Tim Atwood
06/10/2022
06:00 PM
For 30+ years Tim Atwood played for music's elite on the most venerable stage in country music history--The Grand Ole Opry. During that time Tim backed legends and legends-in-the-making including Garth Brooks, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Darius Rucker, Vince Gill, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Jim Ed Brown, Jeannie Seely and Little Jimmy Dickens. Tim's versatility on keys also allowed him the opportunity to play for those outside of the country box, performing with Barry Gibb, Keb Mo, Lisa Marie Presley and Jewel. Beyond the stage Tim continues to be a sought after studio musician in Nashville playing on recordings for some of those very artists with whom he shared the spotlight's fringe--artists who include Dolly Parton, Ray Price, George Jones and Charley Pride. All of the "Opry cool kids" knew Tim could play a piano like there was no tomorrow; and they knew he was a funny guy who could make a story come to life, but in the middle of all the commotion of the stage, it became apparent that Tim could sing...and not simply sing, but sing with heart, soul and emotion. The man is GOOD! Today Tim sits in the middle of the spotlight delivering a high energy, fun-filled romp down memory lane in which Tim shares his experiences as an artist, studio musician and sideman. The audience can expect piano pounding thrills as Tim performs songs from piano greats Mickey Gilley, Billy Joel, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elton John, Ronnie Milsap and Charlie Rich...along with bouts of laughter as he dishes out backstage jokes and stories as only an insider can. Tim also discloses the tender moments he experienced on stage like the love he had for country comedienne Minnie Pearl, and his thoughts about playing keys for the biggest farewell party since Hank Williams--the funeral of George Jones. With a musical arsenal that includes hundreds of selections, Tim can fire off a country song with ease, pull the trigger on a rock and roll favorite, reload with some back water blues and win the day with a trip to the A-men corner. Comedy songs are some of his favorites though, so expect to hear a few of those too, along with a few Tim Atwood originals to keep the show fresh. Whether you book him as a single or with his band, Tim always delivers a great performance. He's an extraordinary musician and a great singer, but he's also FUN and unpredictable. Even he doesn't know what's going to fall out of his mouth at any given moment...but rest assured, if it's a family-friendly venue, then it's a family-friendly pearl of wisdom. Tim Atwood will entertain you!

The creation of University of Louisiana at Monroe professors and writers Dev Hathaway and Herbert Bryant, “Beer and Bards” began in 1984 at Enoch’s, then located on Desiard Street, as an opportunity for ULM faculty and students to read their poems, stories, essays and plays. “It will be great fun to bring the reading series back,” said Jack Heflin, professor of English and co-director of Creative Writing at ULM. “Over the years, we’ve had hundreds of writers participate, many of whom went on to publish significant work, including John Dufresne, Cleopatra Mathis, Paul Lyons, Andy Robbins, Donald Junkins and Doug Stanton, just to name a few.” Heflin is host of the event, and the author of two books of poetry, the most recent Local Hope (The University of Louisiana at Lafayette Press).

New Music on the Bayou Music Festival
06/01/2022
12:00 AM
At the New Music on the Bayou Summer Festival, composers and performers intersect over the course of an intense multi-day, multi-city, multi-venue series of rehearsals, presentations, and concerts. Our goal is to inspire the region with new ideas about music and to inspire composers with the unique landscapes and cultural offerings of north Louisiana. The schedule is designed to create several opportunities for composers to engage with each other, the performers, and our appreciative audiences. An open rehearsal format is utilized to provide greater insight into the music of the festival. By rotating across multiple venues, we aim to bring the music to the people of the community and generate interest and attendance at the concerts and events. This year, over 40 composers have traveled to Northeast Louisiana to hear 9 concerts performed by 30 different performers from across the region and beyond in iconic spaces like Flying Tiger Brewery, Black Bayou National Wildlife Refuge and the campuses of ULM and Louisiana Tech. More info can be found on our website: newmusiconthebayou.com
