Billy Jonas Workshops, Shows & News


Billy is gearing up for the Rocky Mountain Folk Festival and Song School in Lyons, CO, August 13-20 and the Mountain Stage NewSong Academy in Shepherdstown, WV, August 23-25. There is a fantastic array of folks teaching and performing at both festivals and it is not too late to sign up for the multi-day song writing workshops! He'll finish the August tour on Saturday the 26th with two shows (one family, one adult) at the Sun Theater in Floyd, VA http://www.wintersuninc.net/thesun.

Just Added: Halton Theater in Charlotte, NC double bill with Roger Day

For one afternoon, two of America's top performers are sharing a stage in Charlotte on September 17th for an all-ages sing-along concert at the Halton Theater! Roger Day, like Billy, puts on an amazing family-oriented show.

This is likely to sell out, so get your tickets quickly. Ask about group discounts when you call the Halton Theater box office at 704-330-6534.

Volunteers

We had a great S.M.O.O.V.E. (Spontaneous Movement Orchestra & Open Vocal Ensemble) turnout at Longwood Gardens last month! A special thanks to Kira Sekulow for her administrative help.

Are you detail oriented and fact conscious?
If so, we have the volunteer job for you: we are looking for a good fact checker who will regularly test all of the links for the venue websites.

Is there an upcoming show in your area?
If so, let us know if you are interested in volunteering. In addition to S.M.O.O.V.E. volunteer tasks include (but aren't limited to): staffing the merchandise table, handing out and collecting mailing list/raffle forms, and general help.

Upcoming CDs

Billy will appear on two upcoming CDs. He was commissioned to write, arrange, and workshop a song with "eMBe," the Evergreen Community Charter School Marimba Band in Asheville, NC. Billy has been working with these amazing and talented students on "You Are Not Alone." This new song will appear on a compilation CD to benefit another local school as well as on eMBe's upcoming band CD.

The wonderful Barbara Bailey Hutchison has a new CD in production and is recording Billy's "God Is In"! Check her out http://bbhsings.com/index.html.

Video Project

We love the outtakes at the end of Billy's most recent video, Everybody's in the Band ... and we want new clips for the next video!

If you have a tape of an amateur "Billy Jonas Style" performance by a friend or family member, send it to us via email or snail mail and we may include a clip of it in a future Bang-A-Bucket production!

Please include a note with a little about the contents and the best way to contact you. Is it you? Your kid? Your pet? Let us know!
