  • Rca Records to Release American Idol: Greatest Moments on October 1
    THE RCA RECORDS LABEL ___________________________________________ RCA RECORDS TO RELEASE AMERICAN IDOL: GREATEST MOMENTS ON OCTOBER 1 On the heels of crowning Kelly Clarkson as America's newest pop superstar, RCA Records is proud to announce the release of American Idol: Greatest Moments on Oct. 1. The first full-length album of material from Fox's smash summer television hit, "American Idol," will include four songs by Clarkson, two by runner-up Justin Guarini, a song each by the remaining eight finalists, and “California Dreamin’” performed by all ten. All 14 tracks on American Idol: Greatest Moments, produced by Steve Lipson (Backstreet Boys, Annie Lennox), were performed on "American Idol" during the final weeks of the reality-based television barnburner. In addition to Kelly and Justin, the show's remaining eight finalists featured on the album include Nikki McKibbon, Tamyra Gray, EJay Day, RJ Helton, AJ Gil, Ryan Starr, Christina Christian, and Jim Verraros. Producer Steve Lipson, who put the compilation together in an unprecedented two-weeks time, finds a range of pop gems on the album. "I think Kelly's version of ‘Natural Woman' is really strong. Her vocals are brilliant. She sold me on the song completely. I like Christina's 'Ain't No Sunshine.' I think she got the emotion of it across well. Nikki is very good as well -- very underestimated. And Tamyra is brilliant too so there's not much more to say about her." RCA Records will follow American Idol: Greatest Moments with the debut album from “American Idol” champion Kelly Clarkson in the first quarter of 2003.

  • MEDIA FYI 2016 Calgary Stampede Parade Marshals: Jann Arden And
    July 4, 2016 MEDIA FYI 2016 Calgary Stampede Parade Marshals: Jann Arden and Paul Brandt CALGARY, ALBERTA – Calgary Stampede Parade Marshals occupy a prestigious place in the history of the Calgary Stampede. Among other things, they exemplify western heritage, values, and culture. 2016 Parade Marshals: Jann Arden and Paul Brandt In honour of our city’s “Year of Music” celebration, singer-songwriter Jann Arden and homegrown country music superstar Paul Brandt will lead the Calgary Stampede Parade. Fresh off hosting the 2016 Juno Awards, Calgary-born Arden is a singer, songwriter, broadcaster and author. Whether she is captivating audiences with her heartfelt music, entertaining them with her quick wit or sharing her written word in a boldly honest voice – Arden is a Canadian original – a brilliant multi-dimensional talent. Brandt, the most awarded male Canadian Country Music artist in history, had an unlikely journey of humble beginnings and big dreams to fame and stardom. A true Calgary Stampede friend, Brandt headlined the stage for all 10 nights of the 2012 Centennial TransAlta Grandstand Show. History of the Parade Marshal One of the Calgary Stampede’s oldest and proudest traditions is the role of Stampede Parade Marshal. The Parade Marshal not only leads the Parade, but is also a reflection of the values and culture of the community. The very first Calgary Stampede Parade in 1912 was led by 1,800 members of the Treaty 7 First Nations at the request of Stampede visionary, Guy Weadick. People marveled at the grandeur and splendor of seeing 1,800 First Nations people from five different tribes dressed in their traditional regalia.
