Lineup Announced for Weekend Excursion’s Annual Jimmy V Benefit

On December 17, 2011 melodic rockers Weekend Excursion will take the stage for what has become an annual benefit supporting the Jimmy V Foundation in their fight against cancer. This cause hits especially close to home for the band as three of its members have lost their mothers to the disease. This year Lucas Gambit Entertainment will assist in marketing and promotion of the event which will be held at Lincoln Theatre in Downtown Raleigh NC. We are honored to partner in such an honorable cause and are asking for your support as well. All proceeds from the show will be donated to the Jimmy V Foundation and tickets can be purchased in advance here.

The lineup this year will feature Weekend Excursion and two great acts with ties to this region. Former Glassnote Recording Artist, Jonas Sees In Color will perform along with a special appearance and performance by American Idol Season 7 Top 10 finalist Michael Johns.

If you are traveling and are in need of hotel accommodations, we have partnered with Downtown Raleigh’s Clarion Hotel to provide a special rate. We will be announcing other partner discounts and deals in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned.

Jonas Sees In Color

What folks are saying about Jonas Sees In Color:

“A sense of realness and authenticity…what makes great songs so universal.” -AOL

“An indie rock band in the truest sense of the word…showcasing a versatile and delicious knack for infectious melodies and poignant lyricism.” -BMI

“They’ve restored my recently shaken faith in emerging bands to do something original.” -Absolute Punk

American Idol Season 7 Finalist Michael Johns
Australian born Michael Johns was a contestant on the 7th season of American Idol, where he made it into the top 8, before being shockingly eliminated. Johns music career began when at the age of 20 the former tennis player and Australian rules football player moved to Atlanta GA. It was during a brief stint in the indie rock band Film that Johns met and struck up a fast friendship with the members of Weekend Excursion. After releasing a couple of independent albums with Film, Johns signed a record deal, moved to LA and founded the band The Rising who had one commercial release before Johns left the band. After recording an independently produced solo LP, Johns auditioned for American Idol and the rest is, as they say, history.

Michael will be braving the cold in northern Alberta, Canada to be one of the special performers along with The Canadian Tenors at Edmonton’s Singing Christmas Tree show.. a wonderful tradition there for 41 years!

On Friday morning, MJ will be singing on Edmonton’s City TV promoting the show…I will update the blog when I get the time of his appearance.

…I hope MJ brings a “Snuggy” and anything warm as the temperature high for Friday will be -19C (-2F) ..probably a bit hard to take after the idyllic weather in Perth.

Despite the cold, it sounds like a spectacular show!

Join us for another show-stopping spectacular filled with angelic voices, dancing santas, and a live
orchestra with special guests from David Fosters Band. Every year the Singing Christmas tree
works hard to bring you a brand new show and this year is no exception! For six shows over three
days, the stage will come to life, Christmas wishes will come true, and hearts will rejoice with the spirit
of Christmas! Be a part of the magic and come see The Singing Christmas Tree from december 17
to 19 at the northern alberta Jubilee auditorium.
This year marks the 41st anniversary of The Tree. I’ll Be Home for Christmas is the theme for this year’s
show, and since its inception The Singing Christmas Tree has endeavoured to provide Edmonton with
a show that celebrates its local artists and creates an opportunity for them to share the stage with
internationally renowned performers. This year’s special guests include members of David Fosters
Band who will be accompanying the live orchestra.
The Edmonton Singing Christmas Tree 2010
a new Year, a new tree, a new Show!

“The talent in our city is inspiring and The Singing Christmas Tree puts a spotlight on over 200 local
performers. Each year we strive to top our previous shows, and to create a holiday tradition that will
keep families coming back for another 41 years,” says executive producer John Cameron.
the Singing Christmas tree runs december 17 to19, 2010 at the northern alberta Jubilee
auditorium. For ticket information, visit edmontonsingingchristmastree.com, ticketmaster.ca or
