Guest Biography:

“When asked what motivates her, Cecilia thoughtfully answers …

“When words are not enough,

music goes deep into the soul

and can transform

a seemingly hopeless situation.

Why can’t we all just get along?

We’re from One family called humanity.

Isn’t that enough?”

Endorsed by the

United Nations and the

M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence,

Cecilia St. King is a charismatic

Peace Troubadour

who performs original songs

with positive spiritual messages.

Translating her esoteric studies of

The Ageless Wisdom Teachings into song,

she wraps captivating vocals around Philosophy.

Blending American roots music, that merges rock, BLUES, folk,

spirituals and just a hint of Jazz, her concerts offer a

powerful antidote to turmoil in our current times.

As a Peace Troubadour, Cecilia

has brought sheer joy to audiences in

America, Europe, Japan and New Zealand.

If any artist is able to bring people together, it will be

Ms. St. King when she sings the following words

from her “World Anthem,”

Peace On Earth

“How do you feel at night?

Do you wish for Peace?

Do you feel alright?

We’re really not that different,

don’t you think?

We all seek to find love.

We all need to have hope.”

Cecilia is no stranger to adversity.

Six months after running from the fall of

The World Trade Center,

she was diagnosed with cancer in her throat.

She spent time healing in a monastery in New Zealand

and turned her tragedy into triumph

by being a voice for Peace.

She is genuinely a warm, nurturing spirit

who easily connects with her audience to deliver

inspirational lyrics, and beautiful vocals.

You will laugh, you will cry, but most importantly

you will be left feeling a sense of HOPE.

See her solo or with a band, you are sure to be inspired

and no doubt leave wanting more.

* The United Nations Culture of Peace Week

Steelers Takeaways 

Player Flashbacks through the Decades

This book approaches the Steelers organization and players in a way no other book has – spanning across seven decades of Steelers players, the book is comprised of personal and on-field stories. Author, Ron Lippock has conducted over 400 interviews with former Steelers – from those that played in the 50’s, through ones that have just recently retired. 

These stories and memories are amassed not only from the household names like L.C. Greenwood, Donnie Shell, Antwaan Randle El, Rocky Bleier, and Tommie Maddox, but also from the hundreds of players who fought just to make the practice squad. Their contributions and struggles, successes and failures, all helped to define the Steelers as an organization just as much as the many Hall of Famers. 

These players discuss the adversity they faced – the physical impact of the game, the stress of making and keeping one’s position on the team, mentoring younger players even as they sought to take their roster spot, moving from team to team, and more. 

Players reveal the humor behind the game and how it affected them – from the jokes teammates played on one another in the locker rooms, meeting rooms, and hotels, to the on-field pranks and antics fans are otherwise not privy to.

Dr Hook™ Starring Dennis Locorriere - The Timeless World Tour

Dr Hook was an internationally recognizable household name throughout the 70’s and 80’s and in many territories throughout the world; it retains that standing to this day. 

Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show did its farewell tour with Dennis on vocals in the late 80’s but it was just the beginning of what he has since accomplished in his long and colourful career. Locorriere penned songs have been recorded and performed by artists such as Helen Reddy, Lou Rawls, BJ Thomas, Olivia Newton-John, Southside Johnny, Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan. As a solo artist, Locorriere has played at countless prestigious venues (Festival Hall Melbourne, Royal Concert Hall Glasgow, Liverpool Philharmonic) and festivals including the UK’s Glastonbury and has released 3 critically acclaimed albums.

Not for 30 years have the massive hits of Dr Hook been sung and played live by a band worthy of that title … until now.

Following the success of the Universal release Dr Hook Timeless (Executive Producer, Dennis Locorriere in the UK, New Zealand and Australia,  Dennis Locorriere, who, from the very beginnings of Dr Hook to the height of their success, was the unmistakable voice of the band’s biggest hits and best loved songs, such as Sylvia's Mother, Cover Of Rolling Stone, Only 16, A Little Bit More, If Not You, Sharing The Night Together, Better Love Next Time, Sexy Eyes, When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman, Years From Now and many more, is touring the world with an incredibly talented band of musicians and singers, playing all of the hits. 

This is something that has not done since his Dr Hook Farewell Tour in 1985. 

In fact, never before have these songs been recreated live to sound just as they did when they were originally recorded in the famous Nashville and Muscle Shoals studios with some of the best session musicians in the world.

Possessing one of the most recognizable voices in popular music, Dennis Locorriere and the band have already performed sell out shows in New Zealand, Australia, and the UK and will be bringing this unique experience to the rest of the world.

 Dennis says “I know that people love the Dr Hook sound on those original recordings and that's what we're bringing back to them, just the way they remember it and want to hear it performed live”.

Guest Biography:

Kitten Rescue was founded in the spring of 1997 and has grown to become one of the largest and most respected animal welfare groups in Los Angeles. We are a non-profit, totally volunteer run organization devoted to finding loving new homes for unwanted cats and kittens. Kitten Rescue volunteers place approximately 1,000 cats and kittens into new homes every year. Since its inception, Kitten Rescue has rescued and placed over 10,000 cats into loving homes.

In March 2006, Kitten Rescue realized one of its long-standing dreams when it acquired its very own private, no-kill shelter in Los Angeles. The Kitten Rescue Sanctuary is a shelter and boarding facility that can house up to 150 cats. The Sanctuary has a full-time staff as well as numerous volunteers who provide care, love and socialization for the cats housed there. Ciela was rescued from the streets with her 3 siblings and adopted into loving homes.

The majority of Kitten Rescue's animals live in volunteer foster homes until they are adopted. Our volunteers care for orphaned or abandoned kittens that need to be bottle fed, moms with litters, cats that need socialization and sick and injured animals. Kitten Rescue takes care of all of its rescued cats' medical needs, and prior to adoption, every cat is spayed/neutered, tested for leukemia and FIV, vaccinated, dewormed, treated for fleas and microchipped.

We also offer education and assistance to the public regarding all aspects of responsible pet ownership, care of kittens and cats, the importance of spaying and neutering, and the proper maintenance and care of feral cat colonies. During "kitten season", volunteers teach bottle feeding classes for people who want to care for unweaned kittens. Kitten Rescue also distributes City of Los Angeles spay/neuter coupons to members of the public.

Kitten Rescue's goal is to help Los Angeles become a no-kill city.
