DEANA CARTER TO PERFORM AT THE VICTORY THEATRE ON JUNE 20TH!

0

Evansville, IN– Drenched in sun-kissed natural beauty both inside and out, Nashville native, Deana Carter, didn’t take a seemingly easy route to stardom, but instead chose to defy the conventional expectations of the typical Nashville artist blueprint and make her own mark. And she did, undeniably taking the industry and fans by storm with her wildly successful multi-platinum international debut “Did I Shave My Legs For This?” more two decades ago. Anchored by the dreamy super hit ” Strawberry Wine”, Carter showcased her own blend of country and retrorock sprinkled with the folksy singer/songwriter qualities that have garnered Deana Carter welldeserved respect and wild acclaim. With EIGHT albums under her belt, Carter explores many subjects commonly shared over a quaint dinner, afternoon coffee or a sunny day hike with a good friend. Her last release of Southern Way of Life was her first dive as Label CEO on her own Little Nugget Records, distributed by Sony/Red. These songs weave through the sometimes rocky terrain of adulthood, including loss of love, relationships on many different levels, trials, tribulations and simply put – life. As always, Instinctively autobiographical, the subject matter mimics the interesting ride of Carter’s own life – so far. The daughter of famed studio guitarist and producer Fred Carter, Jr., Deana grew up exposed to the wide variety of musicians her father worked with, including Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Waylon Jennings, Simon & Garfunkel, Muddy 

Waters, Dolly Parton, and many more. Their strong influence would eventually seep into Deana’s own country-pop style, which reflects qualities that can also be heard in similar artists now, such as Miranda Lambert and reflective of artists like Sheryl Crow. Developing her songwriting skills by trial and error at writer’s nights throughout Nashville, Carter eventually signed a writing deal with Polygram and soon after a record deal with Capitol Records. One of her demo tapes happened to fall into the hands of none other than Willie Nelson, who remembered Deana as a child. Impressed with how she’d grown as a songwriter, Nelson asked Deana to perform along with John Mellencamp, Kris Kristofferson and Neil Young as the only female solo artist to appear at Farm Aid VII in 1994. Her debut album, “Did I Shave My Legs For This?” boasts six songs co-written and with the album co-produced by Carter, was released to strong reviews in late summer 1996. By the end of the year, the record had climbed to the top of both the country and pop charts, quickly achieving multi-platinum status, with 3 number one singles in a row. A “first” for the genre, Deana’s celebrated debut album held this distinction and many ground breaking achievements for more than 5 years and has become one of Country Music’s most treasured classics of the 90’s. “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” followed in late 1998 and in 2001 Carter realized her dream of performing with her dad on an intimate holiday album, aptly titled “Father Christmas.” Making a strong move towards adult pop Carter released “I’m Just a Girl” on Arista Records in 2003, the same year Capitol Records released a Greatest Hits compilation. Follow-ups “The Story of My Life” in 2005 and “The Chain” in 2007 were both released on Vanguard Records. In an effort to pay homage to her musical roots and preserve her legendary father’s label Nugget Records, that famously presented some of the best in country music some 40 years ago, Carter opened her own label, Little Nugget Records, on which her latest album “Southern Way of Life” was released. Carter now divides her time between Los Angeles, Florida and Nashville, writing and producing for both the pop/rock and country markets when not on the road touring or making movies. Her superstar success continues to be evident as the chart topper “You & Tequila”, co-written with Matraca Berg and recorded by Kenny Chesney, was nominated as CMA’s “Song of the Year”, as well as two Grammy nods, notable the coveted “Song of the Year” , and, also, received a nomination as ACM’s “Song of the Year”. You and Tequila received a coveted ‘Songs I Wished I’d Written’ by the NSAI in Nashville, something Deana treasures, coming from her hometown music community. Carter also co-wrote and produced an album for recording artist Audra Mae & the Almighty Sound, while putting the finishing touches on her own “Southern Way of Life.” She has recently held a Governor’s seat on the Grammy Board for the Recording Academy and served on the Producer’s & Engineer’s Wing, The Membership Committee, & held an active voice for Artists & Creators with Advocacy in Washington, D. C. & throughout the last year for Pandemic Relief. Singer, songwriter, producer – Deana Carter continues to defy conventional expectations, making waves as she makes great music, tours, & makes movies

Senior Night set for Wednesday when Aces host Sycamores

Four seniors to be honored

 

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Senior Night is on tap Wednesday when the University of Evansville men’s basketball team plays host to Indiana State at the Ford Center.  Tip is set for 7 p.m. CT with ESPN+ and the Purple Aces Radio Network on the call.  Seniors Gage Bobe, Kenny Strawbridge Jr., Antonio Thomas and Yacine Toumi will be honored before and after the game.

Last Time Out

– Evansville led by a 26-24 score at halftime, but an 11-0 second-half run by Southern Illinois saw them finish with a 63-53 win

– Ben Humrichous led the Purple Aces with 11 points and 7 boards while Antonio Thomas registered 10 points

Reversing the Trend

– Entering the SIU game, Antonio Thomas averaged 2.8 points in the prior four games while shooting 21.4%

– He rebounded against the Salukis with 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting

– Thomas continues to be efficient from the line, connecting on 84.6% of his tries (T-5th in MVC); he has hit 23 of his last 25 tries

– With UE clinging to the lead in the final minute against Bradley, Thomas calmly hit all four of his attempts to clinch the victory

Back at his Best

– Ben Humrichous continues to get better and better since returning to the floor

– He has scored 18+ points in three of the last four games, averaging 17.5 PPG over that time

– Humrichous was 7-of-12 from the field with 6 boards and 6 assists at UIC

– He remains one of the most versatile players in the MVC and the stat rankings are indicative of that: scoring (11th | 15.4 PPG), FG% (9th | 51.6%), 3PT% (2nd | 43.5%), blocks (8th | 1.00/game)

Still Going Strong

– Leading the Purple Aces with 15 points at Murray State, Tanner Cuff continued his recent success

– Cuff has 9+ points in 6 of the last 10 games while averaging 9.0 PPG (90 points) over that span

– In the home win over UIC, he recorded a career-high 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting

– Over the last 12 games, Cuff has 19 assists and 11 turnovers; the 6 games prior saw him post 6 assists and 10 turnovers

Scouting the Opponent

– Indiana State opens the final week of the regular season with a 1-game lead atop the Missouri Valley Conference standings

– The Sycamores are 24-5 overall and stand at 15-3 in conference action

– Isaiah Swope paces ISU with 16.9 points per game with Robbie Avila just behind at 16.7 PPG

– Avila has a team-high 20 blocks and ranks second with 7.0 boards and 103 assists

– Ryan Conwell checks in with 15.8 PPG with Jayson Kent (13.1 PPG) and Julian Larry (10.8 PPG) also recording double figures

– Kent paces the Sycamores with 8.2 rebounds per game

Mayor Stephanie Terry today announced that Sarah Dauer will join her team as the city’s Corporation Counsel.

0

A native of Evansville, Dauer attended Dexter Elementary, Washington Middle, and Memorial High School. She received her bachelor’s degree at the University of Kentucky and her law degree from the University of Tulsa.

Since moving back to Evansville, Sarah served as In-House Counsel at Shoe Carnival for 8 years and later as Associate Counsel at Reckitt. She cares deeply about Evansville and the overall welfare of its citizens, animals and environment, and has served on various community and civic boards including YMCA, Holly’s House, Ark Crisis Child Care Center, Leadership Evansville and the Board of Parks Commissioners.

Her first day with the city will be Monday, March 4.

 “I’m thrilled to advocate for Evansville and to work in the Terry Administration,” Dauer said.

Her hiring represents a departure from the city’s legal structure under recent administrations, in which an external corporation counsel had the ability to delegate legal work as he or she saw fit. Earlier this month, Mayor Terry indicated that her administration would instead hire an in-house Corporation Counsel, a structure used by cities like Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Bloomington.

“As Corporation Counsel, Sarah Dauer will be an integral part of our full-time team,” Mayor Terry said. “By having her in the Civic Center with us every day, and with her sole focus being the legal needs of the city, both my office and our city department heads will have constant contact and access to  counsel.

“Sarah brings a deep set of legal expertise and will guide Evansville through the process of forming its in-house legal team.  I am grateful to have a fresh legal perspective to help us move forward as a city. I want to thank Marco Delucio of Ziemer, Stayman, Weitzel & Shoulders LLP for his years of service representing Evansville as our contracted City Attorney.”

This does not, however, mean that the City of Evansville would end its relationship with all outside firms. Outside counsel will still be used for subject matter expertise and bid work on an as-needed basis.

Aces track and field complete indoor season at MVC Indoor Championships

The Purple Aces had one program record broken on Monday

CHICAGO – The University of Evansville track and field team set a new program record in the men’s 4×400 relay on the final day of the MVC Indoor Championships.

A program record, a personal record, and a fourth-place finish were the highlights for the Purple Aces on the second day of the MVC Indoor Championships. The men’s 4×400 relay team of Raymond Felton III (Houston / Clear Brook HS), Austin Liversgowdy (Florence, Ky. / Cooper HS), Alvaro Monfort (Castile Y Leon, Spain), and Cedrik Flipo (Beloeil, Quebec, Canada) had UE’s highest finish of the day in fourth place. Evansville won its heat and improved on the program record from earlier in the season by over two seconds with a time of 3:17.14.

The women’s 4×400 relay team also had a strong showing on Monday afternoon, coming in just under their program record time at the PNC Bank Bellarmine Classic. The women’s team of Eilen Brenne (Skien, Norway), Nicole Prauchner (Neuhofen an der Ybbs, Austria), Nayla Martin (Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec, Canada), and Kalina Urbaniak (Suchy Las, Poland) finished with a time of 3:59.14 for ninth place.

Prauchner ran in the only finals race that required qualification for the Aces. Prauchner finished seventh in the 800-meter race with a time of 2:14.90. UE had two other runners compete individually on Monday as Samuel Lea (Worchester, England) and Sarah Vanderhoof-Dossett (Franklin, Tenn. / Independence HS) ran the 3000-meter race. Lea ran a 8:42.42 for 25th while Vanderhoof-Dossett ran a 10:41.27 for 26th place.

Evansville’s other personal best on Monday came in the field as senior Brooke Springer (Henderson, Ky. / Henderson Community HS) threw a 10.13 in the women’s shot put. Springer broke her previous best throw by over half a meter and came a hundredth of a meter shy of the program record set by Antonia Lamond in 2023. The Aces also had Zach Dove (Princeton, Ind. / Princeton Community HS) and Jaden Hayes (Huntingburg, Ind. / Southridge HS) in the men’s shot put. Dove threw 14.87 meters for 17th while Hayes threw 13.07 meters and a 21st place finish.

Overall, UE finished in 10th place on both the men’s and the women’s side. The men were 10th of 10 while the women were 10th of 11.

Evansville will have almost a full month off from competition before beginning the outdoor season in March. The Aces first meet of outdoor competition will be on March 22nd and 23rd at the Margret Simmons Invite hosted by Murray State.
