SUMMARY:Zac Brown Tribute Band
DESCRIPTION:BTB is the premier tribute to the chart-topping Zac Brown Band. \nWith 13 number-one singles and 3 GRAMMY wins\, \nthe Zac Brown Band is one of the hottest names in the music business and ZBTB is the first and most authentic tribute to their recorded music and live show. \nNot only does ZBTB capture the sound and creativity of the Zac Brown Band but they bring a similar atmosphere of family to their shows while engaging the audience in a way that is all their own. \nFrom the Zac Brown Band’s 2008 breakout hit “Chicken Fried” to the recent sing-along anthem “Same Boat”\, ZBTB plays all the hits any country fan knows and loves. \nIn concert\, the Zac Brown Band is well known for their renditions of a diverse set of covers\, and ZBTB follows suit. \nWith classics like “Enter Sandman” and “Ants Marching”\, as well as\, modern hits like “There’s Nothing Holding Me Back” and “Little Lion Man” in the set\, \nthere’s something for everyone at a ZBTB show. \nThe members of ZBTB come from a wide range of backgrounds. Some have advanced degrees in music\, and some have toured internationally – one even played for the circus. \nThey all share some things in common\, though: the brotherhood that only being in a band can bring\, and the passion and experience to thrill the audience wherever they go. \nFrom cramped pubs to concert halls\, overseas Military bases to backyard BBQs\, and sand-filled parking lots to ocean-side stages\, there are die-hard members of the “ZBTB Social Club” everywhere they’ve played. \nZBTB is perpetually performing\, and always looking for new places to put their “toes in the water\, ass in the sand” and play music together for some new friends. \n“The Zac Brown Tribute Band was fabulous at Mulcahy’s. They are the closest thing to the real Zac Brown Band… the ideal live show.” – digitaljournal.com \nstrand.org

SUMMARY:A Medium Gallery Show with Linda Shields\, The Jersey Shore Medium
DESCRIPTION:At just eight years old\, Linda Shields discovered her gift\, which would later on turn into a lifelong career for herself. \nIt wasn’t until she was pushed into it that she discovered what it was that she’d be doing for the rest of her life. \nNow\, 54 years later\, the Jersey Shore Medium is touring around the country and continues to be surrounded by spirits in her day-to-day work. \nEleven years ago\, Shields launched her career into becoming the Jersey Shore Medium. \nIt all started in her early twenties when someone approached her with tarot cards. \nLittle did she know she would never see that person again; however\, she would end up needing those cards again someday. \nIt became public for Shields in the summer of 1990 when she received a phone call to do a reading. \nShields’ grandmother was also a psychic who taught her how to turn off and on her senses as well as understand them. \n“There has never been a time where I could not connect with someone\,” says Shields. “It’s the readings that when I can give closure or hope\, that’s what keeps me going.” \nShields is able to use the psychic senses of hearing (Clairaudience)\, tasting/smelling (Clairsentient)\, and physical feeling or being an Empath during a reading. \nShe was never afraid of her spirits due to the fact that she was always surrounded by them. The Jersey Shore Medium admits that she favors Clairaudience because it’s like having a personal dialogue in her head. \n“I want to stay where I am. I like being the Jersey Shore Medium. I just want in the years to come to have the health to keep doing what I’m doing. \nAs long as I have the energy and the blessings to do it\, I’ll do it as long as I can\,” Shields states. \nShields offers private medium readings\, medium gallery parties\, private tarot card readings\, lectures\, and fundraising events. \nIn addition\, the Jersey Shore native is also the published author of Angel Inspirations for Serenity and Love\, Crystal Power\, and 12\,000 Dreams Interpreted. \nstrand.org
