the presentation to follow. Cost is $40 for CCC members and college students with I.D., $50 for non-members.

About the California Copyright Conference:

The California Copyright Conference was established in 1953 for the discussion of copyright-related areas pertaining to music and entertainment. The CCC encourages, fosters and promotes an interest in all materials relating to copyrighting and other protection of intellectual and creative properties.

Bob Moog Foundation Announces Spectrasonics Benefit

Author: The Bob Moog Foundation
Dateline: Asheville, North Carolina (ASHEVILLE, N.C.)  | Mon, 21 Mar 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “The Bob Moog Foundation today announced that music software developer Spectrasonics has launched a unique, multi-faceted tribute to honor the legacy of synthesizer pioneer Dr. Robert Moog. Spectrasonics has released the 'Bob Moog Tribute Library' created by renowned artists for Spectrasonics' Omnisphere virtual instrument software.”



A R T I C L E:

The Bob Moog Foundation today announced that music software developer Spectrasonics has launched a unique, multi-faceted tribute to honor the legacy of synthesizer pioneer Dr. Robert Moog. Spectrasonics has released the "Bob Moog Tribute Library" created by renowned artists for Spectrasonics' Omnisphere(R) virtual instrument software, and also kicked off a contest designed around the library, where participants enter to win the one-of-a-kind "OMG-1" hardware synthesizer created by Spectrasonics' Founder, Eric Persing. 100% of the proceeds from this Tribute go to benefit the Bob Moog Foundation.

Spectrasonics' Bob Moog Tribute library features over 700 stunning new sounds for Omnisphere, Spectrasonics' flagship synthesizer, and was produced by Persing. The sounds in the new library were created by more than 40 of the world's top synth artists, remixers and sound designers, including Hans Zimmer, Vince Clarke (Erasure/Depeche Mode), Jean Michel Jarre, The Crystal Method, Jordan Rudess, Money Mark (Beastie Boys/Beck), Bernie Worrell (P-Funk/Talking Heads), Larry Fast (Peter Gabriel/Synergy), Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Air/Fiona Apple), Ryuichi Sakamoto (YMO), Morgan Page (Madonna/Katy Perry), Keith Shocklee (Bomb Squad/Public Enemy), Steve Porcaro (Toto), Fredwreck (Snoop Dogg/50 Cent), Jan Hammer (Jeff Beck/Mahavishnu Orchestra), Michael Boddicker (Michael Jackson), Richard Devine (Aphex Twin), Patrick Moraz (Yes/Moody Blues), Eddie Jobson (UK/Roxy Music), Diego Stocco, Danny Elfman, The Moog Cookbook, and many more.

"Through this stunning Tribute Library, Eric Persing's passion for sonic innovation is manifested in a multi-layered homage to Bob Moog's pioneering work and legacy," said Michelle Moog-Koussa, executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation. "That passion is continued through the myriad of synthesists and sound designers who have participated by donating sonic tributes in the way of patches and sounds. The Bob Moog Foundation is deeply grateful to Eric, Spectrasonics and the participating musicians for the creativity and generosity that has driven this project. Without a doubt, the funding generated from the Tribute Library will be a tremendous help in driving our mission forward."

The grand prize in Spectrasonics' contest, the OMG-1 hardware synthesizer, was designed by Persing as a live performance instrument and is not a commercial product - it's truly one-of-a-kind, integrating the worlds of analog synthesis, computers, software synthesis and the latest multi-touch surfaces into one extraordinary instrument. The state-of-the-art dual manual OMG-1 combines a Moog Little Phatty(R) analog synthesizer, Spectrasonics' flagship Omnisphere software synthesizer, a powerful internal Apple Mac Mini computer, dual Apple iPads(R), dual iPods(R), and Spectrasonics' brand-new Omni TR(TM) iPad app - all integrated into a beautiful, hand-crafted curly maple cabinet created by American artisan Daniel Auon.

Contestants vying to win the OMG-1 buy and download the $100 "Bob Moog Tribute Library" for Spectrasonics' Omnisphere software, then write one or more pieces of music utilizing the sounds from the library. The deadline for submission is July 15, 2011. Spectrasonics will be flying the contest winner to the October 2011 "MoogFest" in Asheville, NC, where Eric Persing will present the OMG-1 grand prize to the winner.
