SUMMARY:Little River Band
DESCRIPTION:The Eagles founding member\, the late Glenn Frey\, knew what he was saying when he dubbed Little River Band “the best singing band in the world.” Through the ‘70’s and ‘80’s\, LRB enjoyed huge chart success with multiplatinum albums and chart topping hits like:“Cool Change\,” “The Night Owls\,” Happy Anniversary\,” “Reminiscing\,” “Lonesome Loser\,”  “Take It Easy On Me\,” “Help Is on Its Way\,” “We Two\,”  “Man On Your Mind\,” “The Other Guy\,” and It’s A Long Way There.” \n\n\n\nWorldwide album\, CD sales and digital downloads now top 35 million and Little River Band has set a record for having had Top 10 hits for 6 consecutive years – In fact\, they were the very first band to achieve that remarkable status! According to BMI\, “Reminiscing” has garnered rare status with over 5 million airplays on American radio\, and “Lady” is close behind with over 4 million airplays.  \n\n\n\nBassist/vocalist Wayne Nelson joined the band in 1980.  He worked alongside founding members with some of the most distinctive harmonies and vocal abilities\, creating the unique Little River Band sound. In 1981\, Nelson was recognized by world renowned Beatles producer Sir George Martin whom\, while producing ‘Time Exposure’\, chose Nelson to record lead vocals on two of the band’s biggest hits\, “The Night Owls” and “Take It Easy On Me.”  \n\n\n\nTo date\, lead singer/bassist Wayne Nelson has contributed his vocal and bass guitar talents on 22 Little River Band Albums/CD’s.  Little River Band continues to perform to sold out audiences. \n\n\n\nBringing their vocal and musical energy along with great arrangements to their timeless classic hits\, each show creates new memories for the audience.  The band enjoys watching their fans fall in love with the songs all over again as they are swept up by the show’s powerful performance and the volume of hits from Little River Band’s history.  \n\n\n\nWith over 90 dates being scheduled for their 2024-2025 tour\, Little River Band is hotter than ever selling out shows and making music coast to coast continuing their legacy of being “the best singing band in the world.”

SUMMARY:Deadly Divide-The Hatfield & McCoy Story
DESCRIPTION:“Deadly Divide: The Hatfield & McCoy Story” Brings Legendary Feud to Life on the Stage at Chief Logan State Park \nLOGAN\, WV — This summer\, one of the most infamous chapters in American history returns to its roots as The Aracoma Story\, Incorporated (TAS\, Inc.) presents Deadly Divide: The Hatfield & McCoy Story — a powerful new outdoor drama chronicling the legendary feud that helped define the identity of West Virginia. \nIn collaboration with the Hatfield and McCoy Convention and Visitors Bureau\, Deadly Divide will be staged at the Liz Spurlock Amphitheatre in Chief Logan State Park. The production promises an immersive theatrical experience that captures the tension\, tragedy\, and humanity of the historic conflict between the Hatfields and McCoys. \nWritten by West Virginia native and former Logan resident Geoff Allen\, the script is the result of a year-long deep dive into historical records\, folklore\, and firsthand accounts. Allen\, a longtime TAS\, Inc. performer\, sought to deliver the most accurate and emotionally honest portrayal of the feud ever presented on stage. \n“I took no sides\,” Allen said. “I took my obligation to tell the truth of the story quite seriously.” Early readers have praised the script for its authenticity and powerful storytelling. \nDirecting the production is veteran TAS\, Inc. Director Bill France who has long dreamed of bringing this story to the stage. “We’ve wanted to produce a Hatfield and McCoy show for years\, but couldn’t find the right script—until now\,” said France. \nFrance and Allen previously collaborated on the critically acclaimed reimagining of The Aracoma Story\, Spirits and Legends from 2009–2011\, which played to sold-out crowds. Their creative chemistry returns in Deadly Divide for a show France describes as “a big epic 3D living breathing movie that actually puts you inside our show.” \nAudiences can expect a gripping blend of historical accuracy and theatrical spectacle\, including gunfights\, burning buildings\, stabbings\, dancing\, love stories\, and deep emotional moments. “It’s packed with action and emotion\,” France added. “Nothing is left out.” \nDeadly Divide: The Hatfield & McCoy Story will run for nine performances:July 25\, 26\, 27\,August 1\, 2\, 3\,August 8\, 9\, 10All shows begin promptly at 8:30 PM at the Liz Spurlock Amphitheatre in Chief Logan State Park. Tickets will be available at the gate. \nJoin TAS\, Inc. this summer as West Virginia’s most infamous feud takes center stage — and a new tradition in outdoor drama is born. \n\n\nGet tickets here: Tickets at On The Stage

SUMMARY:Deadly Divide-The Hatfield & McCoy Story
DESCRIPTION:“Deadly Divide: The Hatfield & McCoy Story” Brings Legendary Feud to Life on the Stage at Chief Logan State Park \nLOGAN\, WV — This summer\, one of the most infamous chapters in American history returns to its roots as The Aracoma Story\, Incorporated (TAS\, Inc.) presents Deadly Divide: The Hatfield & McCoy Story — a powerful new outdoor drama chronicling the legendary feud that helped define the identity of West Virginia. \nIn collaboration with the Hatfield and McCoy Convention and Visitors Bureau\, Deadly Divide will be staged at the Liz Spurlock Amphitheatre in Chief Logan State Park. The production promises an immersive theatrical experience that captures the tension\, tragedy\, and humanity of the historic conflict between the Hatfields and McCoys. \nWritten by West Virginia native and former Logan resident Geoff Allen\, the script is the result of a year-long deep dive into historical records\, folklore\, and firsthand accounts. Allen\, a longtime TAS\, Inc. performer\, sought to deliver the most accurate and emotionally honest portrayal of the feud ever presented on stage. \n“I took no sides\,” Allen said. “I took my obligation to tell the truth of the story quite seriously.” Early readers have praised the script for its authenticity and powerful storytelling. \nDirecting the production is veteran TAS\, Inc. Director Bill France who has long dreamed of bringing this story to the stage. “We’ve wanted to produce a Hatfield and McCoy show for years\, but couldn’t find the right script—until now\,” said France. \nFrance and Allen previously collaborated on the critically acclaimed reimagining of The Aracoma Story\, Spirits and Legends from 2009–2011\, which played to sold-out crowds. Their creative chemistry returns in Deadly Divide for a show France describes as “a big epic 3D living breathing movie that actually puts you inside our show.” \nAudiences can expect a gripping blend of historical accuracy and theatrical spectacle\, including gunfights\, burning buildings\, stabbings\, dancing\, love stories\, and deep emotional moments. “It’s packed with action and emotion\,” France added. “Nothing is left out.” \nDeadly Divide: The Hatfield & McCoy Story will run for nine performances:July 25\, 26\, 27\,August 1\, 2\, 3\,August 8\, 9\, 10All shows begin promptly at 8:30 PM at the Liz Spurlock Amphitheatre in Chief Logan State Park.
