Eden Sponsors MusicFest '08

Saturday, November 8th, 2008.
Time: All Day Event
Location: Rio Linda High School, Rio Linda, CA

In addition to holding down the bottom for Crash the Machine, endorser Craig Murray also oversees Rio Linda High School's "Rock Music" program, which includes live bands and digital composition. This year, he will offer the first annual MusicFest '08, a state-wide music competition at the high school level. As part of its sponsorship of the event, US Music Corp. is providing prize packages (amps, of course) for the top three live bands. In addition, Deeper Blues -- featuring Eden Special Projects Coordinator Lane Baldwin, Randall endorser Gary Jones, and drummer James Jones -- will be on-hand to serve as judges of the event, offer individual clinics during the lunch break, and appear as featured guests for the evening awards concert. Other activities for the weekend include a Friday presentation on Music History (Blues: Its History, and Its Relevance Today) to RLHS students, an appearance at the Friday night concert to raise funds for their music department, and a Sunday appearance at Sacramento Foodstock, a benefit for local food pantries, based on the original Danville Foodstock produced by Deeper Blues. Keep an eye here and on Lane's blog for further details.

Join Eden's Special Projects Coordinator Lane Baldwin and his band Deeper Blues, for an evening of fun, music and more, as they present information on Eden, Randall and Washburn products, and hand-out armloads of swag!

A long-term Eden endorser, Lane now serves as our Special Projects Coordinator and Artist Relations rep. He is also the bassist, vocalist and leader of Deeper Blues, an all-original Blues trio. Guitarist Gary Jones is a Randall and Washburn endorser with twenty-five years of touring and recording to his credit. The band's new CD, Dig the Hole, features thirteen cuts of the raw, emotionally charged Blues (everything from porch "shout-outs" to Power Blues), that legend Johnny B. Gayden calls "the best new Blues out there." Dave Hufstedler, Bass department manager for Alpha Music (VA Beach, VA) said of Lane's presentation, "Lane was awesome! Everyone was spell-bound with his performance ... our best [Bass Club] meeting so far. ... a total inspiration and very educational.". For more on Deeper Blues, see their web site and MySpace page.

Lane will present the Eden line of amps, while Vince, an amazing solo instrumental guitarist, shows off Randall rigs. Vince and Lane will be performing together for the first time and, as always, they'll have a bag o' swag for giveaways.

About Vince: With twenty years of recording, performing, teaching, and clinic presentations under his belt, Vince definitely has the skills to get the job done. His instrumental compositions are led by searing melodic technique and passionate, fiery leads through mature song-oriented hooks and progressions. Vince combines straightforward lead guitar with a showman's flair to create a dynamic on-stage presence. Currently he is working on his own full length Instrumental CD while maintaining a full teaching schedule, doing studio sessions for others, and holding guitar clinics for Randall MTS Series Amplifiers and Parker Guitars. Whether teaching, recording or performing Vince has a blast doing what he loves most."It's all about fun and the love of music. I'm grateful to be able to do what I love!"

The show's format will be loose and informal. "Basically, we're going to hang out with a bunch of our friends and let the world listen in," said Abe, bassist with Cold Truth and Dan Shafer's Rock & Load Show." It'll be like sitting on the couch with us."

As we speak, Empire Productions is finalizing hundreds of details to bring bassists as much fun, music and education as possible in a four-hour time block. "The hardest part," said co-host Lane Baldwin, "is deciding which segments to do weekly and which to do on a rotating basis. We've got so many things to offer and they're all going to be a blast."

Companion web and MySpace sites have been secured, and will launched soon. Keep an eye here and RealityRadio.biz for details!

Singer/Songwriter Dan Shafer and his band (including endorser Abe White) play host to Nashville's hottest Rock & Roll acts every Wednesday night at Code Blue.
