Saturday, January 10, 2009 7:30pm
Leroy Van Dyke, of "Auctioneer" and "Walk On By" fame, star of the
movie, "What Am I Bid?" is known around the world as an entertainer,
recording artist, radio and television star, actor, auctioneer and
veteran of the Nevada circuit. He has recorded over 500 songs. Van
Dyke is considered by industry moguls and by his peers to be the
entertainer who put professionalism in country music.
Blessed with a golden voice and a true dedication to his music and
career, Rex Allen Jr. is the consummate actor, singer, songwriter
and entertainer. He proves this at every concert and on every
television show. This is why he continually gets invited back for
repeat performances both on tour and as a regular on television.
Often called “the greatest tenor voice in Country Music”, Jimmy
Fortune sang for the Statler Brothers for 21 years. With this new
avenue of musical expression, Jimmy began writing songs and several
were recorded with the Statler Brothers. Jimmy was privileged to
perform at the White House on two occasions, once for President
Ronald Reagan, and once for President George Bush. He also presented
a special gift to actress Elizabeth Taylor by singing his song,
“Elizabeth” to her for a birthday celebration. Jimmy released his
fourth CD in 2007 and currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee.
Continuing a Legacy:
Jason Floyd & Meagan Taylor
Pianist and Grandson of Floyd Cramer
Guitarist and Great-Niece of Chet Atkins
Saturday, February 7, 2009 7:30pm
Jason, 22, has played piano since he was old enough to reach the
keys. Meagan, 25, tinkered with several instruments off and on as a
child, but only started singing and playing guitar in the fall of
1999. (You can read their individual stories at their own websites,
JasonColemanMusic.com and
MeaganTaylor.com.)
Though Meagan and Jason each grew up with a love for music, their
paths have only recently crossed...
In the fall of 2003, Meagan’s mother discovered that a friend was
planning a party at which Floyd Cramer’s grandson, Jason, would be
playing piano. Taking note of the unique connection between the two
families, Meagan’s mother intended to talk to her daughter about
getting in touch with Jason. After Jason heard about the chance
meeting, he sent Meagan a note with a CD of a church Christmas
concert featuring him at the piano.
Upon receiving the CD, Meagan was very reluctant to contact Jason.
"Honestly, I was intimidated by his playing and decided he had been
playing far longer and was much further advanced," Meagan admits.
After much prodding by her mother, she eventually called him and
invited him to hear her perform at a local show, and later asked him
to play with her at the annual Chet Atkins Appreciation Society
convention in the summer of 2004.
So, they worked up some songs that were produced and/or played by
Meagan’s great-uncle and performed at the convention. Later that
year, Jason played for Meagan's wedding; then they collaborated
again for CAAS 2005 and 2006. "Our styles of playing meshed really
well from the beginning," Jason says. "It has always been a very
natural connection. Plus, our parents have told us it's like they're
stepping into a time machine when they hear us play."
The more Meagan and Jason played together, the more they entertained
the idea of recording an album together. With the support and
encouragement of their families, in late 2006, Meagan and Jason felt
that the time had arrived, and they started working on the Revival
project.
