Immortalized forever at the time as the “singing policeman”, Daniel Rodriguez continues to uplift hearts and minds with his incredible voice and showmanship. It is no surprise that Daniel Rodriguez has always been a spiritual man. His first two albums, the debut Sprit of America and the romance From My Heart, both included a spiritual song as a testament to the driving force in his life, and he has welcomed the opportunity to work with many institutions and numerous law enforcement organizations. ************************* BIG SMITH Oct. 27-28-29-30, 2009********* Big Smith is a band from Springfield, Missouri composed of five cousins: Mark and Jody Bilyeu, Bill and Rik Thomas, and Jay Williamson. The newest member, fiddle player Molly Healey, brings the total to six creative individuals bound together by blood and harmony. They professionally began in 1996 and earned a devoted following playing raucous acoustic music that captured the spirit of their native Ozarks, equipped only with an acoustic guitar, mandolin, bass fiddle and washboard. ****************************** THE FIVE BROWNS Dec. 1-2-3-4, 2009*********** The Five Browns – Ryan, Melody, Gregory, Deondra and Desirae are the children of Keith and Lisa Brown from Utah who wanted their children to have music in their lives. They achieved their goal, and managed to raise five great pianists. Each child around the age of 3 showed great interest in piano and playing came as naturally to them as eating or sleeping and as early as age 9 they had each made their debut with a symphony orchestra. They became the first family of five siblings ever accepted simultaneously in the New York’s Julliard School. What beautiful music you will hear with 5 Steinway’s on the stage. ****************************** NEW YORK THEATER BALLET Feb. 23-24-25-26, 2010****** DANCE/SPEAK: The Life of Agnes de Mille is presented by the New York Theatre Ballet which is the most widely seen chamber ballet company in the United States.

Funny and down to earth, audiences will recognize these ladies as they witness the church year unfold from below the house of God.
