MILLARD, NE – When announcing that they would be opening their first permanent off-site campus, leaders of StoneBridge Christian Church called it a “journey of faith,” proclaiming that their church, which began in 1908 with only eight members, would continue to grow and attract new worshipers. Like all journeys of faith, however, this one was […]
NEW YORK – Live performances by musical icons have become as much a part of the early morning routine for many in the US as warm muffins and hot coffee. A big reason why is The Today Show’s unbroken 21-year run of summer superstar concerts, the first series of its kind on morning network television. […]
SPOKANE, WA – Although it has locations across the US, the Red Lion Hotel chain isn’t ranked among the giants of the hospitality industry. The Spokane-based chain is, however, second to none when it comes to customer service. This much is evident from the many accolades the chain has won, including multiple Number 1 ratings […]
LOUISVILLE – Christmas concerts are a highlight on the calendars of many churches. However, although they’re exciting, these events often involve elaborate stage productions and appearances by guest artists, both of which can create new sets of challenges for a church’s tech team. CHAUVET Professional is addressing this issue at an upcoming WFX Conference panel […]
Times, tastes and celebrities may change, but the grandiose Beverly Hilton has continuously embodied chic California cool since it opened in 1955. From Marilyn to Madonna and on to Miley and Pink, the rich, famous and beautiful have congregated at this swank spot, earning it the moniker “the place to see and be seen.” Much […]
There are many good reasons why aerial lighting is an integral part of so many designs. Aerial effects not only make a show look bigger, even when relatively few fixtures are used, they also add a sense of architectural depth to the stage. This depth draws attention to the stage itself, even though the lights […]
NEW YORK – Success has not spoiled Bayside. After 16 years, seven critically acclaimed albums and a succession of sold-out world tours, this New York-based group remains as raw, hungry and true to its musical roots as ever. The familiar catchy chorus breaks and rambunctious guitar riffs that have run through the band’s performances from […]
LAS VEGAS – By their very nature, most industry award ceremonies are a combination of concert and corporate event. Few of these confabs, however, come close to matching the multi-dimensional character of the North American Hair Styling Awards, or NAHA as it is known to those in the beauty industry, which was held at the […]
CHILLICOTHE, IL – The 20,000-plus fans who turn out for the weekend Summer Camp Music Festival like it so much that every year about half of them turn up a day early for a giant “Pre Party.” The assembled partiers almost double the population of the central Illinois hamlet of Chillicothe, but no one – […]
PHILADEPHIA – For the first 122 years of its existence, the distinct looking building on 11th and Spring Garden Streets in the City of Brotherly Love was never an entertainment venue. Its new owners were quick to make up for lost time, however, when they converted the former farmers’ market turned Reading Railroad luggage handling […]
SUNRISE, FL – It is somehow altogether fitting that Shinedown begins their set on the Carnival of Madness Tour with their raging rock anthem “Adrenaline.” An adrenaline rush is precisely what the hard rock icons have been serving up to fans on this festival tour with their cranked-up amps, ferocious riffs and frontman Brent Smith’s […]
