    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: Cynthia Carter West C: 757-274-7370 • T: 757-282-2804 [email protected] VIRGINIA ARTS FESTIVAL PRESENTS BOYZ II MEN with Virginia Symphony Orchestra Norfolk, VA - The Virginia Arts Festival adds an R&B component to its eclectic 20th anniversary season with a performance by Boyz II Men on May 22. Tickets go on public sale Jan. 27. Now celebrating 25 years in the music industry, Boyz II Men continues to engage audiences with its multi-octave, smooth sound that brings new life to both timeless pop classics and contemporary ballads. For this soulful evening in Norfolk's Chrysler Hall, Boyz II Men will be accompanied by the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. The trio can claim the distinction of being the best-selling R&B group of all time with more than 60 million albums sold. During that time, they earned an impressive four Grammy Awards, nine American Music Awards, nine Soul Train Awards, and three Billboard Awards. Their appearances in the United States and around the globe have earned high marks. The Dallas Morning News called the trio's Motown revue a “righteous throw-down with vibrant singing.” The Guardian in London praised their wholesome delivery and “glorious a cappella harmonies.” Collide,” a collection of ballads released in 2014, was their 11th studio album. Other recent releases include Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA (2007), Love (2009) and Twenty (2011), marking their two decades in the music business. All three performers - baritone Nathan Morris and tenors Shawn Stockman and Wanya Morris – are original members of a singing group that has its roots in Philadelphia's High School for the Creative and Performing Arts.

  • Capturing That Solid-Gold Nugget
    Chapter 1 Capturing That Solid-Gold Nugget In This Chapter ▶ Gathering song ideas from anywhere ▶ Organizing and tracking your thoughts and inspirations ▶ Documenting your ideas his book is for everyone who shares the dream of harnessing the song- Twriting power we all have within. You’ve come to the right place if your heart keeps telling you to write a song, but your mind is uncertain as to the process of the craft or what’s required to create a really good song. You bought the right book if you’re wondering how to collect and organize your ideas. You have found the right resource if you have pieces of songs lying in notebooks and on countless cassettes but can’t seem to put the pieces together. This book is for you if you have racks of finished song demos but don’t know what to do next to get them heard. When you know the elements that make up a great song and how the pros go about writing one, you can get on the right path to creating one of your own. Unless you’re lucky enough to have fully finished songs come to you in your deepest dreams, or to somehow take dictation from the ghosts of Tin Pan Alley (the publishing area located in New York City in the 1930s and 1940s), most of us need to summon the forces, sources, reasons, and seasons that give us the necessary motivation to draw a song from our heart of hearts. Given that initial spark, you then need the best means of gathering those ideas, organizing them, putting them into form, and documenting them as they roll COPYRIGHTEDin — before it’s too late and they MATERIAL roll right out again! Have you ever noticed how you can remember a powerful dream just after you’ve awakened only for it to vanish into thin air in the light of day? Song ideas can be just as illusive.

Instead of having a traditional dissertation, this project is organized like a record album where each chapter is a Track that contains an original song that parallels and plays off the subject matter being discussed to make a more encompassing, multidimensional, holistic, improvisational, and critical statement as the songs and riffs move along together to tell why an arts-based musical way of being can be a choice and alternative in our lives.
