Ray Stevens Releases "Encyclopedia" Of Comedy Monday, 20 February 2012 22:11 Nashville, Tenn. (February 16, 2012) - In years past, encyclopedias were sold door-to-door and every family who wanted to give their kid an edge in school had a set in their bookcase. There will soon be a new encyclopedia on the market but it won’t be sold door-to-door. This one is for every kid at heart who wants to revisit the fabulous “Golden Era” of recorded comedy music, or share it for the first time with others they love.
 
GRAMMY Award-winning comedy music icon Ray Stevens is set to release the Encyclopedia of Recorded Comedy Music on February 28, 2012. The 9-disc, 108-song box set (released via Clyde Records Nashville and distributed through Allegro Distribution) is historic in nature in the sense that it’s a one-of-a-kind compilation and one that has never been attempted by any other artist, until now. And who better to offer the world a box of laughs than Ray Stevens?

One World Theatre Presents Monte Montgomery

MonteMontgomerySince his jaw dropping performance on Austin City Limits, Monte Montgomery has embarked on an almost fantasy like rock and roll roller coaster ride filled with dizzying accomplishments and mind blowing accolades.  Named one of the “Top 50 All-Time Greatest Guitar Players” by Guitar Player Magazine, he’s been called everything from “guitar-god” to the “answer to the Fermi Paradox”. The seven-time winner at the Austin Music Awards, Montgomery’s latest release “Monte Montgomery”, cements his place as an acoustic guitar genius as well as songwriter, singer and master musician. "Monte Montgomery’s exquisitely crafted, melodically and rhythmically sophisticated pop songs suggest the best of Fleetwood Mac, Squeeze and The Police, while just happening to integrate the most mind-boggling guitar work in the State of Texas” – Acoustic Guitar Magazine
