Buffalo NY Best of WNY Band, Music and Entertainment Event News

The Niagara Vocal Ensemble now in its 16th season has established a solid reputation not only for the quality of its performances, but also for the ingenuity and imagination with which its programs are selected and constructed. The partnership of word and music is highlighted in a Poet's Choral Corner, held at St. George's Anglican Church in St. Catharines on Sunday, May 6, 2007 at 3:00 p.m.

Under the direction of founding conductor, Dr. Harris Loewen, the thirteen female voices of the Niagara Vocal Ensemble, accompanied by Lesley Kingham, with commentary by poet Terrance Cox, present settings of lyrical poetry in English by the great poets, from Shakespeare to e. e. cummings.

Through the centuries, many connections have been made between text and music. A Poet's Choral Corner blends music and poetry into a magnificently rich and colourfully varied portrait, as musical lines move with vibrancy and warmth throughout the afternoon performance.

In a program ranging from nostalgic to rapturous to witty, the mix of a cappella and accompanied works, incorporate poetic texts from the 15th to 20th century, with musical settings spanning the 20th century. Texts emphasizing the British poets William Blake, Robert Browning, Alfred Tennyson, Shakespeare, and others, are framed by musical settings by American and Canadian composers.

Canadian contributions include a musical setting of John McCrae's "In Flander's Fields," and music by composers Eleanor Daley, Ruth Watson Henderson, Healey Willan. Work by Niagara-based composers Ronald Tremain (1923-98), and John Butler will also be showcased.

Join Poet's Choral Corner for a splendid concert, at St. George's Anglican Church on Sunday, May 6, 2007 at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $15, and are available at the Centre for the Arts Box Office, 905-688-5550, ext. 3257, or at the door.

John Nemeth, who's fast become one of the most-talked about newcomers on the scene, will be bringing his riveting show (featuring Junior Watson on guitar) to Buffalo as follows:

Tuesday May 1st 2007
TUDOR LOUNGE - 335 FRANKLIN STREET - 716-855-9643
Show @ 9:00 PM - TICKETS: $5.00

John's magnificent, emotive voice and stellar harmonica playing mark him as a virtuoso of rare depth and power. His uncanny blend of retro-modern blues and soul music will delight purists and young hipsters alike.

Blues Revue magazine said Nemeth "conjures, impossibly, the spirits of Nat King Cole, Wilson Pickett, and Magic Sam, alternating between cocktail-combo jazz and balls-out Stax soul while exuding an air of authenticity beyond his life experience."

The buzz about Nemeth has been continual and growing. Bob Margolin, a well-known blues guitarist (and alumnus of the Muddy Waters Band) has been quoted as saying, " I remember telling friends up North in '80 that they should go see Stevie Ray Vaughan, but they weren't impressed because he wasn't famous yet. It will give me great pleasure to say, 'I told you so!' about John Németh. You'll see."

Nemeth delivers the goods on stage as well. His riveting intensity has allowed him to open for Robert Cray and Keb Mo and fill in for the ailing Sammy Myers last year on the Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets tour. After witnessing a show, Bob Horn of the Washington Blues Society said, "Either John Nemeth is one of the greatest vocalists in the world or this was the best performance of his life, or both." And T-Bone Erickson of Blueswax said, "Definitely one of the best club shows that I've ever seen."

Critics got hip to this latest sensation with the January release of his national debut CD, Magic Touch, on Blind Pig Records. Blues Revue called the album "one of the most exciting blues debuts of the past year." Good Times Magazine said it was "a revelation - it swings, it rocks, and it grooves, and it's easily the best release of 2007 so far...this disc is a primer on how to make a simply perfect blues album."

And has a second CD Release party at the Wilson House, Wilson, NY

On April 21, 2007, regional singer and songwriter, Sheila Stratton-Peel (formally of Iad Fein) announces her debut CD titled Celtic Lady of the Lake at Gene McCarthy's Irish Pub in Buffalo's Old First Ward Neighborhood. This event begins at 7:00 PM and is expected to last several hours, as Sheila and Lochside Celtic Duo play their favorites at McCarthy's Irish Pub, which will include "Caledonia","How Will I Ever be Simple Again", and the classic "Ride On".

There will be a second CD release party at the Wilson House, 300 Lake Street, Wilson, NY on April 28, 2007. This event will start at 4:30 PM until 8:30 PM. Sheila will be accompanied by the group Lochside Celtic Duo, who were instrumental in recording and producing the CD at both of the CD release parties.

"I feel that my involvement in these CD releases is a culmination of my love and affection for the greater Irish Community, and my own Celtic roots here in Western New York," said Sheila Stratton-Peel. "It becomes obvious when sitting with her, that her dedication to the history of the Irish/Celtic people is accomplished through song. Her voice often reflects her high strong emotional traditional interpretations of classic folklore", states Gerhardt Yaskow who interviewed Sheila for this release. "I can't think of a better venue, than the Old First Ward of Buffalo and its historic Irish roots, to debut my life's work," said Sheila Stratton-Peel. There is a deep commitment to the Celtic community in both Erie and Niagara Counties as well as Fort Erie Ontario whereas Sheila is involved with many festivals and organizations that promote the heritage of the Celtic people.

During this release, Sheila has invited others regional performers and fans to hear her sing many of her solo hits and traditional renditions. The Wildes, Step-in-Time, Billy LaRauch, and Sloontynx, plan to accompany her at her ceremony. Regarding Sheila's past artistic background, her local artist friend, Mary McAndrew from Clarence Center, with strengths in interpretive mythological art, has designed the CD's cover jacket. Ms. McAndrew will be on hand for the celebration with some of her newest works. You can view her webpage at http://www.marymcandrew.com/ <http://www.marymcandrew.com/>.

Within the jacket one appreciates Sheila's gratitude towards Tom Keefer, Norm Bock, fellow band members, and long time local performers and friends, including Gerhardt Yaskow, owner of historic McCarthy's Irish Pub. "Having been born and raised near Keuka Lake, in Upstate New York, I have always considered myself to be a "lady of the lake", with that being said, I am of Irish, Scottish, Welch, and Cornish heritage," said Sheila Stratton-Peel. See her sites http://www.sheilastrattonpeel.commailto:Heritageseeker@adelphia.net> and http://www.celticmoonproductions.com/ <http://www.celticmoonproductions.com/> for dates and time of future performances.

After 40 years of successful various life experiences in the music business, which began in Central New York's Finger Lakes Region, later into Southern Ontario (Canada), and now, currently, in both Erie and Niagara Counties, Sheila has been awarded many accolades including: Best Female Voice in Folk for June 2005, an Adelphia Cable performance for the Niagara County Celtic Heritage Society Festival promotion in September 2006, extensive global reviews from http://www.folkmagazin.de/ to local reviewers such as Kate Olena, applauding her current and past professional achievements in our folk music arena.

Queen City FC will officially begin preparation for its inaugural season with the start of its preseason training camp on Saturday, April 14. Queen City FC will hold its first training session at 10:00 AM on Saturday, April 14 at LaSalle Park in Buffalo, NY. The team will also train at the same time and location on Sunday, April 15.

The team will be involved in a number of public relations events around the Buffalo area throughout April. The preseason training camp week continues through Sunday, April 22nd in preparation for the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup first round match up against the New Hampshire Phantoms in Manchester, NH, April 29th.

“We are so excited to finally get to our training camp,” said Christopher Keem, Queen City FC Executive Director and General Manager. “We have been planning this since October of 2005, and now we are finally ready to hit the field. Although we aren't at our normal facility until May, we are delighted we can use LaSalle Park in the interim."

The pre-season roster for the inaugural season has been selected. Throughout the tryout process, Queen City FC had 142 players come out for the Blue's. Team executives are hoping to finalize the roster after this weekend. The Blue's will have a reserve side that will play matches vs. Local Men's teams. Any local teams that wish to line up scrimmages vs. the Blue's second team please contact Christopher Keem, 716-310.6326 or ckeem@queencityfc.com.

The majority of the players that will be involved in the preseason training camp are local players, as players are coming in from all around the country and due to NCAA regulations are not able to participate in this weekend’s camp. The team will not be together in its entirety until May 1st.

Christopher Keem noted, “We expect to have about half of our team involved in our preseason training camp this weekend and next weekend in preparation for the US Open Cup. The team will receive a tremendous boost when our players off at college arrive in early May.”

March 30, 2007, Genesee Community College, Batavia, NY – The Forum Players at Genesee Community College, the college’s student-based acting group, will be concluding their 2006-2007 season with the hilarious comedy MOON OVER BUFFALO by Ken Ludwig. Premiering Thursday, April 19, 2007 at 7:30PM at the Stuart Steiner Theatre, subsequent performances are scheduled for Friday, April 20 at 7:30PM, Saturday, April 21 at 7:30PM, and Sunday, April 22 at 2:00PM.

Written by Ken Ludwig, MOON OVER BUFFALO is a slapstick comedy about a 1953 traveling repertory company of actors, led by the husband and wife team of George and Charlotte Hay, as they make one desperate, last-gasp attempt at stardom…in Buffalo, NY. When famed director-god Frank Capra decides to come see George and Charlotte for his next big movie, they must play their cards, and their roles, to perfection, if they want to get the big break they’ve been waiting for. Nothing, however, goes according to script in this hysterically funny, door-slamming farce when the Hays must deal with their returning daughter, her ex-boyfriend, an almost-deaf costume mistress, a local weatherman, a forgetful actress and a lovelorn lawyer.

With cast members that include Genesee students, faculty and members of the local community, MOON OVER BUFFALO stars Norm Gayford and Lucine Kauffman as George and Charlotte Hay, respectively. Rounding out the company of players are Rachel Buckenmeyer, Jessica Hishman, Robert Reiss, Ruth Strzelewicz, Gavin Eastlack and Michael David Porter. Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., MOON OVER BUFFALO is being directed by Maryanne Arena, Fine & Performing Arts Director at the Genesee Center for the Arts. Scenic Design is by Kym Dick and Lighting Design by Yusuke Nemoto, with Vincent Elliott serving as Sound Designer and Technical Director on the production.

General admission ticket prices are $6.00 for adults, $3.00 for students, senior citizens and GCC faculty, and $2.00 for GCC students with a valid ID.

Reservations may be made by calling the Genesee Center for the Arts Box Office at (585) 343-0055 x6814, by fax to (585) 345-6815, or by email to BoxOffice@genesee.edu. The Genesee Center for the Arts Box Office accepts cash and checks only, credit cards are not accepted.

Buffalo, N.Y. (April 10, 2007) — Kingdom Bound Ministries has held an annual Christian music festival at Darien Lake Theme Park Resort, halfway between Buffalo and Rochester, New York, for more than two decades. Now in its 21st year with 65,000 people in attendance over the course of four days, Kingdom Bound 2007 will bring together some of today’s most popular Christian pop, rock, and modern worship artists, including Casting Crowns, TobyMac, Newsboys, Chris Tomlin, and David Crowder, among many others, for this summer’s festival, to be held August 5-8, 2007, at Darien Lake Theme Park Resort in Darien Center, New York.

In previous years, Kingdom Bound hosted live talent search competitions in select cities in the U.S. and Canada to win a slot to play at the festival and other prizes. This year, however, the talent search is exclusively online, through a partnership with Artist Ovation. Aspiring Christian/Gospel singers and bands should visit www.kingdombound.org and click on the Artist Ovation graphic to find out details about entering this year’s talent search.

“Kingdom Bound is keeping up with the times. For less than $200, a singer or band can have one of their original songs posted online for music fans to listen to and rate,” says Mark Weber, of www.ChristianMusicDaily.com. “The sooner someone submits their music, the more weeks of exposure they’ll get online. The highest rated artist gets to play the Kingdom Bound festival this summer, and be entered into another competition with the chance to win an artist development agreement with Word Label Group.”

Kingdom Bound, one of North America’s largest and longest running events of its kind, is excited about its partnership with Artist Ovation, to find new Christian talent. Already, artists from New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Ontario, Canada, have entered the competition, with more entries expected in the weeks to come.

Kingdom Bound 2007 will be a diverse music festival, featuring praise and worship, hip-hop, blues, big band, pop, rock and other styles of music. Event or day pass tickets, along with campsite/RV/hotel packages, are currently available. For tickets and accommodation information, call 800-461-4485, and to see a current list of the more than 50 bands, singers, and speakers who will be offering concerts or seminars at Kingdom Bound 2007, visit www.kingdombound.org.
