Vince Gill’s illustrious music career spans over three decades and more than one dozen solo albums. The 54-year-old began playing in various bluegrass bands during high school and was the lead singer of Pure Prairie League from 1979 to 1981\, before his first solo release\, "Turn Me Loose\," in 1983. He released his breakout platinum-selling album\, "When I Call Your Name\," in 1990 before declining an offer to join Dire Straits. The title track climbed to number two on the Billboard charts and landed Gill his first Country Music Association Award for Single of the Year and his first Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance. Gill hosted the Country Music Awards a record twelve consecutive years\, earning respect for his ad libs and subtle humor. He is also saluted as one of country music’s most active humanitarians. The contemporary artist is also known for his collaborations with other artists such as Emmylou Harris\, Dolly Parton\, Barbra Streisand\, Reba McEntire and others. In August 2007\, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. "Guitar Slinger\," Gill’s latest album\, was released in 2011 and features a collection of emotional stories and surprising guitar riffs\, as well as the vocals of Gill's daughter Jenny\, wife Amy Grant and the couple’s 9-year-old daughter Corinna.

More than 35 years ago\, Jones recorded “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes\,” a song that wondered aloud whether newcomers would come along that could possibly walk in the footsteps of the progenitors and giants of country music. All this time later\, it’s not a question we’ve had to seriously consider: Jones himself is still around to step into those shoes of sublimity. They just happen to be exactly his size. A jury of his peers has found him guilty… of unparalleled vocal superiority. Consider some of these endorsements from fellow music legends: Frank Sinatra famously (and coyly) referred to Jones as “the second greatest singer in America.” Garth Brooks summed up the consensus view when he called him “the greatest voice ever to sing country music.” Waylon Jennings expressed a common jealousy when he said\, "If we all could sound the way we wanted\, we'd all sound like George Jones." Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones put things in more honorific terms: "George Jones is a national treasure and should be treated accordingly.” Don’t worry\, Keith: America hasn’t fallen down on the job when it comes to that kind of lionization. Jones has received the four highest honors that can be granted to anyone in his line of work\, starting with his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1992. Ten years later\, the president bestowed the National Medal of Arts upon him. In yet another executive-branch moment\, Jones was saluted by the Kennedy Center Honors in 2008. This year\, Jones got another top honor to round out music’s most enviable trophy shelf\, as the Grammys presented him with their Lifetime Achievement Award. Short of being carved into Mount Rushmore\, there aren’t many all-time plaudits left for him to earn. You don’t rack up that kind of adoration by playing possum – unless\, of course\, you’re the Possum\, to name one of Jones’ affectionately bestowed nicknames. (You don’t get it by being a “no-show\,” either\, though Jones had a few notorious years where he earned that particular term of endearment.) No\, you merit it through the kind of work ethic that can be measured partially in numbers. With a run of songs extending from the mid-1950s into the 21st century\, Jones has had a whopping 143 Top 40 country hits – a chart run that renders any “best-of” set that’s not a bulky boxed set woefully incomplete. But Jones has always been more about soul than stats. And that’s the kind of quality that can best be explained by the stars who continue to take a lesson from his classic recordings. “George's voice is equal parts pain and home\,” young country singer Eric Church told the Washington Post. Jamey Johnson put it this way: "His voice is the voice of your own spirit. If your spirit could jump out and have its own voice and sing a country song to you\, it'd sound like George Jones. He feels everything for you.” Said Emmylou Harris: “He has a remarkable voice that flows out of him effortlessly and quietly\, but with an edge that comes from the stormy part of the heart.” He’s been compared to Sinatra as a saloon-singer stylist. Interestingly\, though\, many fellow singers keep referring to blues and R&B as the nearest antecedents for Jones’ inimitable phrasing. Noted Kid Rock\, “It's a country voice\, but he has such a great blues range\, the way he bends all those notes.” As Vince Gill put it for the Post\, “People are drawn to the soulfulness of the way George sings\, [even though] it doesn't equate that twangy beer-drinkin' and cheatin' songs would be thought of as ‘soulful’… You can't define the ache that's in George's voice. It's just something inherently him.” No singer has ever made (or helped) more people cry. That’s a legacy he’s hardly shied away from. “Jones told me once that he’d rather sing a sad song than eat\,” Tennessean music columnist Peter Cooper noted. But Jones wasn’t always known as the King of Broken Hearts (to mention a Jim Lauderdale song that was written as a tribute to Jones and became a salutary hit in the hands of George Strait). At first\, Jones was known as a good-time guy and honky-tonk man. He even recorded some rockabilly early in his career. He was a co-writer on his first chart hit\, 1955’s “Why Baby Why\,” which buried the lyrical heartbreak in a fast-paced rave-up of a tune. (No wonder that breakout song was subsequently covered by everyone from Webb Pierce and Charlie Pride to –just in the past few years — Patty Loveless\, Buddy Miller\, and the Secret Sisters.) His first No. 1 hit\, 1959’s “White Lightning\,” was a blur of hilarious tics and hiccups that established him as a vocal marvel but hardly hinted at the master balladeer to come. But after Jones paired up with producer Billy Sherrill in the 1970s and ‘80s\, their work together exemplified the lusciously string-drenched style known as country-politan\, and it became clear that his records were better for drowning sorrows than any drink a bartender could ever proffer. One outright weeper\, 1980’s “He Stopped Loving Her Today\,” became widely regarded as the greatest country single of all time\, to go along with the best-in-class kudos racked up by its singer. Born in 1931\, George was reared in Beaumont\, Texas on the twin weekly rituals of hymn-singing and Grand Ole Opry radio broadcasts\, where he took his first musical cues from heroes like Bill Monroe and Roy Acuff. (“I would give anything if I could sing like George Jones\,” Acuff\, the teacher\, later said about the student.) His early life was a school of hard knocks not uncommon to east Texas. He ran away at 14\, and was soon on the honky-tonk circuit backing seemingly more promising crooners. Marriage at 20 was followed by divorce at 21 and a stint in the Marines. Then\, in 1954\, he signed with Starday Records and began recording with Lefty Frizzell’s backup band. After the first run of up-tempo hits\, he really came into his own with haunting ballads like “The Window Up Above” that seemed to exist in a romantic past\, haunted present\, and deliriously uncertain future all at once. In the ‘60s\, Jones recorded hundreds of songs for the Mercury\, Musicor\, and United Artists labels\, including the No. 1 classics “Tender Years\,” “She Thinks I Still Care\,” and “Walk Through This World With Me\,” as well as more ephemeral fare like “Love Bug.” He also found out just how much fans loved him not just as a soloist but recurring duet partner – for the time being\, Melba Montgomery\, his foil on “We Must Have Been Out of Our Minds” and other ‘60s singles. Of course\, the partner he’s most associated with is Tammy Wynette\, who had a major impact on the direction of his solo career as well. After Jones’ second marriage ended in divorce\, he met Tammy and moved to Nashville\, where they wed in 1969. In 1971\, he moved over to her label\, Epic\, and began working with her producer\, Sherrill. The years that followed were some of the most personally unhappy but commercially successful of Jones’ career\, as he racked up hit after iconic hit\, including “A Good Year for the Roses” (later covered by one of Jones’ most enthusiastic rock protégés\, Elvis Costello)\, “The Grand Tour\,” “I Always Get Lucky With You\,” and “If Drinkin’ Don’t Kill Me (Her Memory Will).” Even though Jones and Wynette split up in 1974\, they continued recording together through 1980\, making history as the first divorced couple ever to have No. 1 duets as “Golden Ring” and “Near You” hit the top of the charts. Jones’ substance abuse during those years made buying a ticket for one of his shows legendarily like buying a lottery ticket\, even if the odds slightly favored his making it to the show. “I never had anything as a kid and all of a sudden I had everything thrown at my feet. It can ruin you quickly\,” Jones recounted in his 1996 autobiography\, “I Lived to Tell It All.” But after he married the former Nancy Sepulvedo in 1983\, his personal life began an upward spiral and he shed his “No Show Jones” reputation for one that might as well have gotten him nicknamed Old Reliable. A series of critically acclaimed albums for the MCA label followed. There were relapses in his sobriety\, but following an automobile accident in the late ‘90s\, Jones sobered up for good. With the professional as well as personal support of his wife\, Jones reemerged with a Garth Brooks duet and a series of hits and rarities retrospectives on his own label\, Bandit Records. Fifty-six years after being named the Most Promising New Country Vocalist of 1956\, Jones still lives out that promise with a regular touring routine. Audiences still flock to hear the voice that is country’s most indescribable as well as\, by acclamation\, its finest. And the fact that Jones is the single greatest living link to country’s golden age is not lost on a generation of younger singers who not only revere him but continually name-check him in their own hits. Even a partial list of songs that mention Jones by name is exhausting and could fill an entire compilation album. That Jones-revering roundup would include Alan Jackson’s “Don’t Rock the Jukebox\,” the Jackson/Strait duet “Murder on Music Row\,” the Dixie Chicks’ “Long Time Gone\,” Shooter Jennings’ “4th of July\,” Aaron Lewis’ “Country Boy\,” Gretchen Wilson’s “California Girls\,” Eric Lee Beddingfield’s “The Gospel According to Jones\,” Jamey Johnson’s “Between Jennings and Jones” and “Keepin’ Up With the Jonesin’\,” Brantley Gilbert’s “Rock This Town\,” and most recently Jason Aldean’s smash “Dirt Road Anthem.” What about that voice is so captivating even to fans and performers who are several decades Jones’ junior? Legendary folk-rocker James Taylor could only liken those pipes to another great country instrument\, when he spoke about Jones in an issue of Rolling Stone devoted to the greatest singers of all time. “George Jones doesn’t sound like he was influenced by any other singer\,” said Taylor (who wrote his late ‘70s hit “Bartender” in the style of Jones and later re-recorded it with him). “He sounds like a steel guitar. It’s the way he blends notes\, the way he comes up to them and comes off them\, the way he crescendos and decrescendos. The dynamic of it is very tight and really controlled — it’s like carving with the voice.” Now that’s picked up his latest career-encompassing trophy\, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award\, Jones is having to carve out a little more shelf space in his Franklin\, Tennessee home. It’s one more honor to tell about if he ever writes a sequel to “I Lived to Tell It All.” LOCATION:SD URL:http://kikn.com/events-sioux-falls/george-jones-at-deadwood-mountain-grand/03-november-2012/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME: DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME: DTSTAMP:20130522T150016 CREATED:20120912T190056 LAST-MODIFIED:20120912T193303 UID:14556--@http://kikn.com SUMMARY:Zac Brown Band at Target Center DESCRIPTION: [caption id="attachment_14560" align="aligncenter" width="630" caption="Zac Brown Band/Facebook"][/caption] DATE: November 10\, 2012 TIME: 7:00PM DOORS OPEN: 1 hour prior to the event SEATING: View Seating Chart TICKETS: Available at the Target Center box office\, all Ticketmaster outlets\, online at ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000 TICKET PRICES: General Admission Floor Tickets: $69.50.  Reserved Floor Seats: $69.50.  Reserved Seats: $69.50 - $61.50 - $51.50 - $43.50 - $31.50.  Prices noted include $2.00 facility fee.

A five-time GRAMMY winner\, Wynonna is also a New York Times bestselling author thanks to her candid 2005 memoir Coming Home to Myself. Now she expands into fiction with her stirring new book\, Restless Heart. Drawing on her nearly 30 years experience as a country music megastar\, Wynonna's debut novel tells the story of young Kentucky native and aspiring country singer Destiny Hart. The story unfolds as Destiny wins the Kentucky Idol talent competition and makes the move to Nashville\, only to face rejection and a struggle to pay the bills. Destiny's big break finally comes\, and her dizzying rise to stardom leads her on a path of self-discovery grappling with love\, loss\, success\, and surrender. Overcoming obstacles is a recurring theme in Wynonna's work\, and that triumphant outlook shows up on every page of Restless Heart. Of course\, Wynonna's own journey as one half of legendary duo The Judds with her mother Naomi Judd provides one of the most fascinating stories in country music history. Rising to superstardom in the early '80s on the strength of chart toppers like "Mama's He's Crazy\," "Why Not Me" and "Grandpa (Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days)\," The Judds were unstoppable for the rest of the decade picking up multiple GRAMMY\, CMA and ACM Awards and selling more than 20 million albums along the way. The duo's initial run came to an end with a record-breaking farewell tour in 1991 after Naomi was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. While Wynonna went on to launch her wildly successful solo career\, Naomi fully recovered from her illness and became a bestselling author\, speaker and talk show host. Due to popular demand\, The Judds have embarked on two highly successful tours since Naomi's initial retirement -- 2000's Power to Change tour and their recent outing\, The Last Encore. In 1994\, Wynonna received the coveted Top Female Vocalist of the Year trophy at the ACM Awards\, and Rolling Stone called her "the greatest female country singer since Patsy Cline." Engaging the soulful\, bluesy side of her voice only hinted at with The Judds\, Wynonna went on to sell more than 10 million albums and reach new creative heights with six chart toppers of her own. Now\, with her novel Restless Heart in stores and The Judds OWN docu-series which debuted with enormous television ratings\, you can bet Wynonna's fans will be watching very closely as she writes this next chapter of her legendary career.

Stop and listen to any of Brantley Gilbert’s lyrics and you know a little about him. Listen to his albums and you will feel like family. Brantley Gilbert was born and raised in the small town of Jefferson\, Georgia\, just outside of Athens city limits. It is that upbringing and small town influence that Gilbert credits toward allowing him to cultivate his unique sound. Gilbert’s taste in music always swayed toward a southern country rock feel\, but his true-to-life testimony of heartache\, trials\, triumph\, and success found a home in country music. Gilbert’s career began on the stage: Night after night\, he played acoustic sets at various venues in his hometown and slowly began to notice familiar faces in the crowds. Gilbert soon realized that his acoustic shows — however intimate — didn’t satisfy his audience’s thirst for his rock-infused country music. “We went from these acoustic shows to a bona fide Country-Rock-Soul show that is wide open\,” says Gilbert. “Even when we play a ballad\, it’s high energy.” While on the road the past five years\, Gilbert has built his brand through his compelling lyrics and dynamic live show – a combination that attracted a strong underground band of believers who shared Gilbert’s passion for life and music; pretty soon his following had taken on a life of its own. As Gilbert tells it\, “[W]e don’t have fans\, we have friends. I like to think that those people in the crowd are just like me. They listen to the songs\, they get the meaning and get the purpose and they get something out of it.” It is this rabid fan base that became the first members of what is now known as the BG Nation. These dedicated fans and their insistence on new music from Gilbert encouraged him to bring his unique style to Nashville\, Tennessee where he soon signed with Warner/Chappell Publishing and began to develop music for a debut album release on an independent record label. On March 16\, 2010\, the rising star released his sophomore album\, HALFWAY TO HEAVEN\, the follow-up to his debut national release\, A MODERN DAY PRODIGAL SON. The sophomore effort peaked at #2 on iTunes Country Album Charts\, and at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Album Chart for all genres. “The Best of Me\,” a song from Gilbert’s first album was recorded by Country superstar Jason Aldean and earned a spot on his iTunes release WIDE OPEN. Then\, in August 2010\, Brantley’s song “My Kinda Party\,” became a #1 smash for Aldean\, as well as the title track to Aldean’s platinum-selling album. The superstar’s latest single\, “Dirt Road Anthem\,” was also written by Gilbert. “It’s an honor that someone like Jason would want to record one of my songs\,” says Gilbert. “It’s a big step for me as a songwriter and I couldn’t have asked for a better artist to perform the song. After all\, he is a Georgia boy!” As tour dates multiply throughout the South\, Gilbert’s fan base continues to expand. The rising star’s Facebook post see views of 7 million a month and his MySpace page has garnered more than 16 million total song plays— a number that has brought him to the #1 spot on MySpace Music Charts for both Country and Southern Rock. He also continues to sell out venues throughout the country – proof that the BG Nation is relentlessly growing. In February 2011\, Gilbert passed another career milestone when he signed with Big Machine Label Group’s imprint The Valory Music Co. -- home to superstars Reba and Jewel as well as #1 chart-topper Justin Moore. Brantley Gilbert’s first single on The Valory Music Co. debuted in the Top 40 at Country radio on its official impact date – an impressive feat by a new artist. Gilbert is currently in the studio with award winning producer Dann Huff working to finish his first album on The Valory Music Co. for a late summer release. “I’ve realized that life can be very short\, and everyone should take advantage of it\,” says Gilbert. “If you’re gonna live\, do something with it.

Prolific singer-songwriter Clint Black has long been heralded as one of Country music’s brightest stars. His many talents have taken him even further\, as Black has transcended genres to become one of the most successful artists in all the music industry. To date\, Black has written\, recorded and released more than 100 songs\, a benchmark in any artist’s career. An astounding one-third of these songs eligible for major single release also achieved hit song status at Country radio\, while more than 20 million of his albums have been sold worldwide. While it’s well-known that Black is an accomplished singer and guitarist\, people may be surprised to learn that he is also proficient on drums and harmonica. Black’s continued success can be attributed in part to his deep sense of Country music history\, and his humble gratitude in being an important part of it.

The hot Country rebel has already received much praise for his fist- pumping\, high- energy live show as an opener on both Eric Church and Toby Keith’s tours. “In the past few years\, the Georgia native has developed into one of country's hottest newcomers. In front of a big\, rowdy crowd\, he wore that rebellious streak on his sleeve and in the songs from his sophomore album\, "Halfway to Heaven." There was a scowl in his voice as he sang about running moonshine in "Hell on Wheels." The crowd sang back lyrics about cowboys\, hillbillies and radio stations that play "Cash\, Hank\, Willie and Waylon\," from Gilbert's chart-topping song "Country Must Be Country Wide." – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel “The energy that Brantley Gilbert brought to his set was almost indescribable. If the energy from the pumping arms of the 2\,000 people in the mosh pit arrayed in front of the stage could have been harnessed\, it likely would have powered the Huntington Center.” – The Toledo Blade Clearly raising hell in every state\, Gilbert is poised to confidently own the stage during the next level in his career. At just 27 years old Gilbert already has an impressive list of industry accolades. He was most recently nominated for the both the 2012 ACM and CMA New Artist of the Year after earning his first-ever nod in the Song of the Year category at the 2011 CMA Awards. His sophomore project\, the GOLD-certified HALFWAY TO HEAVEN DELUXE\, debuted at #2 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart and produced two GOLD\, #1 singles\, “Country Must Be Country Wide\,” and “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do.” As a celebrated songwriter\, he has also penned three #1 hits – “My Kinda Party\,” “Dirt Road Anthem\,” and “Country Must Be Country Wide.” Courtesy:  independenceeventscenter.com LOCATION:SD URL:http://kikn.com/events-sioux-falls/brantley-gilbert-kip-moore-at-independence-events-center/31-january-2013/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME: DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME: DTSTAMP:20130522T150016 CREATED:20121229T164942 LAST-MODIFIED:20121229T164942 UID:47427--@http://kikn.com SUMMARY:Gary Allan at Harrah's VooDoo Lounge DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_47428" align="aligncenter" width="630"] Gary Allan/Facebook[/caption] DATE:  February 17\, 2013 TIME:  8:00pm TICKET PRICES:  $45.00\, $55.00 and $75.00 TICKETS:  Available at the Harrah's Casino box office\, all Ticketmaster outlets\, online at Ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000 * Must be 21+ with valid ID Gary Allan performs music from his new album "Set You Free" at the VooDoo Lounge in Harrah's Casino in North Kansas City.

Ticket price is $46.50 Tickets are now on sale and available at the Sioux Falls Arena box office\, charge by phone at 1-800-745-3000 and at all Ticketmaster outlets. Arena box office hours are Monday through Friday\, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. In November of 2012 Jeff Dunham kicked off his all new “Disorderly Conduct” worldwide tour. The new tour offers his global fan base a brand new show packed with more laughs than ever before. Dunham’s famed troupe of sidekicks are back: Walter the Grumpy Retiree\, Achmed the Dead Terrorist\, the beer-fueled redneck Bubba J\, the manic purple creature Peanut\, the spicy pepper from south of the border José Jalapeño\, and Peanut’s own ventriloquist dummy Little Jeff\, a mini-version of the ringmaster himself. Dunham and his comedic sidekicks recently taped a new Comedy Central one hour special entitled “Minding the Monsters\,” that is now available on DVD.  The new show is the fifth in a string of record breaking specials. “Minding the Monsters” takes its audience into the ultimate haunted house where you can see Walter transform into something grumpier than he already is\, watch Bubba J rise from the dead\, meet Peanut’s alter ego\, The Purple Avenger of the Night\, and his spicy sidekick\, and witness Achmed literally dressed to kill in an outfit that would terrify the most terrifying terrorist! The phenomenal international success of Dunham and his cohorts have been driven by his Comedy Central specials\, which set global records for both ratings and sales. Last September\, Dunham’s 4th Comedy Central TV special “Controlled Chaos\,” premiered to a staggering 8.3 million viewers overall making it the most viewed cable show that night. The global TV event enjoyed a never-before simultaneous same day worldwide debut in a dozen countries. Dunham continued to break ratings records at the end of 2011\, when The Bio Channel’s premiere of Jeff Dunham: “Birth of a Dummy” became the network’s top rated telecast ever. No wonder The New York Times Magazine declared Jeff Dunham “the most successful comedian working in America.”  Dunham was recently named Pollstar’s #1 Comedy Tour in North America for three years running as well as their Top Worldwide Tour for the third year in a row.  In addition\, Dunham’s undeniable talent placed him on Forbes magazine’s Celebrity 100 roster of most powerful entertainers for the past four years. . Dunham’s autobiography “All By My Selves: Walter\, Peanut\, Achmed\, And Me” debuted in late 2010 and instantly climbed the New York Times best sellers list and achieved a Five-Star Reader Rating on Amazon.  The book candidly recounts Dunham’s amazing rise to international fame beginning with his first public performances for a mere $5 a show as a fourth-grader in his Dallas\, TX hometown\,  followed by years of intensive touring on the comedy club circuit from his college years into adulthood to becoming an international comedy phenomenon.

Walker/Getty Images)[/caption] More than fifty years ago one musical changed theater forever. Now it’s back and mesmerizing audiences once again. From the first note to the final breath\, West Side Story soars as the greatest love story of all time and remains as powerful\, poignant and timely as ever. The Bernstein and Sondheim score is considered to be one of Broadway’s finest and features such classics of the American musical theatre as “Something’s Coming\,” “Tonight\,” “America\,” “I Feel Pretty” and “Somewhere.” Based on Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet\, West Side Story is set in 1950’s New York City. It follows the doomed love story of two star-crossed lovers from rival gangs – the Jets (a working-class white gang) and the Sharks (first-generation Puerto Ricans). Tony\, a member of the Jets\, falls in love with Maria\, sister of Bernardo\, the leader of the Sharks. West Side Story has often been credited with changing the entire course of the American musical theatre. TIME Magazine said of the original production “Robbins’ energetic choreography and Bernstein’s grand score accentuate the satiric\, hard-edged lyrics of Sondheim and Laurents’ capture of the angry voice of urban youth.” As the Associated Press says\, “West Side Story remains Broadway’s best dance-driven musical. Five decades have not dimmed the extraordinary choreography or the score that pulsates throughout.” Viewer Discretion: West Side Story is recommended for ages 14+. Please be advised that there is strong language\, violence and some sensitive subject matter that is true to the story and plot. Parental guidance is suggested.  Click here for ticket information.

She surely did that\, achieving such breakthroughs as being the first Contemporary Christian artist to have a platinum record\, the first to hit #1 pop and the first to perform at the Grammys. Yet perhaps her greatest accomplishment was to open the door for a flood of other artists in pop as well as rock to sing about faith and soul and family and still grasp stardom. With that\, her legacy as one of the most influential artists of the past couple of decades is assured. Amy Grant is recommended for all ages.   LOCATION:301 S Main St, Sioux Falls, SD, 57104, United States URL:http://kikn.com/events-sioux-falls/amy-grant/05-april-2013-washington-pavilion-2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME: DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME: DTSTAMP:20130522T150018 CREATED:20130408T093700 LAST-MODIFIED:20130416T115454 UID:82594--@http://kikn.com SUMMARY:Godsmack DESCRIPTION:The Sioux Empire Fair is pleased to announce that GODSMACK will be performing at the 74th Annual Sioux Empire Fair on Saturday\, August 3 as part of the Grandstand Concert Series. In February of 1995\, after being behind the drums for more than 23 years\, Sully Erna decided to start a new band. It was only a matter of time before he realized he needed to take charge and step out from behind the kit to front the band himself. One year and a couple of member changes later Godsmack was born. Sully Erna\, Robbie Merrill and Tony Rombola hit the studio and recorded their first CD titled All Wound Up. They did this over one weekend for a measly twenty six-hundred dollars. Over the next two years\, the band played throughout the Boston scene with drummer Joe Darco and began earning a strong reputation of being a great live band. The noise they were making in the New England area created a snowball effect like no other. We are excited to announce that GODSMACK is our Featured Performance and is the only paid Grandstand show. General admission tickets are $35.00 and are on sale now. They can be purchased through siouxempirefair.com\, Ernie November 41st location or Fairgrounds Administration office. With the purchase of an advance ticket\, you will also get admittance into the Fair.

Adapted from the Broadway version\, this adaptation especially for young audiences features thirteen actors and enhanced production values. The Cat in the Hat is the host and emcee (and all-around mischief-maker) in this romp through the Seuss classics. When the sweet\, good-natured elephant Horton hears a small cry for help coming from a small speck of dust\, he promises to rescue and guard it because "a person's a person\, no matter how small." On that small speck of dust lives JoJo\, an imaginative young Who. JoJo has astounding "thinks\," in which anything's possible\, but his parents believe this creativity is inappropriate for the son of the Mayor of Who-Ville. Meanwhile\, the one-feathered bird\, Miss Gertrude McFuzz\, desperately wants Horton to notice her. Maybe\, she thinks\, she just needs a more impressive tail. At the same time\, the amazingly lazy Maysie La Bird connives\, cajoles and convinces Horton to sit on her egg while she goes off on a spree. Will the planet of Who survive? Will Horton pay attention to Gertrude? Will Maysie ever return for her egg? Dr. Seuss's beloved classic characters find themselves intertwined in an incredible crazy-quilt adventure\, in which the power of imagination and the most miraculous "think" ever save the day? The performance is recommended for all ages.

Sommervold Hall at the Washington Pavilion. This is not your run-of-the-mill magic show; and the Spencers are not your typical magicians.  The Spencers carry a lot of equipment in their 65 foot customized truck and trailer\, but a rabbit and a top hat are not in the inventory. Tickets start at $28 and can be purchased now at the Washington Pavilion Box Office\, online at www.washingtonpavilion.org and by phone at (605) 367-6000. All tickets are subject to tax and fees. Kevin and Cindy Spencer\, known professionally as “The Spencers\,” are among the world’s most recognized magical performers.  They have mesmerized millions of people with sold out performances in 19 countries on 5 continents. And they have left a trail of accolades in their wake including: Performing Arts Entertainers of the Year an amazing six times and\, in 2009\, were bestowed magic’s highest honor\, the Merlin Award for International Magicians of the Year joining the ranks of Henning\, Copperfield\, and Penn & Teller. The Spencers’ production is a unique fusion of magic and illusion\, humor and mystery\, and persona and personality.  With a background in clinical psychology\, Kevin likes to say\, “I was going to help people’s minds but now I just mess with them.”  Their show\, Theatre of Illusion\, stands in stark contrast to the traditional magic show. Spencer sees it not as a stage full of tricks used to fool people\, but as a way to inspire viewers with a sense of wonder.  By blending the theatrical elements of a Broadway-style production with the high energy of a rock concert\, these artists take their audience on a journey to the brink of impossibility… and back again.  Audience members don’t simply watch the show\, but are also invited to participate in the magic.  Using magic much like a storyteller uses words\, Spencer fuses this family-friendly production with a gamut of emotions.  With the skills of a master showman\, he creates a world where nothing is impossible and anything can happen. Kevin Spencer has committed his life to magic both on stage and off.  When he’s not working with his crew to set up a show\, Spencer can be found spreading the word about the therapeutic and educational benefits of learning magic for persons with disabilities.  He is widely considered the leading authority on the functional and academic benefits of the art of illusion.  HEALING OF MAGIC uses simple magic tricks as a form of rehabilitative therapy.  HOCUS FOCUS integrates magic tricks into the classroom as a way of motivating students in the learning process.  Both projects have an international reputation with published research in leading scientific journals.  Spencer received the Harry Chapin Award for Contributions to Humanity in recognition of his work in healthcare and education. Magic is no longer merely about baffling the audience by doing something seemingly impossible. We've seen it all before. Magic these days is about spectacle\, drama\, danger\, and personality. Kevin and Cindy Spencer are the masters of this new magic theatre.  Entertainers come and go\, but few make a lasting impression on their audience or their art.  The Spencers are that rare exception!  This is one show you won’t want to miss!

The LP-I training helps persons with mental illness that are either non-adherent\, or only partially adherent\, become fully engaged in treatment and services and to cooperate with persons who are trying to help them (with accepting treatment and services and/or in law enforcement/corrections settings\, with de-escalation and following requests/directions). The success of the LEAP approach rests on three pillars: 1.   Consumer Focus: Developing a new relationship with the mentally ill person that focuses exclusively on problems that the "patient" perceives. 2.   Treatment Team: Breaking down the barriers that keep the provider\, family\, other stakeholders ( law enforcement\, judges\, attorneys)\, and consumer from functioning as an effective team. 3.   Common goals: Finding common ground between team members and the consumer\, that can be shaped into goals that will be worked on together.
