Free Entry to 'Rock the City'!

 

 

An Invitation from Darryl Haley

 

I have always been passionate about National Parks and fitness and always wanted to share this passion with as many people as possible.

 

Working with Healthy Parks, Healthy People, the National Park Service, and the National Parks Conservation Association, we are offering Arts in the Park to promote Park Rx and trail maintenance - through and our series Rock the City Concerts.

 

As an introduction to our concert series, Rock the City, we would like to invite you to be our guest at the kick-off concert, on Saturday, August 6th.  This concert will feature positive hip-hop, gospel, jazz, and funk music.  Just bring a copy of your e-mail (electronic or paper version) and you will receive free admittance to the  August 6th concert. 

 

Thank you and I hope to see you this Saturday and at other Rock the City events, as well!

  Saturday's Line Up

 

 

Groove Spot Band and Show - For years the Groove-Spot Band and Show has been a local and regional R&B favorite. Critically-acclaimed, they have performed and shared the stage with many of the nation's leading recording acts. Most recently the Groove-Spot Band has been the opening act for such groups as Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, The Stylistics, Freddie Jackson, Howard Hewitt, the Intruders and the Floaters. Later this year, the band is scheduled to share the stage with The O'Jays, Bloodstone and the Dramatics. The Groove-Spot Band is a crowd favorite, with their soulful vocals and solid instrumentals, they gets crowds onto their feet and keeps them dancing!

 

Terrence Richburg - Terrence Richburg is an accomplished recording artist who is well-versed in all musical styles and genres. Terrence chronicles a vast musical history in the Gospel, Jazz, and Gospel-Jazz communities, having worked with such notables as Richard Smallwood & Vision, Maurette Brown Clark, Vanessa R. Williams, Marcus Johnson, Alyson Williams, Cee Cee Michaela, Yolanda Adams, Kim Jordan, Jeremiah Murphy, Aretha Franklin, The Winans, Jennifer Holliday, Tramaine Hawkins, Walter Hawkins, Isaiah Thomas, James Cleveland, Shirley Caesar, Ben Tankard, Bobby Lyle, and Nick Colionne, as well as others.

 

Dave Bass - As a Gospel music performer, Dave Bass doesn't do Gospel, he lives it, he breathes, he pays homage to his influences that include, Hank Williams, Dixie Hummingbirds, Frank Sinatra, Mahalia Jackson, Nat King Cole, Brook Benton, Jesse Belvin, The Ink Spots, The Mills Brothers, The Temptations, Patsy Cline, Clyde McPhatter, Johnny Cash, Nancy Wilson and the silky smooth sound of Sam Cooke. In fact, Dave Bass is most noted for his eerily similar song stylings in the Gospel tradition of Sam Cooke.

 

Javier Starks - Changing the world with 100 percent Positive (Curse-Free) Hip Hop! One life at a time! Javier's mission is to demonstrate that young people can be successful without negativity that is often in Hip Hop music. In 2004, Javier began working with youth, to offer a counterbalance to the Hip Hop music that is saturating the market. He performs extensively, most recently at the New Orleans Music Festival and teaches creative writing and performing to youth.
