Pokey LaFarge And The South City Three – The Ballroom at the Taft Theatre – June 29

Posted on April 22, 2012 by admin

Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) April 18, 2012

Of the many roots musicians traveling the world, spreading the early American music tradition, St. Louis musician and singer Pokey LaFarge is the next in line to make a significant impact on music enthusiasts everywhere. His creative mix of early jazz, string ragtime, country blues and western swing rings true and fine, making him one of the most innovative of all the purists performing American roots music today. It’s wonderfully infectious, and all laid down in front of a big, big swingin’ beat

General Admission tickets, $ 8 ADV & $ 10 DOS (plus applicable fees), go on sale Friday April 27 at 10 AM at http://www.ticketmaster.com, http://www.tafttheatre.org, the Taft Theatre Box Office and all Ticketmaster outlets including select Kroger stores. Charge by phone at 1.800.745.3000.

A lot of performers are content to play old material, reworking the tunes to give them new life or to stamp them with personal style. But LaFarge both achieves timelessness with his original songs and honors the legendary songwriters and musicians of songs he covers. He uses his booming voice as an instrument with an incredible range; above his parlor guitar one moment he shouts a line and the next he croons. And while his music may be a fitting soundtrack to R. Crumb’s comics, don’t dare to call it “old-timey.” Whether performing solo or with his crew of painstakingly hand-picked supporting musicians, Lafarge’s extraordinary blend of raw talent and refined, idiosyncratic charm turns reviewers into poets as they attempt to label his one-of-a-kind sound.

Born in the heartland of America and now just 26 years old, Pokey LaFarge has been hitching through the countryside and whisking off to faraway lands ever since he was a teenager. He is a perpetual traveler, constantly in motion and drawing musical inspiration from the heroes and misfits of yesterday; the long lost troubadours of country, the kings of swamp-drenched ragtime, and all the legendary bluesmen of the Cotton Kingdom. Sharing that inspiration has been a mission of sorts for LaFarge, making sure that people remember that there’s more to music than just the sounds that manufactured pop stars are making today. LaFarge is out to help listeners and live audiences rediscover an earlier time in America by bringing forth his special mix of music, featuring such acoustic instruments as parlor guitar, guitjo, double bass, kazoo, and harmonica. His sounds are truly original and modern, yet LaFarge’s influences are apparent, as tinges of Blind Boy Fuller, Bob Wills, and Jimmie Rodgers are easily recognizable.

Terry Nolan of No Depression may have described LaFarge and his album best, as he mused that the songster “could be the birth of the next Bill Monroe creating such a fine mix of ragtime, jugband, blues, folk and country, he has found his own genre. For now, he’s solidly in the contemporary Americana genre, only because the music is hard to categorize. And I think Pokey LaFarge prefers it that way. Catch him on record and live before he leaves us all in his dust.”

LaFarge has no plans of stopping his mission of spreading the joy of early American music to the masses. With him and The South City Three already scheming their next studio recording and planning their jam-packed 2011 performance schedule that will certainly have them playing even more high profile venues and events worldwide, look for Pokey to continue his rise as a premier tradition-bearer, musician, songwriter, and entertainer.

Matthew Emerzian Will Speak at the Boulder Area Human Resource Association’s Sustainability Conference Focused on Corporate Social Responsibility and Employee Engagement

Posted on March 29, 2012 by admin

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 29, 2012

Matthew Emerzian, CEO of Every Monday Matters, will be one of the keynote speakers at this years BAHRA Sustainability Conference in Boulder, Colorado on April 19th. Matthew is the co-author and co-founder of “Every Monday Matters 52 Ways to Make a Difference”. Upon graduating from UCLA with an MBA, he became a SVP of a major music marketing company. He was on top of the heap as they say, but felt like he was at the bottom of it all after waking up to a massive panic attack one Monday morning in 2003. It was a day that changed his life forever. Grappling with the pain and emptiness, Matthew realized he had spent his career focusing on so much that didnt matter. He turned his life around by getting involved in things that were bigger than himself, thereby changing his heart and direction in life.

Matthew created Every Monday Matters to communicate that it is the ordinary individual, either acting alone or together with others, who can change the world. Fueled by his conviction that each person matters, conference attendees will not only be inspired on a personal level, but will also walk away with a better understanding of how to incorporate social responsibility in their organization through real life examples and innovative ways to impact social change and drive employee engagement.

A new survey by Green Research reports that employee engagement is one of the top two sustainability trends for 2012. Why? Researchers concluded, “Engaged employees make things happen.” Employees are the internal agents of change and engaged employees work with passion and have a profound connection to their company which ultimately drives innovation and moves the organization forward. By serving the employee and the community, the company is ultimately served.

For more information on the BAHRA Sustainability Conference go to http://www.bahra.org.
