SUMMARY:Grand Funk Railroad Concert
DESCRIPTION:Top selling “The American Band” of the 70’s\, is “COMIN’ TO YOUR TOWN TO HELP YOU PARTY IT DOWN.” Grand Funk Railroad laid the groundwork for such bands as Foreigner\, Journey\, Van Halen and Bon Jovi with its signature hard driving sound\, soulful vocals\, muscular instrumentation and forceful pop melodies. The fact that Grand Funk’s legacy still reigns over the Classic Rock landscape forty years after its 1969 birth in Flint\, Michigan is a testament to the group’s influence and staying power. Mega-hits “We’re An American Band\,” “I’m Your Captain/Closer To Home\,” “Locomotion\,” and “Some Kind Of Wonderful” still receive continuous airplay on Classic Rock radio.\nInternationally acclaimed Grand Funk has toured the world\, selling out in the US\, Canada\, Europe\, Japan\, and South America. A 1971 performance at New York’s Shea Stadium sold out faster than the Beatles. Over their career\, Grand Funk has had 19 charted singles\, eight Top 40 hits and two #1 singles. The group has now accumulated 13 gold and 10 platinum records with sales in excess of 25 million copies worldwide.

SUMMARY:Martha Redbone / The Garden of Love: Songs of William Blake
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, Nov. 30\, 2017\, 7:30 p.m. – Martha Street Culp Auditorium\nMartha Redbone / The Garden of Love: Songs of William Blake\nIn The Garden of Love – a collection of William Blake poems set to the music by singer-songwriter and American roots singer Martha Redbone and produced in album form by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s John McEuen – Redbone fuses the mystical\, humanistic words of the 18th-century English poet with the melodies\, drones and rhythms of the Appalachian string-band music. “The Garden of Love poignantly reveals a musician at the top of her game\, vocally\, intellectually\, and spiritually\,” says Tim Johnson of the National Museum of the American Indian. “One not only hears the voice of the Bard … but also the very origins of American music arising from the blend of American Indian\, African American and English folk music traditions.” The ETSU Old Time Ramblers will open the concert. Tickets for the event are $20/15/5 and can be purchased online at www.etsu.edu/martin or by calling Kristi Smith at 423-439-8587.

SUMMARY:Farm and Fun Time  Christmas Ball ft. The Secret Sisters\,  Jill Andrews
DESCRIPTION:Come one\, come all! To the Radio Bristol Farm & Fun Time Christmas Ball! Featuring The Secret Sisters and Jill Andrews\, live from the Birthplace of Country Music Museum!\nDate: Saturday\, December 2\, 2017\nTime: 7:00 p.m.\n(Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Must be in your seat by 6:50 p.m.)\nLocation: Birthplace of Country Music Museum\nTickets: $30\nPURCHASE TICKETS\nCome celebrate the Christmas season with a festive\, live radio show at the Birthplace of Country Music!\nFarm & Fun Time\, the historic Radio Program broadcasting from Downtown Bristol\, was a staple to listeners across the Southeast during the 1940s and 1950s on the former WCYB Radio. Radio Bristol breathes new life into the classic program with a fun\, energetic show broadcasting live from the Birthplace of Country Music Museum and features music by house band Bill & the Belles. Hosted by Radio Bristol producer and house band-leader Kris Truelsen\, Farm & Fun Time is an event the whole family can enjoy live\, in the studio or when gathered around their radios.\n\nAbout The Secret Sisters\nThere are two ways of handling a dangerous\, raging river: you can surrender and let it carry you away\, or you can swim against the flow. For The Secret Sisters\, there was a point after the release of their last record when they could have chosen to do neither – instead\, sinking to the bottom as the weight of the world washed away their dreams. They went from touring with Bob Dylan to losing their label\, purging their team\, filing bankruptcy and almost permanently trading harmonies for housecleaning. But there’s a mythical pull to music that kept sisters Laura and Lydia Rogers moving forward\, and they came out with a biting and beautiful third LP\, produced by Brandi Carlile\, You Don’t Own Me Anymore. Their first as New West signees\, it’s a document of hardship and redemption\, of pushing forward when it would be so much easier to drown in grief. And it’s a story about how passion and pure artistry can be the strongest sort of salvation – how art is left\, like perfect grains of sand\, when everything else has washed away.\nIt certainly would have been easier to just try and forget the past few years of The Secret Sisters’ life. After their second album\, Put Your Needle Down\, didn’t perform according to their label’s expectations – however unrealistic they were in this day and age – the duo was dropped\, leaving them with barely enough money to stay on the road and keep making music. So they retreated home to Alabama\, worn and weary from experiencing the devilish side of the industry first-hand\, scraping together whatever they could while trying to embrace what seemed to be a future without music. But when Carlile – someone whom The Secret Sisters have admired for years and one of our truest talents – offered to produce their record\, it made them think that a future was possible. Soon\, a PledgeMusic campaign that completely exceeded their hopes and dreams made it fiscally so.\nIn the beginning\, before that darkness moved in\, things were a little like rainbows and roses for the sisters\, who rose quickly through the music universe. An open audition in Nashville in 2009 lead them to a major label deal and a debut record produced by T Bone Burnett and Dave Cobb\, followed by a tour with Levon Helm and Ray LaMontagne\, a feat for any artist\, let alone two that had just gotten started.  From there\, they opened for the likes of Dylan\, Willie Nelson and Paul Simon\, appeared on numerous late night shows and released a second album with Burnett. But the tides turned quickly – things can change in an instant\, both for the good\, and the bad. And when the clouds started to lift\, Carlile was there to help usher in the sunshine.\nThe resulting songs of You Don’t Own Me Anymore are about life when everything you think defines you is stripped away. After all\, sometimes you have to lose everything to get a renewed version in return. Like the Tennessee River they sing about\, only after a drought does fresh\, new water come rushing in.\n\nAbout Jill Andrews\nA native of East Tennessee\, Jill Andrews kicked off her songwriting career as co-founder of the everybodyfields\, a band whose mix of Southern genres – folk\, country\, bluegrass – and male-female vocals helped pave the way for future groups like The Civil Wars. It earned the everybodyfields a wide fan-base too\, as well as appearances at Bonnaroo\, The Kennedy Center\, and a cross-country tour with The Avett Brothers.\nAfter three albums\, Andrews left that band and launched a solo career\, starting with a self-titled EP and a full-length record\, The Mirror\, that built something bigger a broader on top of her Americana roots. She followed The Mirrorwith the acclaimed The War Inside featuring a duet with Seth Avett.\nWhile working on The War Inside\, Andrews signed a publishing deal and began landing songs in multiple TV shows and movies\, including Grey’s Anatomy\, The Good Wife\, Nashville\, American Idol\, Hart of Dixie\, and Me\, Him\, Her (2015)\, among others\, including the theme song to SyFy’s Wynonna Earp. One of her songs\, “Joy Parade\,” also appeared on The Music of Nashville: Season 2\, Volume 2\, a TV soundtrack that rose to number 13 on the Billboard 200.\nSince releasing The War Inside\, Andrews has remained busy touring and writing\, opening shows for acts such as The Avett Brothers\, Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors\, Sean Watkins\, and Mandolin Orange\, as well as headlining her own shows throughout the country. Collaborations with friends like Langhorne Slim and Peter Groenwald have led to the digital release of a handful of duet singles.\nThese songs feel present\, and they’re delivered the way Andrews always delivers them: with raw emotion that is as real to her as it is to the listener.\n\nAbout Bill & The Belles\nWith striking three-part harmonies and masterful instrumentation\, Bill and the Belles skillfully breathe new life into the sounds of early country music. At the foothills of the Blue Ridge and the forefront of old-time music\, Bill and the Belles (Johnson City\, Tennessee) continue to further the music traditions of their region.\nFrom sentimental southern ballads to the popular songs of Tin Pan Alley to regional fiddle breakdowns\, a Bill and the Belles show is a celebration of the diversity country music once represented. Bill and the Belles continue to play alongside America’s top country and roots music artists as the resident band for the historic radio program Farm and Fun Time presented by Radio Bristol and the Birthplace of Country Music. Lifelong musicians Kris Truelsen\, Grace Van’t Hof\, Kalia Yeagle\, and Karl Zerfas bring to the stage an uplifting show unlike any other – full of humor\, high spirits\, and all-around revelry.\nIt’s clear this group shares a rare musical connection and deep love for the music\, and their excitement is contagious. Bill and the Belles are hitting the road with fervor\, eager to share their music with new audiences.

But there’s a mythical pull to music that kept sisters Laura and Lydia Rogers moving forward\, and they came out with a biting and beautiful third LP\, produced by Brandi Carlile\, You Don’t Own Me Anymore. Their first as New West signees\, it’s a document of hardship and redemption\, of pushing forward when it would be so much easier to drown in grief. And it’s a story about how passion and pure artistry can be the strongest sort of salvation – how art is left\, like perfect grains of sand\, when everything else has washed away.\nIt certainly would have been easier to just try and forget the past few years of The Secret Sisters’ life. After their second album\, Put Your Needle Down\, didn’t perform according to their label’s expectations – however unrealistic they were in this day and age – the duo was dropped\, leaving them with barely enough money to stay on the road and keep making music. So they retreated home to Alabama\, worn and weary from experiencing the devilish side of the industry first-hand\, scraping together whatever they could while trying to embrace what seemed to be a future without music. But when Carlile – someone whom The Secret Sisters have admired for years and one of our truest talents – offered to produce their record\, it made them think that a future was possible. Soon\, a PledgeMusic campaign that completely exceeded their hopes and dreams made it fiscally so.\nIn the beginning\, before that darkness moved in\, things were a little like rainbows and roses for the sisters\, who rose quickly through the music universe. An open audition in Nashville in 2009 lead them to a major label deal and a debut record produced by T Bone Burnett and Dave Cobb\, followed by a tour with Levon Helm and Ray LaMontagne\, a feat for any artist\, let alone two that had just gotten started.  From there\, they opened for the likes of Dylan\, Willie Nelson and Paul Simon\, appeared on numerous late night shows and released a second album with Burnett. But the tides turned quickly – things can change in an instant\, both for the good\, and the bad. And when the clouds started to lift\, Carlile was there to help usher in the sunshine.\nThe resulting songs of You Don’t Own Me Anymore are about life when everything you think defines you is stripped away. After all\, sometimes you have to lose everything to get a renewed version in return. Like the Tennessee River they sing about\, only after a drought does fresh\, new water come rushing in.\n\nAbout Jill Andrews\nA native of East Tennessee\, Jill Andrews kicked off her songwriting career as co-founder of the everybodyfields\, a band whose mix of Southern genres – folk\, country\, bluegrass – and male-female vocals helped pave the way for future groups like The Civil Wars. It earned the everybodyfields a wide fan-base too\, as well as appearances at Bonnaroo\, The Kennedy Center\, and a cross-country tour with The Avett Brothers.\nAfter three albums\, Andrews left that band and launched a solo career\, starting with a self-titled EP and a full-length record\, The Mirror\, that built something bigger a broader on top of her Americana roots. She followed The Mirrorwith the acclaimed The War Inside featuring a duet with Seth Avett.\nWhile working on The War Inside\, Andrews signed a publishing deal and began landing songs in multiple TV shows and movies\, including Grey’s Anatomy\, The Good Wife\, Nashville\, American Idol\, Hart of Dixie\, and Me\, Him\, Her (2015)\, among others\, including the theme song to SyFy’s Wynonna Earp. One of her songs\, “Joy Parade\,” also appeared on The Music of Nashville: Season 2\, Volume 2\, a TV soundtrack that rose to number 13 on the Billboard 200.\nSince releasing The War Inside\, Andrews has remained busy touring and writing\, opening shows for acts such as The Avett Brothers\, Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors\, Sean Watkins\, and Mandolin Orange\, as well as headlining her own shows throughout the country. Collaborations with friends like Langhorne Slim and Peter Groenwald have led to the digital release of a handful of duet singles.\nThese songs feel present\, and they’re delivered the way Andrews always delivers them: with raw emotion that is as real to her as it is to the listener.\n\nAbout Bill & The Belles\nWith striking three-part harmonies and masterful instrumentation\, Bill and the Belles skillfully breathe new life into the sounds of early country music. At the foothills of the Blue Ridge and the forefront of old-time music\, Bill and the Belles (Johnson City\, Tennessee) continue to further the music traditions of their region.\nFrom sentimental southern ballads to the popular songs of Tin Pan Alley to regional fiddle breakdowns\, a Bill and the Belles show is a celebration of the diversity country music once represented. Bill and the Belles continue to play alongside America’s top country and roots music artists as the resident band for the historic radio program Farm and Fun Time presented by Radio Bristol and the Birthplace of Country Music. Lifelong musicians Kris Truelsen\, Grace Van’t Hof\, Kalia Yeagle\, and Karl Zerfas bring to the stage an uplifting show unlike any other – full of humor\, high spirits\, and all-around revelry.\nIt’s clear this group shares a rare musical connection and deep love for the music\, and their excitement is contagious. Bill and the Belles are hitting the road with fervor\, eager to share their music with new audiences.\n

SUMMARY:Laura Story Christmas
DESCRIPTION:It’s one thing to write compelling\, heart-stirring\, emotionally rich songs of worship\, praise and honor to Christ. It’s another thing entirely to bare your soul\, share your vulnerabilities and risk criticism and career success by challenging the mold and daring to say that God is not necessarily a God of happy endings. Instead\, He is the God of every story. This is what Laura Story is learning day by day.\nThe intersection of a new opportunity and a tragedy is also what originally spawned Laura Story’s runaway hit “Blessings\,” that took home a Grammy®\, a Billboard Music Award and three Dove Awards. Laura’s new album God of Every Story is more than just another album or great selection of songs. It’s more than eloquent words to an infinite\, omnipotent\, omnipresent God. It’s more than another happy ending and more than just another story. It’s every story.\nJoin Grammy® Award-winning artist Laura Story this Christmas season as she performs beloved holiday classics along with brand new original Christmas songs sure to become favorites for your holiday season!

SUMMARY:East Tennessee PBS Presents Ethan Bortnick
DESCRIPTION:ETHAN BORTNICK\n\n\nWEBSITE\nFACEBOOK\nTWITTER\nINSTAGRAM\n\n\n\nWATCH\n\n\nRecognized by the Guinness World Records as “The World’s Youngest Solo Musician to Head-line His Own Concert Tour\,” 15-year-old Ethan Bortnick has been performing around the world\, raising over $40\,000\,000 for charities across the globe.\nWhen he was just three years old\, the Hollywood\, Florida native asked his parents for piano lessons and discovered an uncanny ability to hear a song once and play it back note for note – the musical equivalent of a photographic memory. He soaked up the music of such diverse artists and composers as Beethoven\, Mozart\, jazz pianist Bill Evans\, Little Richard\, Billy Joel and Elton John\, and began creating original compositions at age five. A few years later\, Ethan began making television appearances and touring\, connecting with audiences in countries such as Japan\, Brazil\, Canada\, South Africa and Australia.\nEthan has not only moved audiences throughout the world as a captivating musician\, but he is also a driven humanitarian\, dedicated to combining his musical pursuits with his charity work. When Ethan was five\, his younger brother had three heart surgeries and that emotional time inspired him to use his musical talents to benefit charity.\nI remember going to the Children’s Hospital and seeing a lot of sick children. I learned that some of these kids could not afford surgery so the hospital raised money for them. It made me want to help these kids\,” Ethan explained.\nSince then\, Ethan has helped raise over $30\,000\,000 for nonprofits around the world. At these charity events\, he’s shared the stage with artists such as Elton John\, Andrea Bocelli\, Beyoncé\, Josh Groban and Reba McEntire\, among many others. In 2010\, he joined some of music’s big-gest names – including Barbra Streisand\, Tony Bennett\, Celine Dion\, Carlos Santana\, etc..\, as the youngest of the all-star lineup that recorded We Are The World 25 For Haiti.\nHis highly successful nationally televised TV show\, The Power of Music\, has been the number one concert pledge show on Public Television for 2014/2015 pledge drives\, and is still running nationwide continuously\, winning multiple awards. Ethan recently graced Esquire magazine’s 80th anniversary cover\, was featured in Gap’s global celebrity ad campaign\, and continues to share the stage with music legends.\nEthan has also been featured on countless national television shows\, including multiple appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno\, Good Morning America and Oprah\, where he was named one of Oprah’s All Time Smartest\, Most Talented Kids.\nEthan completed shooting a full-length feature film called Anything Is Possible which was released in September 2013 to rave reviews. He starred in the film\, co-wrote all of the songs in the film and scored all the background music.\nBilly Joel’s Musical Director\, Dave Rosenthal\, renowned globally for his work with Billy for over twenty years is also Ethan’s Musical Director.\nEthan has performed at venues around the globe\, charity functions\, performing arts centers\, large arenas with over 70\,000 people and for Ethan\, the most fulfilling aspect of success is bringing people joy. “When I perform at someone’s home or in a huge arena\, I just love every moment of it! When I see the audience enjoying the music\, having fun\, smiling and dancing\, there’s just nothing better that that!” he says.\n\n\nVenue Information:\nParamount Bristol\n518 State Street\nBristol\, TN\, 37620\nhttps://www.paramountbristol.org/
