SUMMARY:Chase & Ovation: The Paramount Prince Experience
DESCRIPTION:In Chase’s own words: \n“In the decade before his passing\, Prince allowed me to travel the world with this phenomenally talented group of musicians and perform in Tribute and in Reverence to his music. In particular\, over the past 14 years\, Chase & Ovation has been allowed and extremely blessed to perform a monthly concert at Prince’s favorite hometown/local live music venue (‘Bunkers Music Bar’) located in our hometown and in the heart of the North Loop of the Purple City of Minneapolis. We have always done so with Prince’s knowledge under the name ‘Chase & Ovation\,’ and are frequently joined on stage with many of Prince’s former band mates. I wake up filled with gratitude every day and give thanks in prayer for the gift of music that Prince has given to me… but MORE importantly the many gifts that he gave the world!” \nLet us always remember to Celebrate the Love… the Life… And The Music of PRINCE!\n~Tommy Chase~ \nHundreds of FREE parking spots and great restaurants lining Main Street and surrounding area!

SUMMARY:Willy Porter Camp Hometown Heroes Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Willy Porter – A Camp Hometown Heroes Fundraiser\nwith special guest Phil Norby\nSponsored by Forte Bank \nWilly Porter continues on a musical and personal odyssey spanning over two decades\, 13 albums\, and multiple continents. His journey has been defined by an inquisitive love for humanity and the language that describes what we all hold to be true. Porter’s songs weave a universal perspective about the questions\, struggles\, and triumphs of human existence. His live shows are guitar-driven grit\, soul\, silence and muscle– at times electrifying\, dynamic\, and unique in the way that Porter’s voice blends and fuses with his fret work. \nPorter’s breakthrough album\, Dog Eared Dream\, was released in 1994\, and the song “Angry Words” quickly became a staple at the burgeoning AAA radio format. This led to a major label deal with BMG/Private Music in 1995. Unfortunately\, Private was dismantled by BMG just as Porter was preparing to release his follow-up. With contractual freedom in 1998\, Porter quickly signed with the San Francisco-based label Six Degrees. There he released three albums beginning with the studio gem\, Falling Forward (1999)\, produced by multiple Grammy-winner Neil Dorfsman (Dire Straits\, Sting). The eponymous Willy Porter (2001) followed featuring great guest performances by Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull and Tony Levin. His fan-favorite solo disc\, High Wire Live (2003) was co-produced with Grammy-winner Ben Wisch (Marc Cohn\, Shawn Colvin). \nIn addition to making a life in music\, Porter finds ways to make an impact on local and international levels. He is an active supporter of Advocates of Ozaukee\, a shelter and treatment facility for victims of domestic violence and abuse in Mequon\, Wisconsin. His annual benefit concerts have raised more than $100\,000 for this organization to date. He is also an Ambassador for Guitars for Vets\, a Milwaukee-based International organization that works to improve the lives of veterans by providing them with guitars and music lessons. \nHundreds of FREE parking spots and great restaurants lining Main Street and surrounding area!

The cards are collected and two minutes before the show begins\, a set list is created based upon the songs chosen by that particular audience. As an added treat\, the reasons that the audience members chose those songs make up the narrative of the evening. Every show is different\, every show is interactive\, and every show proves that The Beatles music truly is the soundtrack to our lives. \nTHE MCGUIGAN BROTHERS TRIBUTE TO THEIR DAD  \nStars of Yesterday and Today\, Billy and Matthew McGuigan\, originally from Largo\, FL\, were just 21 and 15 years old in 1996 when their father\, William McGuigan\, passed away\, after a difficult\, but courageous battles with Leukemia. \nBill owned every Beatles album there was…even the obscure ones. However\, as a family\, the McGuigans were quite poor. So\, rather than going out to entertain the young ones\, Bill stayed home with them and shared his love of the Beatles catalogue with his boys. Little did any of them know\, it would turn out to be one of the greatest gifts a father could pass on to his children. \nNow\, almost fifteen years after the passing of their father\, Billy and Matthew\, have united their musical talents\, charms and passion for performing to create the ultimate living tribute to the greatest man they’ve ever known. They now tour the country with the show\, “Yesterday & Today”\, which is a unique audience interactive concert experience\, born out of the idea that everyone\, like themselves\, has a story or particular memory attached to the legendary music of The Beatles. \nWhat the McGuigan boys have overwhelmingly found\, since debuting the show in 2007\, is that not only do people have a story to tell\, but they are absolutely ready and willing to tell that story when being able to tie it to their favorite Beatles song. On some level\, it goes beyond sheer entertainment\, and perhaps becomes a hint of music therapy. \nEvery night the songs change\, the faces change and the stories change. But one element always remains the same between the McGuigans and their fans. A mutual respect for why they are there. Whether it’s for the sheer love of the music\, or to have a personal connection with it\, either way\, the McGuigan boys get to do what they love most – honoring the memory of their greatest hero\, and the priceless gift he gave them so many years ago. \nDoors\, bar & concessions open at 6:30pm\, show begins at approximately 7:30pm \nHundreds of FREE parking spots and great restaurants lining Main Street and surrounding area! We’ll see you soon!\n
