Summer Concert Series #5: Mo Pitney

August 27, 2018

Highlighted as “One of the strongest male vocalists to come along in some time…”, Billboard Magazine has named Mo Pitney as a hot country artist to watch…”  Mo Pitney is a legitimate Nashville “Country” star.   He has played the Grand Old Opry as well as internationally.  When Mo Pitney sings “let me tell you about country” in his debut single, he’s doing more than telling. He’s showing. Appropriately titled, the song “Country” is as much positioning statement as introduction. In three minutes and 16 seconds, it is almost precisely who he is in word and deed. The vocal delivery, storytelling, musicianship and reflections of his outdoor lifestyle – as well as faith, family and patriotism – offer a spot-on portrayal.

Choctaw Lake 2018 Summer Concert Series

March 16, 2018

by Dan Blazer

The Choctaw Lake Summer Concert Series for 2018 promises to be very, very exciting year.

Returning from last year will be our 2 most popular acts, Ashley Martin (a country/pop singer) and Soul Express (a funk/soul band) both from Dayton, OH.  Both acts gave us great shows and received very positive feedback.

Perhaps most exciting is our featured act for this year, Mo Pitney, a country singer from Nashville.  Mo was named as one of Billboard magazine’s “hottest country singers to watch.”  He has had multiple single releases, the most popular called “Country” which reached #40 on the charts.  Opening for Mo will be Matt Prater, another Nashville resident country singer.

The Temps, from Springfield, will play in August and will entertain us with their upbeat renditions of dance cover music from the 80’s to today.

Last, but not least is one of our own, Ernie Sparks and his band called “Rendition.”  They play classic oldies and feature a large horn section which adds tremendous depth and interest to the band.

Choctaw Lake wants to thank Ernie Sparks and “The Medicine Shoppe” for sponsoring our concerts this year.  Here are the dates and acts.

May 26 (Sat) – Ashley Martin

June 23 (Sat) – Soul Express

July 14 (Sat) – Rendition Band

August 18 (Sat) – The Temps

September 2 (Sun) – Mo Pitney & Matt Prater

Booster Club Junkyard Boat Derby, a Poem

July 24, 2017

If you’re feeling rather funky

‘Cause your boat looks really junky,

And it’s also kinda clunky,

Off your back, just get that monkey!

 

If you like to rescue junk

from your grandma’s attic trunk

All you need’s a little spunk

To assemble it with gunk.

 

You may seem rather brash

Rooting through your neighbor’s trash,

But if you want to make a splash

Join in the junkyard dash.

See you at the beach Sunday, September 3rd, at the 15th Booster Club Junkyard Boat Derby. Check the Junkyard Derby event page for rules and details.
