Huge Stage Show Captivates Audiences of All Ages By Featuring Five Decades of Music
RockAbilly.US Music Shows, a very large musical production group, is very quickly making waves across the country.
(PRWEB) June 25, 2005 -- Viewing the montage of photographs on their
advertising posters demonstrates instantly, that this new phenomenon in music
stage shows is much more than what you commonly see and hear around the country.
Breaking into the business with a name that is also their website address (www.rockabilly.us),
RockAbilly.US Music Shows has already begun to accumulate a large group of fans
from among the residents of Citrus County, as well as surrounding counties in
west-central Florida. The spokesperson for the group stressed they also have a
large number of fans in other parts of the U.S., and in some foreign countries
as well. A look at their website statistics proved the accuracy of that claim.
Many thousands of curious visitors roam through their very extensive website
every month, and many write to express their appreciation for shows they have
seen.
RockAbilly.US Music Show's theme is "Feel The Music," and while
they do not perform at excessive volume levels, you can still indeed "Feel the
Music" in the performances. The dynamic shows are highly energized, and give
audiences over 2 hours of almost non-stop enjoyment and excitement. Using
professionally choreographed singing, dancing, and skits, combined with many
changes of various lavish costumes, they top it all off with a surprising degree
of extra entertainment, mixed in throughout the show. Thus, the shows are more
than just music to listen to, and performers to watch. There are spontaneous
'cutsy' bits, as well as various surprises in every performance.
Many of
today's musical artists seem to be finding success, leaning more and more
towards rap, hip-hop, metal, gothic, gore, etc. So, why would such a large
number of people (including over 40 performers, as well as an even larger group
of technical people and support staff), decide to ride the musical
'time-machine' BACKWARDS in today's entertainment world? The answer seems to lie
in the effects of nostalgia... and what a powerful effect that can be. Even the
very word used for the name of the group (rockabilly) originated back in the
1950s, and has become a commonly used term in the music realm (even on Ebay)
today. It's origins go back to the mixing of 1950s "rock-n-roll" with the
"hillbilly" (country) music of that period. The result was the huge number of
musical successes that today are referred to as "Golden Oldies". Rockabilly.US
uses the term to emphasize the fact that nearly three-fourths of the songs they
perform are from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. They do however, also perform some of
the greatest hits of the more recent decades as well. In fact, group members
will admit that a few of their own original musical compositions are somewhat
more modern sounding, including some songs with beats very similar to modern
Latin American music. They do claim that even those songs are performed in a
manner that still gives them appeal to older, as well as the younger audiences.
Recent polls taken among Americans of all ages, show a distinct tendency
to currently listen to 'Oldies' or 'rockabilly' genres of music. This is true
with Country music, as well as Pop, and Rock and Roll. Songs from the 1960s, in
particular, are being revived by newer artists. Also, more and more shows are
being performed each year by the original artists from past decades, who are now
returning to public performances, bringing with them their own hits from the
50s, 60s, and 70s.
Rockabilly.US Music Shows are also doing just that,
and have attempted to combine the most popular songs and dances of each era into
high-power, energized performances. They claim to have more than a dozen
different shows, each featuring a varied selection of songs, dances, and skits.
All of their shows include a variety of musical genres going back into past
decades, but the "Oldies But Goodies" influence upon their music is always very
evident in the performances.
The 'Elvis' portion of each show usually
follows closely the typical style of Elvis Presley's 1970s concerts. Various
expensive replica jumpsuits are used in different shows, and instead of having 3
or 4 girls singing back-up harmonies as Elvis did, Rockabilly.US always packs on
more power with at least six girls doing that job. They claim to not actually
"impersonate" Elvis, and try very hard to back up that claim, but the style and
music of the King of Rock and Roll can still be easily recognized in their
performances. You'll find yourself wanting to jump out of your seat and gyrate
with the dancers to all of Elvis' greatest hits.
The www.Rockabilly.US web site is
generally updated every couple of weeks with new show information, new pictures,
and will very soon offer a catalog for fans to purchase CDs and videos of the
live performances. Also, reading the authentic fan mail on the site, one can see
there are a lot of people anxiously awaiting news of each new Rockabilly.US
show. It is likely that most people seeing the shows will also become part of
that fast-growing group of fans!
The showband certainly has plenty of
work to keep them busy, as they strive to ride the 'wave' to the top! They
recently purchased a new "BIG TOP" (circus type) tent, measuring 179 feet long,
and nearly 8000 square feet total under roof, in order to add outdoor shows to
their performance capabilities. They also purchased 700 new "ultra-comfort
chairs", in order to make the audience as comfortable as possible in the shows.
They are equipped to handle outdoor audiences up to about 5000 people, but the
remainder would have to use folding chairs or bring their own portable chairs.
Most of the Rockabilly.US concert shows are held in auditoriums in
various areas of the region, as the group rents the facilities, and promotes
their own shows. If you live in central Florida, you will be seeing a lot of
cars with magnetic signs portraying full-color photos of the group during
performances. You will also likely see a lot of promotional posters all over the
area as well. If you are interested in more information, and do not have
internet access, the group has a computerized telephone system with recorded
messages, answering all the normal questions and giving show schedules. It will
go online at least by July 4, 2005. The number is 1-352-344-0381.
We
have word from the Rockabilly.US manager that quite a few new shows are being
scheduled right now, and will be posted on the web site very soon. These include
performances at both the Citrus and Sumter county fairgrounds, as well as some
special shows at the Austin Horse Park located near The Villages, Florida (web
site is www.austinhorsepark.org). He strongly assures us that in the
very near future, the music of this large performing group will be circulated
around the world via the internet, CDs, and video media. He says there are also
more surprises coming soon. For more information, you may contact him at e-mail
