When you hear a classic Charlie Daniels Band performance like “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” you hear music that knows no clear genre. Is it a folk tale? A southern boogie? A country fiddle tune? An electric rock anthem? The answer is, “yes” to all of
that and more. And the same goes for “In America,” “Uneasy Rider,” “The South’s Gonna Do It,” “Long Haired Country Boy,” “Still in Saigon,” “The Legend of Wooley Swamp,” and the rest of a catalog that spans 50 years of record making and represents more than 20 million in sales.
This time out Charlie Daniels Band will be performing not only his biggest hits but also Christmas songs. Charlie Daniels has released a special holiday CD/DVD package today called “Joy to the World: A Bluegrass Christmas”. The deluxe, two-disc set includes a CD and a bonus DVD, “A Twin Pines Christmas”. Both discs feature collaborations between Daniels and guests Kathy Mattea, Dan Tyminski, Jewel, Suzanne and Evelyn Cox of the Cox Family, Aaron Tippin and The Grascals. The Twin Pines Christmas DVD contains live performances, as well as additional commentary and interview footage with Daniels and the rest of the artists.

John Tesh, the performer best known for sharing his soul throughout the year, has captured the Christmas spirit in a big way! Taking the stage at the holidays for the first time in more than 15 years, John and his band of 4 merry makers have created a performance you'll talk about for years to come. Wrapped up under the Tesh tree you'll find traditional carols "ramped up" to get your toes tapping in your seat, and some of your favorite carols arranged with a nostalgic Big Band feel. John's remarkable version of "We Three Kings" will stay in your head throughout the 12 days of Christmas! Tunes ranging from "Silent Night", to "It Wouldn't be Christmas without You" present the perfect chance for you to catch the holiday spirit too!
Join John Tesh for an evening of music, comedy and even a few goodies from his nationally syndicated radio show "Music & Intelligence for Your Life" --like “How to enjoy the holidays without gaining the seasonal saddlebags", and "When you act to improve someone else's life, your own health improves as a result!". This Christmas package includes John's trademark high-energy light show, wrap-around LCD screens and, most important, John's genuine interaction with the audience.
It's a sometimes silly, sometimes serious and always inspirational way to head into the holidays with your perspective adjusted, your expectations in check and your heart in high gear!

| Family Arena Makes Pollstar Magazine Top 100 List |
Concert and music industry magazine Pollstar has released its list of the “Top 100 Worldwide Arena Venues” for January 1 through June 30, 2009. And, for the first time ever, the Family Arena has made the prestigious list. With 74,541 tickets sold in the first half of 2009, the Family Arena ranked 90th worldwide and 48th in the nation.
Family Arena Director, Steven R. Rosenblatt commented, “We are thrilled to be in the same company with world class venues such as The O2, the Sprint Center and the Allstate Arena. The vast majority of facilities on this list have capacity potentials that are two to three times greater than our own. For a venue of our size to make such an esteemed list is truly an honor.”
Venues Today, a leading international trade publication that covers the business side of entertainment and sports, has also singled out the Family Arena for recognition. In the category of facilities with capacities of 5,001 - 10,000, the Family Arena was ranked 15th in the nation for gross revenue for the first half of 2009.
“As a mid-sized arena,” Rosenblatt said, “it is incumbent upon us to seek out and nurture new events. Tours such as Billy Joel/Elton John and U2 obviously require facilities that are physically larger. For us to succeed, we need to create and/or find new and interesting programming. We can no longer wait for it to fall into our laps. In this economic climate it’s important to provide unique entertainment at reasonable prices.”
