The Brian Hughes Band Saturday, August 3rd 7:00 PM in the Amphitheater at Farnsworth Park

Brian Hughes

 

 

Los Angeles resident Brian Hughes has carved out an impressive career in the contemporary jazz arena. His first two albums, Between Dusk and Dreaming and Under One Sky, firmly established him as one of the foremost guitarists and composers in the genre, perfectly blending his fluid and emotive guitar style into an exciting melodic mix of Latin, Jazz and World Music compositions. After being picked as a winner in JAZZIZ magazine's "Guitars On Fire" competition his subsequent recordings Straight To You, One 2 One, Shakin’ Not Stirred, Along the Way, Live and the concert DVD No Reservations have received critical acclaim and major radio air play from coast to coast. With his sizzling fret work and infectious compositions the media are accurate in saying, "Both a great artist and an accessible one. His passion is so obvious, intense and contagious, that his audience shares it.” Brian has received the SOCAN / BMI "Jazz & Instrumental Composer of the Year" award seven times from 1997 to 2011 and the title track from “Shakin’ Not Stirred” was featured on an episode of HBO’s Sex and the City.

Fast Train To A Quiet Place, Hughes’ current release, features an all-star lineup:

Matt Rodhe: Keyboards (Prince, Christina Aguilera)
Tal Bergman: Drums (Joe Bonamassa, Rod Stewart)
Ron Powell: Percussion (Kenny G, Madonna)
Rufus Philpot: Bass (Down to the Bone). 

Brian has performed Jazz Festivals and Concerts around the world including concert dates in Germany, Holland and Switzerland, The Providencia Jazz Festival (Santiago, Chile) and the Montreal International Jazz Festival.

For the past 25 years Brian has had a parallel career recording and touring with world renowned vocalist Loreena McKennitt, (The Mummer’s Dance). Brian’s skills as a musician (guitars, and, bouzouki) and his production and mixing talents are evident on her current Grammy nominated recording, Troubadours on the Rhine. McKennitt has sold over 15 million albums worldwide and Brian has toured the world several times with her, appearing on the Late Show with David Letterman and receiving a Juno (Canadian Grammy) nomination as "Producer of the Year” for his work on her platinum selling album, The Visit.

Brian has also accompanied Celtic music legends, The Chieftains, on several tours and has produced and mixed several international platinum selling albums for Greek recording artists Alkistas Protopsalti, Evanthia Reboutsika, Yannis Kotsiras and Panayotis Kalantzopoulos, including the soundtrack for A Touch of Spice the top grossing film in Greek cinema history.

Each year, the Summer Concert Series has been made possible by the generous support of our Sponsors. This year SSGA welcomes back a major sponsor, Warner Bros. Entertainment.

Antonovich, Rotary Club of Altadena, Monte Cedro, Athens Service, Toyota of Pasadena, El Patron Mexican Food Restaurant, All American Audio Visual, our own home town news source, www.altadenablog.com, The Printworks and, Georgia Rutherford in memory of Don Rutherford.

Altadena Sheriff's Enrolling Youth for VIDA (Vital Intervention Directional Alternatives) Program

Wednesday July 10, 2013, 4:31 PM LASD - Altadena Station, Los Angeles County Sheriff

Community: Altadena Sheriff's Enrolling Youth for VIDA (Vital Intervention Directional Alternatives) Program   In providing the VIDA program, the Altadena Sheriff's Station recognize the importance of offering counseling, family action, community service, physical training, team building, and career guidance to wayward youth in our community. All this is done in an effort to help redirect negative behavior of our youth, who may be tempted to explore gang affiliation, drug use, or crime. Law enforcement personnel oversee the program and play a major role in the intervention and overall development of the teens. VIDA helps build self-esteem, motivate teens toward success, and aids in breaking the cycle of criminal behavior. For many, successful completion of the program can result in new beginnings, a new outlook, and potentially the establishment of a lifetime of positive influences and contacts. The ultimate goal of the deputies, and others involved, is to work with the youths toward the common goal of establishing a better and brighter future, away from negative influences. The V.I.D.A. academy focuses on several areas, including healthy living, academic and vocational achievement, truancy reduction, increased literacy, workforce preparation, improving parental relationships, and preventing substance abuse. We also perform home and school visits randomly throughout the week. "By placing positive influences around our youth, we can help them realize their self-worth, establish goals and avoid gangs, drugs, crime and negative influences," said Captain John Benedict. He added, "We must do our part with our youth, in prevention and intervention, as they are the future of this great community." How are teens selected? Teens are referred from: • Juvenile Courts • Probation Department • School District • Field or School Resource Deputies • Parents who are struggling to maintain control of their child's negative behavior and request they be accepted into the program Other participants are accepted on a case-by-case basis. VIDA Components There are seven basic components to the VIDA program. Each is designed and structured to identify the negative influences that have resulted in the teen's referral to the program and to help place the teen on the road to success. • Pre-intake • Intake Night • Counseling and Family Action • Community Service • Physical training • Life Skills Workshops • Career Guidance Components Functions Pre–Intake: Detailed discussion of parental responsibility; past, present and future activities of the juvenile; and expectations for successful completion of the program. Intake Night: Counselors and deputies discuss the harsh reality of incarceration with participants and their parents. This session is informative, emotional, and impactful. Counseling and Family Action: Ongoing counseling services are provided to the teen and family members throughout the duration of the program. Community Service: Teens are required to perform 32 hours of community service. "Giving back" is an important part of the program. Physical Training: Teens are required to perform various physical training tasks, including: sit-ups, push-ups, and light jogging. These activities build self-discipline and teamwork. Life Skills Workshops: Life skills classes help teens develop their basic personal, social, and academic skills, with the goal of helping them become productive members of society. Additional Components Drill: Teens are taught and per from close order marching. Competitive Games: Teens compete with other VIDA program participants throughout the county to test their skills in drill, physical training, and knowledge of VIDA history. Graduation: A formal ceremony, where all county participants are recognized for successful completion of the program. Deputy Dexter Jones is now accepting VIDA Applications at this time. The interested parent or guardian must attend a formal registration. If you know kids and parents who you feel would benefit from the VIDA academy we encourage you to visit our website at www.vida.la. We can also be contacted via phone 626-296-2108 or e-mail ALTADENAVIDA@GMAIL.COM There is a one-time $75 enrollment fee which covers the cost of the participant’s uniform, field-trip expenses, and drug testing.
