WEBB WILDER in concert

May 17 7:30 PM

WEBB WILDER IN CONCERT
at 450 Thach Avenue, Auburn

Vintage Guitar Magazine said it best: "If Webb Wilder is passing within 300 miles of your town, DON'T MISS HIM!" He has described the music he makes as, "Rock for Roots fans and Roots for Rock fans." In essence: Rock and Roll. There’s nothing new about combining R & B, Rock and Roll, Country, Blues, Pop and Rock. The Rolling Stones and the Beatles proved that it can yield marvelous and diverse results. The self-proclaimed "Last Of The Full Grown Men" hasn’t limited his creativity to the music business. There’s the picture business. His critically acclaimed indie films made him a cult hero and led to a major motion picture (Peter Bogdonavich’s "The Thing Called Love," Paramount). He’s done guest appearances on others' albums (Ben Folds, Jason Ringenberg, Farmer Jason, William Shatner, Maura O’Connell), and a Disney produced duo of companion CDs for the animated movie "Cars." His smooth baritone has been used for voice-overs on countless radio commercials; he even did a stint as one of America’s FIRST Satellite DJs on XM Radio for four and a half years. Using all manner of media, Webb Wilder has been impacting Popular culture (and it him) for way over 20 years, all the while maintaining a devoted worldwide fan base through a relentless, never ending tour schedule. Admission is $15 at the door (free for children 12 and under) and $12 tickets can be purchased at The Gnu's Room. Free coffee, tea, water and food will be available, and you are welcome to bring whatever food or beverage you prefer.

Carver Elementary Music Makers to Perform for Lunch Music

CARVER ELEMENTARY MUSIC MAKERS TO PERFORM FOR LUNCH MUSIC
at Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art

On Thursday, May 17 from noon to 1:00 PM, the weekly music series at The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art will feature a violin and choral concert by the George Washington Carver Elementary School Music Makers. The concert will be free to the public as are all of the series’ concerts. Their teacher, Sarah Schrader, will also play violin with pianist Julia Tucker. Before Schrader, an Auburn graduate, became Carver Elementary’s music teacher in 2006, the school had no music program. She started a chorus and a beginning violin class. Since then, as the children developed their talents, she has been able to form two audition-only groups, both of which will perform Thursday. Schrader, who started playing violin at age three, will perform a selection of classical dance pieces for violin and piano. Music will be by composers Sarasate, Veracini and Monti. She will be joined by Auburn native and pianist Juila Tucker. The museum’s fine art exhibitions are free and the Museum Café is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Its menu changes weekly and consists of light, freshly prepared salads, Italian panini and seasonal soups and entrees. Menu prices at the Café range from $5 to $9.

2012 Auburn Jazz & Blues Festival

May 19 6:00 PM until 11:00 PM

2012 AUBURN JAZZ & BLUES FESTIVAL
at Pebble Hill

Each spring since 2008, the Auburn Arts Association (AAA) has held a Jazz & Blues Festival to raise money for their various community art programs and classes they conduct throughout the year. In 2012, the event will be held Saturday, May 19th, from 6-11 pm. Artist lineup will be Johnny Sansone, Nick Moss, and Kristin Diable & The City.The Auburn Jazz & Blues Fest has always been a family-friendly, and in 2012 kids 14 and under will get in free with a parent. The Jazz & Blues Fest is primarily attended by adults, and has a ‘grown up’ atmosphere. Last year we were able to net almost $6,000 after the expenses of the event were paid, representing a 50% increase over our previous high. Our goal for the 2011 Auburn Jazz & Blues Festival is to raise $10,000 after the night’s expenses have been paid. This event is the largest single fundraiser for the Auburn Arts Association in a given year. The change of venue will lead to additional costs this year, but we can accommodate a much larger crowd and offer our patrons more parking, so it should be a positive move overall. Tickets will be $15 in advance, $20 at the door.

RTJ Golf Trail Celebrates 20th Anniversary

May 20

RTJ GOLF TRAIL CELEBRATES 20TH ANNIVERSARY
at Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Grand National

The Trail has various 20th anniversary deals and celebrations planned, most notably $20 on the number 20. On the 20th day of each month in 2012 you can play a round of golf on the Trail for just $20 (cart not included). The Trail also has a loyalty program in which Trail card holders will get their seventh round of golf free. This is the 20th year for the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. There is no other golf course project in the United States with its scope: 11 locations, 26 courses, 468 holes, over 100 miles of courses. From Huntsville to Mobile, and all points in-between, the Trail has changed the golf landscape. It is the brainchild of David Bronner, who took an idea of huge dimensions and made it reality. Often mimicked, the RTJ Golf Trail is the original "Golf Trail," coming to life in 1992 under the eye of the legendary course designer for which it is named. It's been told before, but why a golf trail? "The genesis was two things: To combat some of the negative publicity about the state and golf in the state," said Bronner. "It wasn't just in the sports pages, but the business pages, too. And second, a study showing that 90 percent of corporate leaders played golf." The story of how Robert Trent Jones Sr. came to be involved is a good one. The time frame was the early '90s. Bronner wrote the same form letter to five well known course designers. In the letter he outlined some of the scope of the project, including having 54-hole sites. He didn't know who or what he was specifically looking for to begin with, he said. Two never responded, one sent a form letter saying he wasn't interested, and one wrote him back implying it would never work. "Trent," as Bronner referred to Jones Sr., was the only one to pick up the phone and call. He called initially to see if Bronner was really serious. "I told him of course I was serious," said Bronner. "I wouldn't have written the letter if I wasn't. ... We hit it off and the Trail was off and running."

Dailey & Vincent

May 22

DAILEY & VINCENT
at Opelika Center for the Performing Arts

Jamie Dailey, formerly of Doyle Lawson’s Quicksilver, and Darrin Vincent, formerly of Ricky Skaggs’ Kentucky Thunder, became the most heralded new act in bluegrass as their debut album Dailey & Vincent (2008) and busy tour schedule introduced them to wildly appreciative audiences. The group took home seven awards at the 2008 International Bluegrass Music Awards Show, including Entertainer of the Year and Album of the Year. With Jeff Parker on mandolin; Joe Dean on banjo, guitar and mandolin; Jesse Stockman on fiddle; and Christian Davis on bass vocals and guitar; the band’s strength lies in the uncanny harmony of its vocal trios and quartets. With Dailey & Vincent’s impeccable arrangements and flawless performances, what you get is Bluegrass Gold. “I am so proud to say a few words about Dailey & Vincent. What a great sound. Not since the Louvin Brothers has music touched me this deep. I expect them to go all the way to the top and stay there.” -Dolly Parton. “With Dailey’s nimble tenor and Vincent’s reedy harmonies, the duo immediately joins the ranks of Flatt & Scruggs, the Osborne Brothers, Jim & Jesse and other great bluegrass duos. With new acts like these, the future of bluegrass is as sturdy as it’s past.” – Michael McCall, Associated Press
