R&B POWERHOUSE JAHEIM AND CHRISETTE MICHELE
EMBARK ON THE “APPRECIATION TOUR” THIS FALL –

These two have built a catalogue of hits that ensure a soulful, power-packed show.

Thursday, November 14, 2013 – 7:30 PM\
Aronoff Center – Procter & Gamble Hall

New York, NY – Jaheim and Chrisette Michelle bring their “Appreciation Tour” to Cincinnati’s Aronoff Center on Thursday, November 14 at 7:30 PM for one night only. Tickets go on sale Friday, October 4, 10:00 AM at www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office.

“Timeless,” “Classic,” and “A Return To Real R&B” are just a few of the phrases used to describe singer/songwriter Jaheim’s latest release Appreciation Day. Having established himself in the landscape of the music industry, fans and critics alike have come to expect a solid body of work from the seasoned vet. And, Appreciation Day does not disappoint. Selling almost 60, 000 copies worldwide in its first week, the album landed on the Billboard charts at #3 Urban/#6 overall. Currently available via iTunes, (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/appreciation-day/id684566446), this album taps into the timeless tales of love, loss and the overcoming of life’s obstacles. Fans flock to Jaheim’s facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/officialjaheim) raving about each song.

The album’s first single,“Age Ain’t A Factor,”boasted the well-received message of celebrating the beauty of women at every age and enjoyed #1 charting success. The video, shot by famed photographer turned video director Derek Blanks, enlisted the help of ageless beauties: Lisa Raye, Vivica Fox and Cynthia Bailey (see the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvNVAd4WrYU). The visual for the fan favorite “Baby 3Xs” features both Cynthia Bailey and her husband Peter Thomas of the hit show, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” This exciting three-part trilogy drips of sexiness, intrigue, and an age-old tale of temptation, premiering today with The YBF.Com.

With titles like“Blame Me,” “I Found You,” “Shower Scene,” and the official second single “He Don’t Exist,” this album promises yet another staple in Jaheim’s repertoire. No stranger to personal loss and struggle, Jaheim promised to make Appreciation Day more than just the name of an album, but an invitation for him and his fans to show those that mean the most to them how much they care. With that, he has completed a series of fan appreciations over the past few months. Starting with Mother’s Day and continuing through release day, Jaheim surprises fans with contests, trips, and giveaways. All of these can be seen on his website: http://www.jaheimmusic.com/blog

After a long hiatus, the super crooner is back by popular demand. When asked about his return, Jaheim mentioned that he’s anxious to get back to his fans: “It’s been so long since I’ve had a chance to create music from my heart for the fans that have loved and supported me from the start. I decided to call the project Appreciation Day because that’s exactly what this album is, my show of appreciation to them”.

WMKV 89.3FM and WLHS 89.9FM present
THE TOMMY DORSEY ORCHESTRA
Wednesday, October 30, 2013, 7-10pm
at the Music Hall Ballroom
to Benefit Public Radio

CINCINNATI, OH – Classic big band music returns to one of its true Cincinnati homes on October 30, 2013 from 7-10pm as WMKV 89.3FM and WLHS 89.9FM bring The One and Only Tommy Dorsey Orchestra to the Music Hall Ballroom. The event will be a concert and dance with a large open dance floor.

Tickets are $30 per person and are on sale now at www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], or at the Aronoff Center and Music Hall Ticket Offices. Discount parking is available for $3 for the October 30 event.

“We’re excited to bring this unique music to an historic location,” says WMKV Development Director Bob Hanneken, “Our goal is to preserve big band music, and if this has good attendance, there are some other big bands we’d love to bring in.”

The One and Only Tommy Dorsey Orchestra is the national touring big band that travels the U.S. They are appearing for the three-hour concert and dance to benefit public radio WMKV 89.3FM, which is simulcast on 89.9FM WLHS. The stations offer big bands and standards, plus classic radio shows, and talk for seniors and families.

This is WMKV’s first effort to bring a big band to the Music Hall Ballroom. WMKV and WLHS have continued to present national touring orchestras, including the Glenn Miller Orchestra, the Harry James Orchestra, and the Artie Shaw Orchestra, in recent years. The larger venue can accommodate enough audience so that WMKV can entertain the notion of bringing in possible future concerts with the Duke Ellington and Count Basie Orchestras.

“This has been a great home for so many music events over the years, it’s a natural fit,” adds WMKV Station Director George Zahn, “This is classic big band music in a classic venue.”

WMKV is an independent public radio station in Cincinnati, Ohio, celebrating its 18th year of operation and the only station in the country owned by a continuous care retirement community (CCRC), Maple Knoll Village, and serves as a mission-oriented feature of parent Maple Knoll Communities, Inc. The station has carved a niche as a local broadcast and worldwide-streaming audio leader for nostalgia, including music (now oldies, standards, and big bands), classic radio comedy and drama, and information programs. The station can be heard at 89.3FM (now also simulcast on 89.9FM WLHS in Butler and Warren Counties) and streams audio worldwide 24/7 at www.wmkvfm.org.

The 22,000 square-foot Music Hall Ballroom is Cincinnati’s largest event room outside of those in the Duke Energy Convention Center in downtown Cincinnati. When it opened in January of 1928 on the second floor of the south wing of Music Hall, it quickly became the place to socialize and celebrate events and has hosted countless concerts, dances, and celebrations. Renovated in 1998, the Music Hall Ballroom features many art deco fixtures from the old RKO Albee, and now also hosts a Mighty Wurlitzer Organ which was once housed in the RKO Albee and later in the Emery Theatre.

CINCINNATI, OH –­­ Direct from Ireland, The Priests – the acclaimed tenor trio of Fathers Martin O’Hagan, Eugene O’Hagan, and David Delargy – bring an unforgettable evening of music for the whole family to the Aronoff Center’s Procter & Gamble Hall for one night only on Tuesday, November 19, 2013 at 7:30 PM. The concert is presented by the Cincinnati Arts Association as part of its 2013-14 Season.

Tickets are on sale now at www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office. Group discount tickets for 10 or more are available by calling (513) 369-4363.

When The Priests released their eponymously-titled album in 2008, they could have had little inkling of what was about to happen to them. As it transpired, plenty did – huge record sales, record-breaking triumphs, and global fame.

Which means that now, five years later, Fathers Martin O’Hagan, Eugene O’Hagan, and David Delargy are among the most recognized and successful tenor trios in both the religious and secular worlds. Their debut album sold at such a fast pace, it secured them a place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest-selling classical debut ever.

They fascinated the global media and graced the pages of all manner of publications, including Time magazine, and shared sofa space with TV hosts the world over. They have sung to audiences that include the British Royal Family and the Irish President. They were nominated for Classical Brit Awards for Classical Album of the Year for three consecutive years, and in September 2010, The Priests shared a stage with Pope Benedict XIV before a crowd of 80,000 people in London’s Hyde Park. Millions more watched on television.

In 2011, they wanted to spend more time in their parishes. There were a sprinkling of concerts in Europe, and their Christmas with The Priests concerts in Ireland were a huge success. Towards the end of 2011, The Priests were approached by a screenwriter who asked if he could write the story of their musical lives and turn it into a film. Raising the Roof is currently in pre-production and is set for release in late 2014.
