Rimes also performed the song that started it all, “Blue” in a way that shows the maturity of her vocal and music creativity and stylings. Full of emotion Rimes also performed “How Do I Live,” “He Stopped Loving Her Today, “Probably Wouldn’t Be This Way,” and closed with the semi-biographical “What I Cannot Change.” Performing the famed Elton John classic “Rocket Man” as her one and only encore, fans still could not get enough of

Armstrong and his All Stars quickly began their first song, “Sleepy Time Down South,” before formally introducing themselves. This song allowed the audience to prepare for the concert as the tempo was consistently adagio. The song also gave each instrument in the chamber orchestra the opportunity to each warm up with a song that was completely dolce and legato in fashion.

By the time I arrived at the Ardmore auditorium, Colin had already begun his first song. From what I could gather the song was about his life and his history. He mentioned living in Louisiana and then later coming to North Carolina to attend the school of the arts. Before he started into his second song he gave a brief explanation of what it was about, saying that it was written about being in abusive relationships. This was the one song I had listened to previous thanks to his YouTube page and was my personal favorite of the songs he played. He continued on with two more songs, now with the addition of a loop pedal, before bringing out an African harp instrument. I couldn’t tell if the song he was playing with the harp was something he had written or if it was improvisation. The lack of words mixed with the repetition in the song created a trance-like, almost hypnotic, atmosphere. Once Colin put away the harp he returned to his guitar for another couple songs before time ran out.

The concert night began with almost 20 minutes of performances by The Jazz Band that performed five songs: “Choo Choo Ch” (Horton et al., 1946),“Dreamsville” (Mancini, 1960), “Work Song” (Adderley,

The event lasted two hours beginning at 7:00 pm. All students were invited, but only a handful of students showed up, all of them somehow involved in theater.

Minnelli’s set list included a number of standards such as Liza with a Z, New York, New York, and Cabaret, all the while fans in the audience loudly professing their admiration of the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award-winning performer, with random shouts of “We love you,” and “You’re the best,” according to a report in GulfLive.

Last night, I treated myself to an outstanding performance by Devan Jones and The Uptown Stomp. The band’s primary sound is Swinging Blues, Ragtime & Jazz from the 1930s through the 1950s. I was amazed that not only was the music vintage, their equipment was also. The band is comprised of young, group of musicians from in and around Knoxville, TN. The members consisted of bassist Clint Mullican, drummer Hunter Deacon and tenor / baritone saxophonist Chuck Mullican, pianist Keith Brown and Devan Jones on guitar and vocals. The band played several different songs that I was familiar with even though I will admit, this was my first ever swing music concert. However, some of the new songs that I had never heard before came were produced by artists

Name of the first song was “Be my love”. They started a song with very bright

many people, they finally settled on Pete Best on drums. They recruited Stuart Sutcliffe on bass, and

The second vocal ensemble of the night started out with a song which included a twelve bar blues, called “ I use to know you”. This performance consisted of the most combinations of solos of the night as well as using an improvising style. The entire band started all together which led to a Trumpet solo. Then Jose on the Sax did his solo followed by the pianist comping. Then the choir along with the band joined together to lead to a female solo which was particularly interesting since she was scatting. The second performance of this ensemble was “Spring can really hang you up the most” which consisted of 3/4 time and 4/4 time. This started with a female solo vocalist then a male one. The band as a whole played together and ended with a male solo scatting. The third and shortest performance of the night was a vocal acapella piece, “Love walked in” which was short and sweet. The fourth performance of the night was a Richmond Rogers piece. This had a rhythmic swing/salsa feel from the “Lady is a tramp”. This started with the rhythm section, with the male vocalist and horns. Then the female vocalist from the choir joined and concluded this piece. The fifth performance for the group was a sequel to voice stand an acapella piece by Greg Jaspers. This song started with the choir using their voices as the instruments altogether. The final performance of the night was one of
