Jason Wilber Perform At Doss Barn.

0
Summer’s coming to a close and it’s time for some music in the Barn!  On Saturday, September 1st, we are very fortunate to have the talented Jason Wilber perform in the Doss Barn.  We are grateful that Jason returns to our humble venue to share his songwriting and musicianship.  They say that everyone is within six degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon… Thanks to Jason, the Doss Barn is just one degree away from Carnegie Hall, Austin City Limits, and Red Rocks Amphitheater! This show will likely fill up quickly.Jason is a nationally acclaimed performer and songwriter, having recently been profiled by Rolling Stone magazine.  He’s collaborated with Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Todd Snider, Susan Tedeschi, and others, and he has shared the stage or studio with Iris Dement, Sheryl Crow, Todd Snider, Hal Ketchum, Tim Grimm, Carrie Newcomer, and many others.  His two-decade-long gig as lead guitarist and musical director for John Prine is a testament to his talent and abilities.  We are proud to call him an Indiana Boy, and even prouder that he will share his songs at the Doss Barn.

You should check out Jason Wilber at http://jasonwilber.com/. And…you can “like” Doss Barn Concerts on Facebook.  That will provide another avenue for you to hear about shows in the barn in case I screw up the email list!The show will begin between 7:30 – 8:00 PM, and we request a minimum $15 donation at the barn door, 100% of which goes to the artist.  Please reserve seats by responding to this email as soon as possible.  By responding and attending this show, you are accepting any risks associated with an evening in the barn. If you need directions, just ask.Please arrive AFTER 6:30 PM (but before 7:30), and carpool if possible–that will help “Parking lot boy,” and you know who that is!  If you care to bring a dish of finger food to share, and your beverage of choice, please do so, we’ll have a place for food and libations.  We will provide some straw bale-wooden bench seating and a limited space to accommodate some personal chairs.

Kids are welcome to come, and they can either sit and watch the great show, or there will be places to play.  All we ask is that you let us know if your kids will join you, if they will be taking a space in the barn, and that parents or guardians are responsible for their own kids.

Again, for more on Jason, check out http://jasonwilber.com/. Let us know right away if you would like to reserve a seat, and we sure do hope to see you on Saturday the 1st of September…for Jason Wilber…at the Doss Barn!

Peace–Paul, Heidi, and David Doss.

Please forward this announcement to your friends who might enjoy an evening of great music and company at the Doss Barn–just make sure they reply by email to reserve seats!

 

CORTEO, ONE OF THE BEST-LOVED CIRQUE DU SOLEIL PRODUCTIONS, IS COMING TO EVANSVILLE WITH ITS NORTH AMERICAN ARENA TOUR

0

At the Ford Center From January 23 to 27, 2019

Tickets on pre-sale exclusively to Cirque Club members today General on-sale begins August 17, 2018

Advance tickets for Corteo are available now online to Cirque Club members. Cirque Club membership is free and benefits includes access to advance tickets, special offers and exclusive behind the scenes information. To join, go to www.cirqueclub.com.

Tickets will be available to the public as of August 17 at 10 am at cirquedusoleil.com/corteo.

Corteo, which means cortege in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. The show brings together the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat to plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth.

The clown pictures his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere, watched over by quietly caring angels. Juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection, the show highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the portion of humanity that is within each of us. The music turns lyrical and playful carrying Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality.

The concept and disposition of the stage bring the audience in a theatrical atmosphere like never seen before in Cirque du Soleil arena shows. The set curtains, inspired by the Eiffel Tower, and the central curtains, which were hand painted, give a grandiose feel to the stage. This sets the tone for the poetry of Corteo.

The cast of Corteo includes 51 acrobats, musicians, singers and actors from all around the world.Sponsor

JUST IN: City Council Approves $2.76 Million For LST Relocation

City Council Approves $2.76 Million For LST Relocation

UPDATE:
The Evansville City Council approves funding for the relocation of the LST 325. It passed 8 to 1. The $2.76 million will help move the warship from Marina Pointe to the old Tropicana location.

Below is how the council voted on the LST relocation funding:

  • Mercer: Yes
  • Elpers: Yes
  • Mosby: No
  • Weaver: Yes
  • Brinkmeyer: Yes
  • Adams: Yes
  • Robinson: Yes
  • McGinn: Yes
  • Hayden: Yes

Original story:
Evansville was best known during World War II for its production of landing ship tanks or LST’s. One of the last running LST’s has been docked at Marina Pointe harbor since 2005 but that might all be changing soon.

There have been talks for at least six years about moving the LST 325 to a more visible position but talks really heated up when the Tropicana Riverboat sailed away for good.

Fundraising at that point to move the LST 325 across from Tropicana was has kicked into gear during this past year, Tropicana has even donated $1 million to the cause.

It would take millions of dollars to move the ship, create a new dock and a bigger visitor’s center across from the Tropicana.

The last phase of fundraising could end Monday night if the City Council approves a motion to move nearly $3 million from the riverboat fund to the LST Memorial Group. Moving the ship to a more prominent spot could have lasting effects.

When asked, John Tallent said he is confident in the City Council to do what’s in the best interest of the city but of course he is for the moving of the ship.

Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke and his deputy Mayor Steve Schaffer have been tweeting all day in support of moving this big boat.
