June 2010 Newsletter

Happy June 1st!! Just wanted to you guys a quick note to say that we have 3 shows lined up for the month of June. Thursday, June 10th at the Cullman County Farmers Market. This is located on the corner of 1st Ave NE and Arnold Street and will be a very informal show.  We'll be taking requests, provided we know the song. Thursday, June 24th at The Birmingham Public Library, B'ham, AL -  This will be a very unique show located in the Atrium area from 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm.  Snacks are provided by the library.  The acoustics are great and there is plenty of close parking at the rear of the building so bring your smiles and festive attitudes and come join us for a night of Rockin Acappella Oldies!  We'd love to see all of our B'ham fan club at this event. Saturday, June 26th sponsored by Main Street Cruisers Car Club - Cleveland, TN -  We will perform from 5pm - 7:30pm on the Bradley County Courthouse steps.  For more information on this show view www.mainstreetcruisers.com Up Close & Personal Barry Wiginton is our bass singer and is from Tallassee, AL where he graduated from Faulkner University in Montgomery.  Barry is a great asset to our group and has the perfect bass voice.  He is kind and talented, a hard worker but knows how to have fun, especially on stage.  Barry has just purchased and moved into his new home in Calera, AL.  We are very happy to have the opportunity to work with this very talented young man and look forward to many more years of fun with him on stage and off.  Daryl Shackleford sings a lot of lead in our group and is a whiz with the sound board.  Daryl does all of our recording and is very patient and persistent in making sure every note is on key.  We appreciate his ability to perform the Elvis songs with all of the enthusiasm and charm that songs like that take.  Brenda Mitchell, that's me, works hard to book our shows and manage all the events.  It takes hard work and dedication to keep a show like ours on the road spreading the oldies and I love it.  I am happy to put all of the time and effort into our show.  I know someone else could probably do a better job, but I know for a fact that they would not enjoy it as much as I do... :-) Tiffany Mitchell has blossomed into not only a wonderful singer/performer but beautiful young lady.  If you want a real treat just come to our show and watch this classic beauty at work.  She sings like no other and has fun doing it.  She brings excitement and personality to the stage and we appreciate all of her abilities on stage and off. So, there you have it..... our group, "Blast From The Past"....  We love each and every one of you guys and know that we would be nothing without your love and support...  We thank God every day for the abilities that we have been given and want to use them to not only spread the oldies but to spread cheer and enjoyment to all of our fans.  We will be taking the month of July off due to some of the members of our group being in LA and out of the country for a while.  We have some shows in the works for Aug - Dec and I'll be updating you guys about those soon. Thanks to you for your continued kindness toward us, Brenda Mitchell for Blast From The Past Acappella Oldies Show www.blastfromthepastshow.info
