Teddy Shabba has been advocate ing men attract and date females in an empowering way for over 5 years now.

He’s a daily newsletter that will provide you with a wealth of information on how to be more successful with females.

Please accept the information below as a  persuade offer ing suggestions for publicizing a performance and  encourage  maximum attendance and success! Some of the recommendations might not be appropriate for your type of performance. While some of the ideas may be apparent, others may be new but worthy of a try.

I will cover the facets of flyer/poster concert promotion and a few suggestions for media promotion.. 1st ly, the single the majority important thing when you want to  encourage  a concert is to start delegating duties and make sure endorse ers know what’s expected of them.

So let’s start!

Flyers and Posters -  It is important to have a well designed, eye-catching flyer or poster. It will show individuals that the concert deserves their anticipation, time and money.

The  artist’s  management might offer you with some flyers or posters to start with. If you like to produce your own flyer or poster, you ought to find a graphics professional or pronting company willing to give services in ex differ for advertising.

If it is the first time the artist is coming to your town or city be sure to include a testimonial on the flyer or poster. A flyer that simple advertises an artist or a performer will mean little to someone who has never heard of them!

Assign volunteers to post the flyers in places like ly to attract the the majority attention. Try grocery stores, Local chamber of Commerce offices, Art Councils or other communities, malls, shoping plazas, music stores, book stores, galleries and other popular gathering spots where flyers are displayed routinely but be sure to ask for permission before posting.

Don’t forget to post the flyers or posters to the concert location itself! Try to hang posters as close to the average eye level as possible. [Media and other sources of publicity] List the concert in community calendars, Newspaper, Magazines or radio and TV stations if possible. Radio and TV stations can be willing to anounce parties for free.

Be sure to notice them many weeks in advance. In the listing include the date of the performance, time, location, ticket price, ticket outlets, sponsors of course and phone numbers for information.

Ask promotional material from the  artist’s managements like interviews, video clips, song samples, photographs etc. Try to deliver the material to the media along with the news release anouncing the performance.

Make sure you follow up by phone. Ask from the management to arrange an interview with the artist(s) if possible. Discuss other possibilities.

Offer  performer’s  promo material (if available) to radio stations like ly to air it.  encourage  them to play it generally especially a week or two before the performance. Have volunteers and companions telephone the stations and request more!

If you’re using an answering machine make a recording using sound clips from the artist. Advertise the phone numbers available to call in newspapaer or on the radio. Include a short message in the recordings detailing concert info.

When you’re Web, subscribe to any music-related newsgroups or bulletin boards. Post messages about your anticipation, plans and later, show specific information! Of course if you own a web site, think about creating a special area to advertise the concert with a hot-link to the  musician’s home page (if any).

Ask from the media to co-sponsor (sharing in work or re Clubs) or to endorse the performance for publicity purposes. Assuming that they say ‘YES’ then make sure you include a ‘..co-sponsored by..’ message in the flyers and other promotional material..

The Jonas Brothers, Kevin, Joe and Nick, are a United States rock band with a growing and eminently vocal teenage girl fan base. After a sold-out spring United States tour, the Jonas Bros have recently announced another concert tour for the summer of 2008.

Dubbed the Burning Up Summer Tour, the Jonas brothers will performance over 35 shows in June and July hitting NY, NJ, PA, CT and many other performance Venues. If you want tickets to see the performer live, the optimum way to get tickets to a performance is to join the Jonas Brothers official fan club. With a fan club purchase you will get a code that you enter into Ticketmaster that will let you purchase up to 4 tickets during the tour.

You must also pay for the tickets at Ticketmaster, the tickets are not free if you join the fan venue. also, just because you join the fan venue and get a code doesn’t guarantee you tickets, you still must compete on the Ticketmaster Website with thousands of other dedicated listeners. Exclusive Presale Tickets will be available beginning Tuesday, March 25th and are sure to sell out faster than Hannah Montana performance tickets.

furthermore, the fan club is the only way to meet the Jonas Brothers backstage. That is not all the boys have been up to. The Jonas Brothers will be decidedly busy this year touring and promoting their new CD  and their new Disney movie Camp Rock. The brothers have furthermore just announced a new reality TV series Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream in addition to a Disney TV series due to begin filming whenever they could find the time.

The ” best of Both Worlds Tour” kicks off on October 18th. Already, 54 tour dates have been session for this tour. There is only one problem with seeing Hanna Montana Live and in Concert-all 54 dates across the country are sold out.

AEG Live is the  promoter for the tour. AEG was totally astounded at the response for tickets, which sold out Venues in as little as 8 minutes. The  promoter capped ticket prices at $65.00 each and a 4 ticket minimum was needed to regulate sales.

Miley Cyrus plays a high school student in the Disney series Hannah Montana. In the series, she plays a high school student whose life, as a famous pop star is a secret. Her father Billy Ray Cyrus doubles as her father in the series. The Hannah Montana show reaches over 5 million viewers each week.

If you are intent on seeing the Hannah Montana live and in performance in the ” best of Both Worlds Tour” tickets can be found from scalpers-and nowhere else. A word of caution is needed here though. Be prepared for “ticket shock” since scalpers are asking $100.00 – $200.00 per ticket. In fact the average going price for this sold out performance is around $215.00. One dedicated fan paid over $2000.00 for one ticket in Charlotte, N.C. Parents across the U.S. are outraged and a lot of complaints have been filed both with the producers and Regional and state governments. Unfortunately, it’s highly un like ly that ticket prices will come down.

Almost every ‘tween girl prefers Hanna Montana and would love to be up on stage with her. Her character portrays an image that every girl dreams about. The only problem is that seeing Hannah Montana live and in concert is going to strain even the parents’ pocket book of her the majority dedicated listeners.

In this article we’re going to briefly review one of the the majority touching performances that has been ever held for another person, The Concert For George.

There are incredibly few individuals in history who you could mention their 1st name, say the word concert and know exactly who that concert was for. The Concert For George was one of those concert s. George of course being the late George Harrison of the Beatles.

George Harrison died of brain cancer on November 29, 2001. One year later the memorial performance for this excellent musician has been held at the Royal Albert Hall in London. It’s only fitting that this has been the place as Harrison has been 100 % English from the top of his head to the suggestions of his magical guitar fingers.  Many feel he has been the overlooked Beatle. Everything has been about John and Paul. But the majority critics feel that George Harrison has been the heart and soul of the Beatle’s guitar sound which has since be copied by so a lot of musicians.

The idea for the performance has been George’s wonderful friend Eric Clapton’s. Clapton and Harrison had actually been companions for a long time and 1st played together on the White Album. The song, of course, has been “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” Clapton put together a memorial that Harrison himself would have smiled at.

The performance began with the daughter of one of Harrison’s excellent companions, Ravi Shankar, singing “Your Eyes.” After this song the daughter, who’s name is Anoushka, teamed with another one of Harrison’s companions, Jeff Lynne of ELO fame, to sing “The Inner Light” which was one of George Harrison’s own tunes.

The performance itself was a mixture of music and comedy, which is very unusual for a performance. The comedy was handled mostly by the ensemble of Monty Python who, along with Tom Hanks, performed “Sit On My Face” and “The Lumberjack Song” which was one of Monty Python’s funniest and the majority famous tunes.

The rest of the concert featured more of George’s friends and the remaining members of the Beatles, Paul and Ringo. additionally there were Tom Petty, Billy Preston, and Gary Brooker from Procal Harem. George’s son Dhani has been additionally on hand. If you watch the video of the concert you would swear that Dhani has been George Harrison if you didn’t know better.

The remainder of the performance featured mostly songs that were either done by The Beatles or songs that George had done solo or with other performers such as when he was with Tom Petty during his stint with The Traveling Willburys.

The tunes are a who’s who of some of the greatest tunes these individuals ever did together or separately. They included such classics as George’s signature song “Something,” the Beatles’ prefer “Is not It A Pity,” “Here Comes The Sun,” a Ringo tune that George played on, “Photograph,” “All Things Must Pass,” “My Sweet Lord,” and finishing with “I willSee You In My Dreams,” which has been an appropriate ending for the performance.

The reality of depression and suicide has inspired artists to take part in the PICK UP THE PHONE TOUR, a music tour committed to reducing the stigma associated with mental health as well as making the access to help and hope for all safe and without fear.

Houston-based art rockers Blue October will headline the inaugural PICK UP THE PHONE TOUR–where impassioned artists join together to raise awareness and funds for depression and suicide prevention–and Atlanta-based hip-hop artist and producer B.o.B will open on the trek.

Justin Furstenfeld, the lead singer of Blue October, will be on hand to speak and perform an acoustic set before members of Congress as well as supporters of the tour partners 1-800 SUICIDE, PostSecret and TWLOHA.

Justin–who has struggled with bi-polar disorder most of his life–will be calling on Congress to fund both creative writing and art therapy programs as alternative options for mental health. The press conference will also urge Congress to fully fund the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act which provides the funding behind the majority of the suicide prevention programs in the United States today. The press conference is open to all on a first-come first-served basis, to RSVP, email TWLOHA: PUTP@TWLOHA.com.

The PICK UP THE PHONE TOUR is created through a partnership between the non-profit organization To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA), the largest charity on MySpace and Facebook: Postsecret.com; Synclive.com; and 1-800 SUICIDE The National Hopeline Network.

Through 1-800 SUICIDE–which provides a life-saving service that is private and confidential for people in need–callers are routed directly to the closest crisis center in their immediate area so that quick referrals to behavioral health services and other supports can be offered. Since 1998, 1-800-SUICIDE has received over 3.6 million calls and rescued more than 4,000 individuals who had already initiated suicide plans.

The spokesperson for the PICK UP THE PHONE TOUR 2009, Justin Furstenfeld personally understands the struggles those who are affected by mental health issues face on a daily basis. “It has taken 20 years to have the chance to do a tour focusing on mental health issues which have been a daily battle for me for most of my life,” explains Justin.

“It’s great to finally be a part of a positive, progressive-thinking tour for an important cause which will make a direct impact and help people in desperate situations that need it the most.” In a strange turn of events in his own life, Justin worked at a mental hospital one day and, after suffering a breakdown, became a patient in a hospital the next.

Justin–who has taken medication for the condition since he was a teenager–now teaches creative writing at a mental hospital to young adults affected by mental health issues, self-abuse issues and sexual abuse. Through personal experiences and music, Justin challenges young minds to channel their emotions and anger into creative writing and art versus taking their frustrations out on themselves or the world around them.

He performs his art around the world, sending a message of hope to thousands who know and trust his message because he fights the same battles they fight every day. Justin is living proof that if you reach out and allow yourself to be helped you can lead a beautiful life filled with love, family and career.

“In moments of bravery and confusion and honesty, people turn to 1-800-SUICIDE–over three million of them,” points out Jamie Tworkowski, founder of To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA).

“The folks at the Hopeline Centers have been answering those calls for ten years, picking up the phone when it’s mattered most. Now to help those who will not pick up the phone, together with 1-800-SUICIDE we are launching the first 24×7 online emotional support network called AliveIM!, which will soon be available at www.suicide.net.”

To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA)–a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide–exists to encourage, inform and inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery.

Synclive.com will create an essential connection for concertgoers in crisis who are unable to approach a booth at the show in-person either for direct help or to volunteer for the online counseling program.

About To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA):

In 2006, Jamie Tworkowski wrote a story, a glimpse into a friend’s life and her first steps to recovery from drug addiction, self-injury, and depression. The story, titled To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA), and t-shirts Tworkowski printed to help pay for his friend’s recovery, started a movement, not only within his local Orlando, FL community, but one that was swiftly embraced by people everywhere.

Realizing a strong need to bring these mental health issues to light, Jamie created TWLOHA–a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide–and enlisted bands such as Paramore, Thrice, Anberlin, Switchfoot, Bayside, The Almost to spread TWLOHA’s message.

Jamie and TWLOHA joined national and international touring bands spreading their message of hope before bands took the stage each night. In August 2007, MySpace awarded TWLOHA the winner of their “Impact Award” for “Community Building,” TWLOHA garnered the most votes in the history of the Impact Awards.

To Write Love on Her Arms began with one broken girl, one painful night; addiction, depression, self-injury. It is the realization of what life can be when people commit to meeting a need. “A friend of mine told me there is no such thing as suicide prevention. This is an attempt to prove him wrong, to say that love can change a life. We can hold back the darkness. Rescue is possible,” says Tworkowski. www.twloha.com

Hearing Neil Again

I heard about the Neil Diamond performance coming to Charlotte on December 12. I became excited and tried to buy tickets. After several hours on the Web, I realized this was going to be a treat reserved for those who may afford to pay the scavenger’s exorbitant prices for the tickets. Not that Neil is not benefit it, I just cannot afford it. Thus, my moodiness tonight. I want to hear Neil in person one last time, and cannot.

Loving Neil has been a lifetime joy of mine. He captured my heart in the 60’s with “Cherry, Cherry” and later with “Song Sung Blue” and “Stones”, and a lot of others. I saw him in performance in Charlotte in 1977. After the performance, I drove behind the coliseum, saw a bus, thought it was his and chased it all over Charlotte at high rates of speed until I lost track and was forced to go home. I honestly thought I would follow this bus to it’s destination upon which Neil would depart and walk into my arms to stay forever. I was 29 years old then.

I’m 61 now, and still have that fantasy…someday I will take Neil into my arms and convey my absolute appreciation of his talent and sensitivity. His tunes guided me through years of self-discovery, new motherhood, loss of love, and finally rediscovering myself. Regardless of my mood, Neil’s music can take me there. I nursed my babies in the wee hours of the morning to the sound of Neil, I loved my husband in the wee hours with the echoes of Neil’s music in my head, I endured my boring jobs with the beat of Neil’s music in my limbs yearning to dance, to express, to feel his words with motion. Neil always had a song that would relate to whatever has been going on with my life. I need to let him know it. I need to go to this concert. It will probably be by final opening .

The concert is a extensive deal to me. It is could a extensive deal to Neil. We’re both getting older, both needing to justify our years, both needing to be appreciated, both needing to feel that we will be remember ed. He will be remember ed for his skill, but will I be remember ed as the the dedicated, lifelong fan?

Barry manilow is perfect known American singer and tunes writer, he started singing at the age of 13. Singer and piano player Barry Manilow has been one of the biggest pop music hitmakers of the 1970s. He attended the Julliard School of Music and then began working as a pianist (and later music director) for singer Bette Midler. Early in his career he has been a jingle writer and singer, writing the theme for state farm insurance and he worked has a pianist, producer and arranger, his major solo hits include Mandy, Copacabana. He wrote hundreds of tunes and won Grammy, Emmy and Tony awards and an Oscar nomination along the way. He signed with bell records and released his debut solo album.

Barry Manilow has long been a help er of charitable and humanitarian quests around the world, in addition to his foundations, the manilow funds for Health and hope, his altruistic involvement includes the prince’s trust, united way, starlight foundation and a lot of more.

In terms of both record sales and career longevity, Barry Manilow is one of the the majority successful adult contemporary singers ever. That success hasn’t necessarily translated to respect (or even ironic hipster appreciation) in the majority quarters; Manilow’s music has been much maligned by critics and fans a like, particularly the romantic ballads that made his career, which were derided as maudlin schlock even during his heyday. It is true that Manilow’s taste for swelling choruses and lush arrangements generally bordered on bombastic, but un like a lot of of his MOR peers, Manilow was not aiming to make smooth, restrained background music — he conceived of himself as a pop entertainer and all-around showman in the classic mold, and his gigs and stage shows were accordingly theatrical.

Albums of Barry include:

1. Barry Manilow Greatest Hits

2. One Voice

3. Oh Julie

4. Here Comes the Night

5. Swing Street

Hit Singles by Barry Manilow:

1. might It Be Magic
