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! We’ll see you soon!\n
