The offspring of famous musicians often have a hard time creating a career for themselves, yet Hank Williams, Jr. is one of the few to develop a career that is not only successful, but markedly different from his legendary father. Originally, Hank Jr. simply copied and played his father's music, but as he grew older, he began to carve out his own niche and it was one that owed as much to countryâ?rock as it did to honky tonk. In the late '70s, he retooled his image to appeal both to outlaw country fans and rowdy Southern rockers. His makeover was successful, resulting in a string of Top Ten singles â?â? including the number one hits "Texas Women," "Dixie on My Mind," "All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)," "Honky Tonkin'," and "Born to Boogie." â??Allmusic.comEvent Date: Saturday, March 3rd, 2012Event Times: Doors open at 6:30 pm â??

This event is free and open to the public."King Corn," directed by Aaron Woolf, follows Ellis and his best friend, Ian Cheney, on a year-long odyssey to understand where their food comes from- by growing it. In what The Washington Post calls "Required viewing for anyone planning to visit a supermarket, fast-food joint or their own refrigerator," the city-slickers learn to drive a combine, cash in on government subsidies and homebrew high-fructose corn syrup. The duo's Peabody-winning findings, shared with theatergoers in 60 cities and in a PBS national broadcast, has changed the way audiences eat.Ellis is the creator of several hit documentaries, including "The Greening of Southie," "Big River" as well as "Truck Farm" and is co-founder of the national AmeriCorps program FOODCORPS. He is a passionate campaigner for changing the way America's next generation eats, builds and lives. Since graduating from Yale in 2002, Ellis has constructed green homes in Oregon and the Adirondacks; launched an award-winning documentary and an advocacy company Wicked Delicate; and grown 10,000 pounds of genetically-modified corn.Today, Ellis is busy leading FOODCORPS, an AmeriCorps school garden program. The organization recruits young leaders to spend a post-college year conducting nutrition education, building school gardens and sourcing farm-fresh food for children in high-obesity communities. FOODCORPS is on a fast track to become the "Teach for America" of school food, with its current class of 50 (selected from 1,229 applicants) set to double next year. The program educates vulnerable children about healthy food, engagement with how it grows and daily access to its nutrients in school lunch, all while launching a new generation of farmers and public health leaders.Speaking engagements keep Ellis traveling throughout the year, and he has appeared on ABC, CBS, NBC and NPR as well as in The New York Times and Washington Post. Currently working under grants from the WK Kellogg Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, Ellis is a Draper Richards Kaplan Social Entrepreneur, a winner of the Heinz Award and a member of the board of directors of Slow Food USA.For more information about this event, contact Dr. Bart Welling, UNF associate professor in the Department of English, at (904) 620-1268 or at bhwellin@unf.edu. 7:00 pm - 8:00 pmUniversity of North Florida , 1 UNF Drive, Jacksonville, Florida 32224 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 19:00:00 -0000 http://oldcity.com/calendar-details.php?id=890 Every Friday evening throughout the spring semester, enjoy live music, a DJ as well as food and drink specials in The Boathouse restaurant from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the University of North Florida, Building 59, Student Union, Room 2600.

The Lord has used the dark, difficult times in my life as well as His daily blessings in my life to mold me and make me into the person I am today,â? she said. â??My original lyrics reflect my life journey with God, and I feel He wants me to use those life experiences to give others hope and to point them to Him.â? 2:45 pm - 3:45 pmUniversity of North Florida , 1 UNF Drive, Jacksonville, Florida 32226 Fri, 15 Apr 2011 14:45:00 -0000 http://oldcity.com/calendar-details.php?id=694 Enjoy a Sunset and full Moonrise from the most unique perspective of all...

Frank has been a volunteer with the Marineland Right Whale Project since its inception in 2000, and has monitored and photographed these 50-ton animals as they visit the coastal waters off Flagler Beach each winter. Pregnant right whales, often accompanied by other adults and curious juveniles, come to Northeast Florida waters to give birth to calves. Coming close to shore, the whales are easily visible along the coast, even without binoculars.Frank Gromling has been involved in every aspect of the project along a 70-nautical mile stretch of coast. His interest and experience led him to write a book to educate the public about the plight of the North Atlantic right whale and to highlight the tremendous work being done by citizen-volunteers. Frank's Whales is a first hand account of his participation in the project and how volunteers can make a difference. The book will be available for purchase at the presentation.Reservations are not required but are appreciated; please contact Lauren Swanson at (386) 517-2086 or via email at Lauren.Swanson@dep.state.fl.us.

Seibles' streetwise, syncopated poems zero in on such wide-ranging subjects as basketball, sex, dogs, race in America, and the inner thoughts of cartoon characters. "This is not a poetry of a highfalutin' violin nor the somber cello," wrote Sandra Cisneros, "but a melody you heard somewhere that followed you home." Reginald McKnight testifies, "...you'll at times feel bruised, at times made love to. I read a lot of poetry. I've never read poetry like this." Seibles moves, as he says, "between the polarities of delight and rage." In addition to his five books of poetry, most recently Hammerlock (1999), Seibles' poems have appeared widely in journals such as The Kenyon Review and Black American Literary Forum, as well as in the anthologies Outsiders, Verse and Universe, In Search of Color Everywhere, A Way Out of No Way, and New American Poets in the 90's. 7:00 pm - 9:00 pmGamache-Koger Theater: Flagler College , 50 Sevilla Street, St. Augustine, Florida 32084 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:00:00 -0000 http://oldcity.com/calendar-details.php?id=343 Travel back in time and experience the journey to Fort Mose.

Tuggle, the Director of the Journalism Program at the University of North Carolina atChapel Hill. Tuggle began work on this film with his 2 daughters and former students during ateaching trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina in the summer of 2009. The UNF Screening is sponsored by the Department of Communication and the American Democracy Project.It is the story of a period in Argentinaʼs history known as The Dirty War, when a military dictatorship controlled the country. From 1976-1983, human rights advocates estimate as many as 30,000 people were tortured and killed, 500 of whom were pregnant women or new mothers. In many cases, it is believed the babies born to these women were taken away and given to supporters of the military. The film tells the story of a group of women, Las Abuelas (the grandmothers). Since the kidnappings in the 70s and 80s, these women have made it their lifeʼs mission to find these children, many of whom are now in their 30s.The film focuses on the basic question: â??Is the right to know who you are a basic human right?â?Through more than 40 in-depth interviews, historical material and relevant literature, Tuggle and his two daughters, both graduates of the UNC School of Journalism, Brynne Miller and Bethany Parker, along with the help of several others affiliated with UNC seek to educate people about what happened in Argentina and the work that is still continued today by Las Abuelas.When: Tuesday, February 21, 2012Time: Film-7:00 p.m. Live Q&A with producers-8:00 p.m.Where: UNF English Language Program Auditorium; Bldg. 14E/1700 7:00 pm - 9:00 pmUniversity of North Florida , 1 UNF Drive, Jacksonville, Florida 32224 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 19:00:00 -0000 http://oldcity.com/calendar-details.php?id=513 The Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine has announced its schedule of liturgies for Ash Wednesday, February 22.Ashes will be blessed and distributed during Masses at 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. as well as at 7:00 p.m.The distribution of ashes will also take place during a Service of the Word of God at 12:00 noon and at Evening Prayer at 5:00 p.m.All liturgies will take place at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, 38 Cathedral Place. 7:00 am - 7:00 pmCathedral Basilica , 38 Cathedral Place, St. Augustine, Florida 32084 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 07:00:00 -0000 http://oldcity.com/calendar-details.php?id=119 The Saw Doctors are an Irish rock band.

The offspring of famous musicians often have a hard time creating a career for themselves, yet Hank Williams, Jr. is one of the few to develop a career that is not only successful, but markedly different from his legendary father. Originally, Hank Jr. simply copied and played his father's music, but as he grew older, he began to carve out his own niche and it was one that owed as much to country-rock as it did to honky tonk. In the late '70s, he retooled his image to appeal both to outlaw country fans and rowdy Southern rockers. His makeover was successful, resulting in a string of Top Ten singles -- including the number one hits "Texas Women," "Dixie on My Mind," "All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)," "Honky Tonkin'," and "Born to Boogie."

The four women have contributed to the arts in four distinct ways. Kay Burtin is known for her countless hours and dedication at the Saint Augustine Art Association. Dr. Sister Couture has created, restored and taught the art of stained glass all over Saint Johns County. Barbara Minckley shares the joys of classical music through her work with EMMA, local music non-profit organizations, and on Flagler College Radio. Shirley Bryce has brought the art of storytelling into our schools and throughout the county as a result of her association with The Tale Tellers of Saint Augustine.Two young women have been selected to receive the 2012 Junior ROWITA Fellowship this year. Anna Styron and Lisa Paper will each receive $500 to help further their studies in the arts. Anna Styron, a senior at Allen D. Nease High School, received the Performing Arts Fellowship while Lisa Paper, a senior at St. Augustine High School, received the Literary Arts Fellowship. The Junior ROWITA Fellowship was started in 2011 to recognize and reward graduating high school women who plan to develop their artistic skills through continued study and training.Established in 2009 to help celebrate Women's History Month, the ROWITA (Recognizing Outstanding Women in the Arts) awards are the result of a coalition of six arts organizations that worked together to establish a recognition program during Women's History Month (March). "ROWITA represents lifetime achievement and is awarded to women who have made significant contributions to the St. Johns County arts community," explains Dr. Gail Pflaster, the founder of the award. "There was no one in the community celebrating our local women arts leaders, so I contacted Joy D'Elia, who was then the Program Coordinator of the Saint Johns Cultural Council. Together, we put together a coalition of local arts groups and came up with a way to honor the women who have helped to create the vibrant arts scene in Saint Johns County that we all enjoy. In an effort to streamline the process and ensure its longevity, the recognition responsibilities have been handed over to the Saint Johns Cultural Council."The Recognition Ceremony at the Limelight Theatre is free and open to the general public. 5:30 pm - 6:30 pmLimelight Theatre , 11 Old Mission Avenue, St. Augustine, Florida 32084 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 17:30:00 -0000 http://oldcity.com/calendar-details.php?id=450 Enjoy the very best: - 20 Wines for tasting - Signature desserts - Heavy hors d'oeuvres 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm JJ's Liberty Bistro , 330 A1A North, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida 32082 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 18:00:00 -0000 http://oldcity.com/calendar-details.php?id=636 On March 26th at 7pm, Melanie Cain-Stage, President of HAWKE, the Humane Association of Wildlife Care and Education, will give a presentation discussing how HAWKE works and the roles it has played in the community.

That integration shone through their music, as well as the group's message. Before The Family Stone, very few soul and R&B groups delved into political and social commentary; after, it became a tradition in soul, funk, and hip-hop. Along with James Brown, The Family Stone brought hard funk into the mainstream.

To the delight of fans, the three hit-making artists will appear on stage, together as one band, to perform a show consisting of their signature mix of blue-eyed soul, rock, jazz and R&B. Rolling Stone has described the show as "a loose blast through the stars" hits ('Reelin' in the Years,' 'Lowdown,' 'Takin' It to the Streets') and revved-up covers that had the crowd twisting in the aisles." With the revamped 2012 "The Dukes of September Rhythm Revue," Fagen, McDonald and Scaggs are giving fans an unprecedented opportunity to hear them delve deep into their individual classic catalogs of music, along with selected hits and tributes to their influences. Back in 2010, The Las Vegas Review Journal raved, "When it came to the playlist, no guys are going to come up with a hipper mix tape for you than Donald Fagen, Boz Scaggs and Michael McDonald," while the Boston Herald described how "the Dukes raided the past, coming up with chestnuts from soul legends, rock 'n' roll architects and hippie icons... It was great to see them embrace a set no one imagined they'd do in 1977." The Dukes have once again assembled a stellar band for the occasion, and will be accompanied by Jon Herington (guitar); Freddie Washington (bass); Shannon Forest (drums); Michael Leonhart, Walt Weiskopf and Jay Collins (horns); Jim Beard (organ); plus background singers Carolyn Leonhart and Catherine Russell.SHOW: The Dukes of September Rhythm RevueVENUE: St. Augustine AmphitheatreDATE: Friday, July 27, 2012TIME: Doors 7:00pm / Show 8:00pmTICKET PRICES: $88 seated pit; $68 section 100 and 200; $48 section 300 CONTACT: Erik Stein & Eve Samuels / Scoop Marketing / 818-761-6100 / estein@solters.com & esamuel@solters.comLOCAL CONTACT: Natacha McLeod / Marketing and Community Relations Manager / 904-209-3751 / nmcleod@sjcfl.us 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm St. Augustine Amphitheatre , 1340C A1A South, St. Augustine, Florida 32080 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 19:00:00 -0000 http://oldcity.com/calendar-details.php?id=930 English progressive rock band Yes will perform at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre on Saturday, July 28th, with special guest Procol Harum.

Over the course of its three albums â?? 1992â??s double-platinum 40oz. to Freedom, 1994â??s gold Robbinâ?? the Hood, and 1996â??s 6x-platinum self-titled major-label debut â?? the band has now sold more than 17 million albums worldwide. Nowell died of a heroin overdose two months prior to the release of Sublime, which reached No. 13 on the Billboard Top 200, sold six million copies, and spawned such hits as â??What I Got,â? â??Santeria,â? and â??Wrong Way,â? which remain radio staples across with country. Profoundly affected by Nowellâ??s death, Wilson never considered performing the groupâ??s music live without their frontman.It took the talent and enthusiasm of Rome Ramirez â?? a genial, now 23-year-old newcomer and gifted songwriter and musician â?? to change that. Growing up in the Bay Area, Rome was introduced to Sublimeâ??s music by his uncle, and credits the band with inspiring him to first pick up a guitar and learn to play at age 11. â??It was the first time I ever really wanted to make music as opposed to just listen to it,â? he says. Rome began singing and writing songs as a teenager and was playing solo gigs around the Bay Area when he met Wilson (the two were recording at the same studio).
