WHAT'S NEW THIS YEAR?
"Songs of Hope and Joy" More than ever folks need see the brighter side this holiday. To help bring the uplift we have invited some special guests from around the region. Of course there will be fresh faces perched on the songwriter seats from our own talented pool, but there will also be a couple ringers, as well...
And this year we're asking that our Artists write to the theme of "Songs of Hope and Joy" - come out and see what they bring us.
TICKETS AVAILABLE ONLINE
This year tickets are truly being offered in advance (available from the Wealthy Theater Website or box office). SAVE A FEW BUCKS by getting your tickets before the concert. [$10 advance, $12 day-of-show].
CONCERT + DINNER (& PARTY)
One of the special offers this year will be a package ticket that includes both the concert AND the after-glow dinner with the artists - yes, they will be singing and making merriment this year! [Dinner & show package: $25 advance, $35 day-of-show]
DVD of AWT (...2007 that is)
This year Wealthy Theatre and GRTV will be offering a DVD of last year's concert (menu, chapters and all). Available at the theater - pick up a copy up (along with some artist CDs) and help support the theater and GRTV too. (We'll be recording a DVD this year too...) Listen and watch the drama as they artists unveil their new songs. And you might even see youself in an audience shot...

NOVEMBER 2008:
Downloadable songs from A Winter's Tune ARE NOW AVAILABLE at
OctoberDay.com!
Over the next months, Octoberday.com will concentrate on posting songs that can be enjoyed over the span of a Wintertime. We will hand pick the best recordings from the archive, add a few new ones, and post as many as we can, as soon as we can.
Many fans have enquired about the "Special Assignment" songs performed by Jimmie Stagger and Bruce Zeeuw (with Lauran Bittinger on accordion).
Due to recording issues, the "Special Assignment" segment was "not a good listen," so we rounded up the crew and they magnetized a rocking "live in the studio" session a couple nights later.
Look for both Jimmie's song "Get Back Home Again" (with Lauran Bittinger on accordion, just like at The Wealthy) and "Frost on the Firelight" (with lyric by Frank Salamone / music by Maestro Zeeuw) to appear in 2008.
Thanks for listening!
=J. Oscar
