Summerfest Research Paper

Country Music’s Rich Kienzle felt the album took Diffie “further into that idiom where he shows the gutsiness that many younger singers never quite catch. It’s New Traditionalism without compromise, but music that fans of certain more modern-sounding singers can enjoy as well.” Attitude sported up-tempo numbers worthy of lively line dances, “a modern take on hillbilly boogie of the 1940s and 50s,” and “sensitive, evocative and totally believable” ballads and “story songs.” Kienzle praised Diffie’s wit and sharp imagery throughout his critique and concluded, “Diffie’s found a focus and a strength here .... and if this is the direction he chooses to go in the future, it’s easy to anticipate more albums as good as this

“Inside Your Heaven” was one of the top selling songs of the year, however; the country music industry shunned it because “it was to pop” (La Bella 33). Even though Carrie started out her career by being shunned, she was determined to win a lot more

In order to talk about the Freedom Summer project, we first have to identify it’s roots and the history behind it. Before the Freedom Summer project, there was the civil right movement in which thousands of African Americans protested for equality. Equality didn’t mean the term referred in the court case Plessy vs Ferguson “separate but equal.” African Americans wanted to end the era of segregation, this include not having to use lower quality public facilities than whites, not having to give their seats in a bus if a white person wanted to sit there, and the right to vote. With the help of different civil right activist such as Bayard Rustin, Jo Ann Robinson, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and all the people that marched and protested against

Finally the last performer and in my opinion the best of the night, Ms. Marsha Ambrosius. Marsha Ambrosuis is an R&B singer. According to freedictionary.com R&B is defined as “a style of music developed by African Americans that combines blues and jazz, characterized by a strong backbeat and repeated variations on syncopated instrumental phrases.” As she sang Marsha gave a story as to the songs she performed and related it back to the album’s title whether the song related to lovers or friends and if she though that two people could be lovers and friends. There was no question as to what the song implied or was about during the performance

Guitars were strumming. Vendors were yelling. Voices were singing. You probably do not know what those three things have in common. You may have a rough idea, but not anything about where it was, or what happened there. Here is what I think about when given these three ideas: a Luke Bryan concert at Wrigley Field. Many people groan at the thought of country music, however many others, along with artists, love the sound of country music. As Maren Morris beautifully serenades in her hit,"My Church", "I find my soul revival, singing every single verse. Yeah, I guess that 's my church." This song is about how listening and singing country music relaxes her and makes her forget about all of her problems. I feel the exact same way, though I had

Tyler Farr's song Redneck Crazy started to play and i screamed my head off.At the time Redneck Crazy was my favorite song by Tyler Farr. After a couple songs he looked at the crowd with a big grin on his face he then explained “ So I have a new song and I like ya’ll so much that I think i’m going to sing it for ya’ll.Nobody has ever heard it but ya’ll. So don’t judge me if it’s not very good.” He sang the song and it was amazing.The lights turned on and he walked off the stage.

It wasn’t just parents in the room this evening. It wasn’t because it was Rufus's birthday. It's a packed house to see members of the Stax music academy rhythm band. A music program of the Soulsville that launched the revitalization of the neighbourhood, the museum and re-invigorated interests in the label's legacy. As 12-year-old Lakeisha hits the stage to sing the opening bars to Carla Thomas's first hit, Gee Whiz Everyone hushes. It's a hard song that requires the 12-year-old to his the right note. She hit the note to perfection and as she brings the band in, and the crowd goes nuts. These middle schoolers own the room with a confidence that takes a lifetime to cultivate. They demonstrate the respectful guardianship of the music, unlike any other. It's hard not to get emotional. Deanie Parker once described Stax Records to be a utopic vision in the middle of the segregated south.

Twang! Tee-Hee! That’s a pretty good explanation of my time at my concert. The winter of 2014, I went to a Dailey & Vincent Concert. It was a Christmas concert, and it was joyous. Dailey & Vincent are a Christian Bluegrass band that are probably the funniest people in the Bluegrass community. They are hilarious!

These concert goers enjoyed no rules, drug use, sex, and loud rock music. Some of the best known artists from this concert were; Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Who, The Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones, Sly & the Family Stone, and Jefferson Airplane.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have a place with an uncommon class of singers, a class involved those few demonstrations that have supported decades-long professions in spite of the fretfulness of famous music's gathering of people. The Heartbreakers' visits are among the best in the business, after quite a long time. Together for somewhere in the range of three or more decades, they have recorded significant successes in each one of those decades. Be that as it may, even all things considered achievements have earned Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers a spot close by the goliaths of rock and roll, the band stays an oddity among their associates. The band's individuals have kept themselves profoundly

Sunday night November 20, 2016. This is the night the American Music Awards (AMA’s) opened in 2016. The American Music Awards is a huge event in the music industry. This event is sometimes compared to the Grammys. As we all know, the opening and closing acts are the most important because you have to start the show off right to get everyone in that good and exciting mood, then it is also important to end the show with that special performance to remember until next year's event comes. At the 2016 American Music Awards, Bruno Mars stole the show with this amazing opening of to the show. He performed with his so called “comeback song” known as 24k Magic. This song is the first single to his brand new album 24k Magic.

As a resident of DeSoto, Texas, you know that finding something to do in a city of fewer than 50,000 people can be a challenge during the summer months. However, now that the summer is upon us and the weather is great, there are no excuses for remaining in your apartments in DeSoto. In fact, the warm weather and the drive to increase a sense of community fuels a lot of events in and around town, including the following three events.

At the midnight sun stage, the final concert of the festival was about to start. Many people arrived early so they could get a better view of Willie Nelson. Willie opened his set with "Whiskey River," a song he first performed in the early seventies! He also played other hits like "Always on My Mind" and "On the Road Again." Fans were surprised that Willie played guitar and sang so well at the age of eighty two.

Rihanna performed in the Talking Stick Resort Arena while in Phoenix, Arizona. Not only did she sing a wide variety of older songs, she also included many newer songs from her album “Anti”. During the concert, there was hardly any uneventful moments. Throughout the concert Rihanna did a very good job of keeping everything moving very quickly. The concert seemed to be more of a show than just a simple concert. Rihanna included many props throughout her songs including a huge box that was put in the middle of the stage for her song “Birthday Cake”. To keep things even more interesting during her entire show, she had a variety of dancers that were often either dressed up in a costume or somehow incorporated
