for MOTOWN FUNK/R&B LEGENDS

'THE COMMODORES'

One of the greatest Motown and R&B / funk artists of all time, The Commodores’ Walter “Clyde” Orange, James Dean “JD” Nicholas and William “WAK” King have influenced both artists young and old and in all genres with their classic songs. The Commodores brand is bigger than ever as they continue to blaze trails all over the world.

Two Alabama cities recently honored the music legacy of the Commodores! Tuskegee declared Friday March 29, 2019 to be Commodores Day, and Montgomery declared the band members to be honorary residents, receiving keys to the city!

A celebration was held at the Commodore Museum, the site of the Commodores’ former rehearsal and recording studio in Tuskegee. The Commodores was originally formed by a group of college students at Tuskegee Institute just over 50 years ago.

“It is really great to see the place where the group was born! It still feels like home 50 years later, to the point where we didn’t want to leave!” – The Commodores

In 1968 the group was formed while all the members were in college at Tuskeegee Institute. After being discovered by Berry Gordy, the Commodores went on to sell over 60 million records for Motown. With hits like “Machine Gun” and “Sail On,” the Commodores became proven artists. For five decades, the Commodores have remained a force in the music industry. The Commodores aren’t just any group. They have staying power. Just like their hit song “Brick House,” the Commodores have created a foundation that just won’t budge.

Don’t miss your chance to feature one of the most successful vocal groups of all time in 2019 and beyond as The Commodores continue to thrill audiences with their Greatest Hits Tour – Live!

JULIET LYONS

Juliet Lyons is a singer, songwriter, and composer for film and television. She is best known for her soaring, emotional vocals in trailers and Trance and New Age music. Described as having “one of the most evocative and ethereal voices I’ve ever heard,” (Lea Ann Fessenden, Caribbean Examiner), her singing was featured on the official trailer for Disney’s 2015 live-action retelling of Cinderella. Her original music has been heard in over 100 television shows on NBC, ABC, CBS, HBO, ABC Family, MTV, VH1, E!, Lifetime, Showtime, Bravo, Discovery, National Geographic, TLC, Cinemax, CMT, etc, and recently in the major motion picture, “Ghost in the Shell.” Prominent vocal placements include credits such as Pretty Little Liars, Vanderpump Rules, Star Falls, The Vineyard, Christmas In The City, and K-Town. 

As a composer, she writes mainly production music for reality TV shows, with a focus on Hip Hop and Tension/Suspense. Her instrumentals have aired thousands of times on television shows including VH1’s “Love and Hip Hop,” MTV’s”Catfish,” E!’s “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” and Discovery’s “Homicide Hunter.” 

In addition to her musical works for film and television, Juliet has recently completed a new solo album called The Light Within – a collection of (mostly) vocal songs created for yoga, healing, and inner peace. Juliet’s experiences and values are the driving forces of the creation of this record. She has seen friends and loved ones experience pain and loss, and she has experienced it personally. The grounding, balancing, and peace-delivering influences of both nature and yoga brought the songs to life. She invites listeners to inward exploration through vocalises and simple mantras. She celebrates the ancient and spiritual vibrations in some of the Indian mantras she has come to learn and love through her experiences of India and Indian culture, courtesy of her husband Rupesh. She uses her voice as an instrument of love and compassion. These are the ingredients of The Light Within.

Juliet’s work has been nominated 9x for Hollywood Music In Media Awards, 2x for Independent Music Awards, she was a 2x finalist and 1x semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition, and was a finalist in the USA Songwriting Competition. She holds two music degrees from UMKC Conservatory of Music, having graduated with honors. She is a member of the Recording Academy, Alliance for Women Film Composers, Society of Composers & Lyricists, and an Indie Collaborative Official Artist.

Through a lifetime of travel and living abroad, Juliet has a deeply embedded global consciousness. Living in Europe as a young child and later growing up amid the cultural diversity and historical riches of New Mexico instilled a hunger to continue expanding her horizons. She has visited nearly 50 countries, and highly values the life-changing experiences of travel. After nearly a decade living and performing in the Caribbean, Juliet has recently relocated to Encinitas, California, along with Rupesh, and dog, Chuckles. Mostly vegan and a dedicated healthy-eating home cook, she is in seventh heaven amid Encinitas’s plethora of health food stores, while still being near a beach

DR. DAVE WHITE

Dr. Dave is a Game-Changing Success Life Coach!

On the court, I’m a Lead NCAA Men’s Basketball Referee. I control the game. I make big calls under pressure. I manage alpha coaches and competitive players. I get it done. 

Off the court, I’m a Success Life Coach. I help others, like you, to get the control, make the calls, manage the pressure, and seize the winning results they want. I inspire the inspired. I champion champions. 

The great Notre Dame Football Coach, Lou Holtz, said, “You have to have talent to win, but you can lose with talent, and that’s where coaching can make the difference.” I trust you’ve got the talent. Experience the coaching difference. 

If you’re ready for the personal and professional advantage that comes from being strengthened, bolstered, and resourced by a seasoned expert, you’ve come to the right place. 

A Success Life Coach is a game-changer! As every great athlete has his coach, every workplace warrior would do well to have his too. Boxers throw more knockouts with an advocate in their corner. Powerlifters bench more weight with a spotter by their side. Fighter pilots win more battles with a wingman on their flank. You’re a workplace warrior; let me ease the load as your armor-bear

Sherry Wilde was born & raised in southwestern Wisconsin and continues to spend the majority of her time there. In 1987 her community experienced a UFO flap that was considered one of the most active in the world.  Over the next 18-24 months, Sherry was forced to accept her involvement in a phenomenon that was totally unknown to her.  

Sherry spent the next several years of her life trying to exonerate the experiences from her mind and did her best to return to a normal life, but when heavy contact started again in late 2009, after several years of relative peace, she could no longer ignore it.

Inexplicably, she found herself writing a book about the encounters as her memory opened up to the past events and the teachings these beings had imparted to her.  Overcoming her fear and learning the truth of her involvement with these ultra-dimensional beings became her life goal.

Following the publication of her book The Forgotten Promise in late 2012, Sherry was poisoned and fell seriously ill, forcing her to curtail all speaking engagements for several years. Recently a documentary was filmed about her life and a major film project is also in the works.  You can find out more, and access her blog posts on her website.
