Fresh from the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise, Southern Hospitality will make a stop at Earl’s Hideaway for a rare performance. This band is comprised of lap steel guitar master Damon Fowler, guitarist ex- traordinaire J.P. Soars, and keyboard wizard Victor Wain- wright. The three artists are musician’s musicians, each bringing a unique style and fresh translation of the great Southern soul, blues, and rock music that came before them. The three principal musicians in Southern Hospital- ity are each bandleaders and recording artists in their own right and putting these guys together makes for an unstop- pable session. Together, their mutual chemistry, high en- ergy and skill sets create a cohesive vision, with echoes of Muscle Shoals and Macon, that organically flows together into an entirely original and dynamic form of Americana, Southern soul roots music with a modern sensibility. The Bruce Katz Band is the other music legend. While Blues is a very important part of his music, Bruce’s music has more angles and influences, occupying a unique space where blues, “soul-jazz”, jam-band rock, and all aspects of Americana Music collide into a style of original music all his own. He is equally comfortable playing Hammond B-3 Organ and Piano. Besides leading the Bruce Katz Band, Bruce performs regularly with the Delbert McClin- ton Band, Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band, John Hammond, and other artists as well. He was a member of the Gregg Allman Band from 2007-2013. Bruce Katz has also scheduled a con- cert at Heidi’s Jazz Club in Cocoa Beach where you can hear his jazzier side. 12 - Brevard Live February 2018 Brevard Live February 2018 - 13 14 - Brevard Live February 2018 Brevard Live Saturday, Feb 17, Noon -5pm, Florida Tech March 3 and 4, Grant Community Center International Festival Grant Seafood Festival rom Africa to Korea, Saudi Arabia to Taiwan, the ree admission, free parking, over 125 crafters exhibiting, Fworld’s cultures, foods and traditions will be celebrated Flive continuous entertainment, along with a scrumptious at Florida Institute of Technology’s 12th Annual Interna- menu of succulent seafood makes this a weekend no one tional Festival from noon to 5 pm, Saturday, Feb.

FARM AID: A CASE STUDY OF A CHARITY ROCK ORGANIZATION by Andrew M. Palen A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies at The University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee December 2016 ABSTRACT FARM AID: A CASE STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF A CHARITY ROCK ORGANIZATION by Andrew M. Palen The University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, 2016 Under the Supervision of Professor David Pritchard This study examines the impact that the non-profit organization Farm Aid has had on the farming industry, policy, and the concert realm known as charity rock. This study also examines how the organization has maintained its longevity. By conducting an evaluation on Farm Aid and its history, the organization’s messaging and means to communicate, a detailed analysis of the past media coverage on Farm Aid from 1985-2010, and a phone interview with Executive Director Carolyn Mugar, I have determined that Farm Aid’s impact is complex and not clear.

The first half of this course will focus on three major regions: Nashville, California and Texas, and concentrate on the period 1950-1975. The second half will look at the women of country, discuss the making of a country song and record, look at the work of five great songsmiths, visit the country music of the 1980’s, and end with an examination of Americana music. The course will do this through lectures, photographs, recorded music, film clips, question and answer sessions, and the use of live music.
