SUMMARY:Lonestar with special guests Whiskey City
DESCRIPTION:Known for merging country roots with strong melodies and rich vocals\, Lonestar has sold in excess of ten million albums. They have achieved ten #1 country hits including “No News\,” “Come Crying To Me\,” and their crossover global smash “Amazed\,” which was also #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won an Academy of Country Music (ACM) Single of The Year. \nThe band has won many of music’s top honors\, including ACM New Vocal Group\, ACM Single and Song of the Year\, and ACM Humanitarian of the Year. They also won Country Music Association’s (CMA) Vocal Group of the Year and CMA International Artist Achievement. \nThe band’s quadruple platinum album Lonely Grill spawned four No. 1 hits\, including “Amazed\,” and established Lonestar as music’s preeminent pop-country band. Now working on a new album\, the forthcoming TEN to 1 record\, Lonestar – Dean Sams (keyboards\, acoustic guitar\, background vocals)\, Michael Britt (lead guitarist\, background vocals)\, Keech Rainwater (drums)\, and Drew Womack (lead vocals\, guitar) – are taking a fresh look at all 10 of their chart-topping country songs. With these re-recordings\, the band members were mindful of striking a balance between preserving the sonic elements fans were familiar with—and not repeating them. Fittingly\, TEN to 1 reflects the ways Lonestar’s hits have evolved over the years during the band’s rousing\, high-energy concerts. \nWith the release of TEN to 1 record\, the band members are full of gratitude for what they’ve accomplished already\, and excited about what the future holds. “It’s amazing that we’re still standing and putting on great shows after all these years\,” Sams says. “The fans are still coming out to our shows night after night\, to see us and hear our music. That’s almost 30 years of touring\, and I can’t tell you how grateful I am—and I’ve never once taken it for granted.”

SUMMARY:DLE Breakfast Club: Leveraging Informational Interviews for Career Success
DESCRIPTION:Ever wish you could pick the brain of a leader in your field? Wondering what’s the best way to score an informal conversation with someone who has your dream career? The answer is a career development tool that often goes underutilized: informational interviews. \nThis topic will be explored by leadership expert Roberta Gasbarre of the Smithsonian Institution in a moderated\, open discussion on Leveraging Informational Interviews for Career Success at the DLE Breakfast Club virtual program on April 22\, starting at 7 am. \nRoberta leverages decades of cultural and arts-based education leadership to share her expertise about how informational interviews can boost your career or entrepreneurial goals\, how to begin this process and what types of questions to ask (or not). Learn how to follow up after the conversation ends and how to respond when you are the recipient of an informational interview request. \nAn influential force in the realm of museum theater\, Roberta considers mentoring interns–including guiding them in setting up informational interviews–to be a highlight of her career.\nThe program runs an hour. Registration is limited to 20 participants to promote active networking and participation. \nThere is no fee to attend\, thanks to the sustained sponsorship of Dulye & Co. workplace culture and engagement consultancy based in the Berkshires. \nClick here to register!
