It's me Barry here on Facebook. I have some very exciting news to share with all of you. I've planed some unscheduled surprise concerts starting on Thursday November 17th and going thru Wednesday November 30th. That's a total of eight arena concerts. Yes I know I said I hated arenas. These arena concerts will give more fans a chance to see these unscheduled concerts. These are the unscheduled concert cities and dates. Thursday November 17th Palace of the Auburn Hills Detroit MI. Saturday November 19th PPG Paints Arena Pittsburgh PA, Sunday November 20th Barclay Center Brooklyn NY., Tuesday November 22nd Prudential Center Newark NJ,, Wednesday November 23rd TD Bank Gardens Boston MA., Saturday November 26th Wells Fargo Center Philadelphia PA., Monday November 28th Colonial Life Arena Columbia SC and Wednesday November 30th Philips Arena Atlanta GA. I'm bringing my usual musical suspects with me. Plus two extra surprises Debra Byrd vocalist and Dana Robbins saxophonist and vocalists. And my regular band mates. Russ McKinnon
drums, David Rosenblatt percussion vocals, Marc Levine bass vocals, Mike Lent guitar vocals, Ron Pedley keyboards, Rick Turner trombone, Kevin Simons trumpet, Billy Kidd keyboard vocals, Shelly Greco vocals, Kion Harris vocals and Joey Melotti keyboards, musical director vocals. Then I've invited the Grant Street Campus chorus to back me up for my eight city concert dates. To give you a little history on the Grant Street Campus. Back on February 5, 1900 Eastern District High School opened at Driggs Avenue and South 3rd Street. Then in 1907 it moved to 227 Marcy Avenue where I went to school and graduated from. It moved one more time in 1981 to 850 Grant Street it's last address. Eastern District High School folded in the spring of 1996. Then it reopened that fall 1996 as four smaller schools The High School for Enterprise, Business and Technology, Progress High School for Professional Careers, The High School for Legal Studies and Eastern District Senior Academy. Eastern District Academy folded after just two years. The other three are still going. So I am bring their chorus along on my eight city road trip. They will be backing me up on One Voice and the Ray Charles gospel version of It's A Miracle. Ticket prices are as follows. Front floor except first row center. $30, back main floor $25, lower bleachers $20, main bleachers $15 and nose bleed bleachers $10. The proceeds from all eight shows are going to The Manilow Music Project and The One Voice Foundation. Just show up at the venue the day of the show. It's first come first serve for seats. Except for the front row center which is being saved for Platinum Packages. There are fifteen seats in the font row center at each venue. Those fifteen seats are going as Platinum Packages for $75. The Platinum Packages consist of One front row center seat, after fter concert meet Barry for ten minutes, photo with Barry and autographed vinyl copy of Here At The Mayflower II (Many more stories inside.) and disposable camera with photos taken by David Taylor personal assistant. There are fifteen Platinum Packages for first come first serve fans. For those seats call the BMIFC number on Monday November 14th at one pm. Those seats are first come first serve for fifteen lucky fan club members. Can't wait to see you guys at one of these eight unscheduled shows.
