Saturday Night Headliner Announced

JOHNATHAN EAST BAND     Saturday, 19 April 2014     7:30pm

ACF Spring Music Festival is excited to announce this year's Saturday Night Headliner--The Johnathan East Band.  A popular country group that headlined the 2013 Fall Festival's Friday Night will be back to entertain our guest on Saturday, 19 April 2014.

 

Born and raised in Clay County, Alabama, Singer / Songwriter Johnathan East has always had a passion for music. He started playing guitar around the age of thirteen and began writing and singing songs about his southern country life, the lifestyle that he grew up around, in addition to stories that came from true life experiences and down home living.

After years of just playing for friends, Johnathan decided to break out into the local music scene. He played at wedding receptions, birthday parties and private events in and around his hometown of Lineville, Alabama. Playing around town, the locals fell in love with this modern country singer because of his genuine style and his rebel attitude.

His first appearance in the local music scene was at AJ’s restaurant in Anniston. He was soon known across east Alabama and parts of Georgia for his different style of country music. Johnathan was making his way to the top of the local music scene. His music career was becoming a success after all the hard work and dedication he put into his passion and love of music. In 2007, Johnathan released his very first self-produced album, “Grits and Gravy”. In the years that followed, Johnathan released several more albums, “One Horse Town”, "Hayseed", "Fresh Out of Love Songs" and his most recent album, "Hangin' By a Thread".

In December, 2011, Johnathan decided to take his music production to a whole different level. He released a music video to his song “American Boy” and with that, he had so much positive feedback, that he immediately began working on a second music video. This video was to his original song that is a fan favorite, “A Little on the Redneck Side”. He released this video in April, 2013, and with the video, the popularity of the song continues to grow.

With all of Johnathan’s songwriting ventures thus far and more to come in the future, he decided to form his own Publishing Company, Triple East Music and his own music company, Triple E Entertainment, LLC, both which promote his original music. In addition to songwriting, Johnathan East has recently been touring around the Southeast playing his original music, along with a number of country and southern rock cover songs as an acoustic act and with The Johnathan East Band.

P-Air     Thursday @ The Color Dance Party

I was born in Selma,Alabama June 30,1987. Throughtout my upbringing,I listened to all types of music because I was always around older siblings and relatives. Therfore, at any early age I was able to understand and analyze lyrics which inspired me to become a hip hop artist. I recorded my first song when I was in the 8th grade. I joined forces with my best friends to form a group that was named the Cinco Boyz in reference to our high school graduating class of 2005. Members of this group included my current partners in rhyme: M-See,J-Perk, & J-Styles. We released our first album in 2003 entitled "Cinco Some Serious" and our sophmore album "Cinco's Finest" in 2004. These albums generated enough buzz and gave us confidence to believe that we could actually pursue music seriously. In 2008, we formed a Money All Day Everyday Entertainment LLC.We all attended college. I attended Alabama State University and majored in Social Science Edu.In April 2010, we released "Fresh off Pluto",M-See's debut LP. My debut album "Mr. Live Like This" will be released in June 2011. I plan to have a tenured musical career and Money All Day Everyday Entertainment will be the first hip hop group in which every member will have a college degree. We aspire to make timeless music that all fans can enjoy while showing people that their dreams could be obtained, and that there is nothing wrong with being educated and having several options and resouces to succeed. Im inpired by artists such as 2pac,Notorious B.I.G.,Michael Jackson,Cashmoney,No Limit,T.I.,UGK,Young Jeezy,Kanye West,Lil Wayne,Eminem,Lil Boosie, The Temptaions,DMX,and Jay-Z.
