calendar PERRY PLAYERS PRESENT “LADDY SARTIN’S CATFISH MOON” MAY 3 - 12 The old fishing pier out on the end of Cypress Lake has just fallen under the magic of another Catfish Moon. It was the favorite hangout for three best friends when they were kids—skipping school, skinny dipping and even experiencing the mysteries of kissing girls. Now Curley, Gordon and Frog are older, and they have tasted the bitterness of life as well as the sweetness, and the pressures and problems that come with middle age have eroded the closeness between Frog and Gordon. The final straw comes when Frog discovers that Gordon is dating his exwife. Curley, the "big brother" of the bunch, in an attempt to recapture the friendship and settle all disputes, convinces Frog and Gordon to go on an overnight fishing trip like old times. On the pier, the weight of adulthood is lifted by laughter and their love of fishing, and the three guys discover that their friendship was never really lost. However, in the midst of catching the biggest fish of all time, life brings them back to a painful reality. The poignant resolution of the play brings Gordon and Frog to the realization that life is too precious and too short to let true friendship get away.

He’ll be playing the CMT music awards and dropping in to Perry, GA in October. Tickets just $30! Advance purchase includes Fair admission. Hunter’s story? The Country Music Association’s choice as the best New Artist of 2012 earned his trophy because of his intense, single-minded dedication to his music. Hunter Hayes works at his craft virtually every waking hour. In his world, there are no days off. There are no hobbies or outside interests. Everything is focused on musical self-improvement. “With me, it’s always going to be music,” he states. “That’s the one thing I know. That is my thing. That is my place. I make music because it’s
the only way I can breathe. This is how I want to spend the rest of my life.” The barn-burning “Storm Warning” became the collection’s debut Gold Single. His gripping ballad “Wanted” soared to No. 1 and is quickly nearing Double Platinum status, lilting, groove-soaked “Somebody’s Heartbreak” has become the album’s third major hit –becoming a Top 30 hit in only two weeks and was most added week of release.
OCTOBER 12, 7:30PM Thompson Square CMA & ACM Vocal Duo of the Year! Thompson Square is an American country music duo composed of husband and wife Keifer and Shawna Thompson. Powered by a trio of hit singles including the No. 1 double-platinum-selling "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not" as well as "I Got You" and "Glass," Thompson Square swept the 2012 Vocal Duo awards (CMA, ACM, CMT, ACA). "Kiss" was the most-heard song at country radio in 2011 (Mediabase), and secured multiple-week runs atop the sales and ringtone charts as well as two GRAMMY nominations. Major media (Leno, Kimmel, Conan and more) and major tours (Jason Aldean, Lady Antebellum, Luke Bryan) put them in front of tens of millions of viewers and two million concert goers. Thompson Square is also the only established married duo to ever receive CMA Vocal Duo of the Year honors. Keifer and Shawna Thompson’s hot streak continued when they won the ACM Vocal Duo of the Year honors for the 2nd consecutive year in April 2013. $30.00

In this coming of age, bloody, PG comedyromance, Bobby teams up with Sara and learns that Zombies are not what he has always imagined them to be. He is now forced to grow up and become a man. Bobby vies for Sara’s affections as the two adapt to this new world. Along the way, they discover a comical way to divert the Zombies. “THE NERD” PRESENTED BY MACON LITTLE THEATRE THRU MAY 19TH Talented playwright Larry Shue’s career was cut short by his tragic death in a plane crash in 1985. He left behind two popular comedies, “The Foreigner” and “The Nerd”. Due to last season’s enthusiastic reaction to “The Foreigner”, we will be presenting his equally riotous, “The Nerd”. One of the funniest plays ever written, this extraordinarily inventive, side-splitting comedy was first presented by the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre, produced in Great Britain, then went on to Broadway. The action centers on the hilarious dilemma of a young architect who is visited by a man he’s never met but who saved his life in Vietnam— the visitor turning out to be an incredibly inept, hopelessly stupid “nerd” who outstays his welcome with a vengeance. Be prepared for an evening of glee and unmitigated fun. Prices: Adults - $18.00 Seniors (60 up) $15.00 Students (Up to 23) - $10. All shows start at 8:00 PM except for Sunday Matinees which start at 2:30 PM. 4220 Forsyth Rd.

Local musician and sound engineer Joey Stuckey with producer Alan Parsons
NOW HIRING highly motivated people.
IN HIS OWN WORDS MEETING THE EYE IN THE SKY BY JOEY STUCKEY - EMAIL HIM AT JOEY@JOEYSTUCKEY.COM
“
In mid-February of this year, I had an amazing opportunity to work with and learn from one of my musical heroes and one of the great producers, Alan Parsons. If somehow you don’t know who that is (though I am not sure how this would be possible), Alan has been the producer and/or recording engineer with some of the most iconic bands/artists. His list of credits includes the Beatles and Pink Floyd. He’s also a great performer and songwriter and, of course founder of the group “The Alan Parsons’ Project.” I met Alan and his team at the famous Nashville studio ‘Oceanway,’ where Alan was producing three up and coming artists that had won a song-writing contest, held at the renowned Blue Bird Café. Working alongside Alan to make these recordings into audio sculptures was transcendent. I was honored to be able to lend my ear to the process and learn from the master. So what does my experience with Alan Parsons mean? Well, it’s my intention to bring to this column recording tips, tricks and other music business knowledge that will assist in maximizing your musical craft. I learned a few great things from the great Alan Parsons I want to share: Let me begin by saying that Alan is old school, and that is a good thing. In this modern world of digital technology, we can so easily fall in to the trap of copying and pasting in our music production. Okay, it makes it easier if you aren’t a musical virtuoso to get consistent performances. It might save a little time and in some genres, it’s even expected - much like the ubiquitous Auto Tune effect that has been used by almost every major artist from Cher, to TPain and even Faith Hill. But, it does something else - it makes the recording a little sterile. I am not saying I have never copied and pasted when working on a production. Again, there is a place for that, but Alan almost never does this and you will see that it’s what gives his recording extra depth and life. Try it in your own recording and see what it does for you: you may find that it is the difference between something okay and something special. Here is another way cool trick Alan has used with the Beatles and Pink Floyd (I
am told he does it on almost every session): Many times in recording, we use a process called stacking. This means that you record the same part twice. Some people mistakenly think that if you copy a track, it will do the same thing as stacking. Well, this is not a good understanding of the technique. If you copy a track, you just have two of the exact same things, there is no difference at all in the two tracks and they are exact copies. However, if you perform the part twice, no matter how good you are and how perfectly you match what you did before, (being human) you can’t exactly duplicate the recording. There will be minor differences. It’s these differences that make the process work and produce the thickening effect that we love. Alan takes this concept further by actually recording one track in standard tuning and then stacks the part, one cent flat. Sometimes he will do another track, so he is now not doubling, but, tripling the stack. This last track he will tune one cent sharp. It is important to do the flat track first, not the sharp as the human ear perceives the flat notes more readily than the sharp notes. This means that you will have a more noticeable difference with recording a track tuned flat. Another way to think about this trick is to think of it as the most musical chorus effect you have ever heard. You guitarists out there will know exactly what I mean. Personally, I think the triple tracking effect described here is a little much for most genres, but, it does have its place. Again, try it for yourself. The amazing thing about art is that it is different for each person. What is right for one artist, may not be right for another. Sometimes it is our mistakes or unintentional creations that make our art truly memorable. I look forward to answering your musical questions in future columns and being of service in bringing more everything to your artistic endeavors.

BABE + SAGE FARM DESIGNS ON HEALTHY LIVING BY ANGEL COLLINS
As a consumer, it is hard to get a grasp on our health. We are given conflicting information with all avenues appearing to have documentation for their way of thinking. It almost takes a religious faith to believe either side, or resort to an atheistic view of food and just not care whether the manipulation of food DNA will cause real harm or kill us. Here in Macon, we are really beginning to see a big push to recognize food for what it is. Whether we know someone with celiac’s, which is the body’s inability to process gluten (which is found in many more things than bread) or whether we have seen the growth in childhood obesity and recognize that there are very few products that do not contain some form of sugar or high fructose corn syrup, there has been a persistent movement to help us find a place to buy produce that are grown locally, based on organic standards, or meat that is grass fed, hormone free, and organic. Many farms are interested in working with people, young and old, who want to know more about and get involved in local farming and organic farming. Davis Farm has long made it a practice to educate the public and accept interns on their farm. One of the newest farmers on the scene hoping to make a big impact in local farm development as well as help connect landowners and young farmers in a financially feasible way that benefits both parties is Babe and Sage Farms. Babe and Sage Farms was started by Chelsea Losh and Bobby Jones in 2011. Working with the Oetter Family in 10 MAY 2013
Gordon, they found a leasing agreement that would help the “accidental” farmers they had degrees in English Literature and Liberal Studies respectively before falling in love with farming after working on farms in West Virginia and North Carolina - and the landowners both feel satisfied with the arrangements. Now, Babe and Sage Farm only wants to increase the knowledge and understanding of locally sourced, organic, sustainable farming for the community at large. We have come so far from our agriculture past that some children have no idea where food comes from, other than the grocery store. In a lot of ways, most of us don’t know how our food is grown, what it takes to get food to where we are, nor do we understand the advantages that local farming affords us. There are two sides in the food story, at least the bigger story that gets told in film and news. Monsanto and companies like it champion food technology. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs), seeds that only grow for a season, fertilizers that tries to kill anything that crawls. We’ve experienced more productivity with fewer farms because of technology in farming. There is no way we can deny that technology has aided in farming. In the 1950s, a single farm would produce enough for 15 people here and abroad. By the end of the 1970s, just 30 years later, a single farm was feeding a little over 75 people in the US and abroad. In the time it took from my mom’s birth to my own, farm production had grown by 200%.
Technology has done wonders for farming, from growing, to tilling, to transporting. Yet in all of this, the other side - Food Inc. and those who champion the “real” food side - has brought to bear the dangers that go along with the benefits of technology. Genetic modification has not truly been vetted on its safety for human consumption. Wheat bred for more gluten has exposed the inability of some people to process it, corn bred to be the basis of all things may be the source of the increase in childhood obesity, cotton bred to be more hardy may be helping create bugs that are immune to organic pesticides. Genetic modification in food has been linked to everything from childhood diabetes to suicide of farmers in India. Even if it’s good for a short time, the biggest thing the farming community is finding is that genetic modification is building a heartier pest. While Babe and Sage does not work with genetically modified seeds, they are worried about the impact GMOs have on pests. “There have been reports of Round Up-resistant pigweed in South Georgia and Colorado Potato Beetles developing resistance to Bt from genetically-modified potatoes,” said Bobby. “Bt is a bacterial concentration used in both conventional and organic agriculture as a natural pesticide for many beetle pests. So, if that resistance were to spread, it could have pretty big consequences for our farm, not to mention our national food supply.”
According to the USDA, 27% of farm operators said they were 65 years of age or older. In fact, the fear that advanced age will lead to a mass exodus, possibly even a close, of older family farms has been theorized. Yet there are many sources that point to young people who are interested in communal living and locally sourced, organic farming taking the chance to get out there. If you consider that most farms are consolidating, becoming increasingly more productive with less employees and less land just to remain competitive, you can begin to see the obstacles limiting the number of young farmers entering the fray. Money for land, the cost for equipment, and education on what it takes to operate a farm as a business, as well as the low return on investment would normally be deterrents for those under the age of 40 becoming farmers, yet the need to impact our food system, to bring back a sense of trust on the part of the consumer, and to be a part of a sustainable, organic, movement as we begin to see the hazards in where
farming has taken us in the last few decades has drawn idealistic Gen-Xers and millennials from all walks of life and different professions into farming. In the middle Georgia area, we have slowly been increasing awareness of the need for foods grown locally. On April 7, 2007, City Market on the Green opened at the bottom of Poplar Street. A collaboration between the City of Macon, NewTown Macon, and a local farmers’ group, the market endeavored to bring locally grown produce from small farms to the citizens of Macon. When the Wesleyan Market opened, the Saturday market vendors were split over where to be. Some would go to Wesleyan hoping that the North Macon crowd would be bigger than the downtown crowd. Eventually the entire Market would go to Wesleyan University for that Saturday and then open the remaining Saturdays downtown. By April 6, 2011, the Mulberry Street Market was opened. For a few months people were able to have two organic, locally produced grocery shopping days. By winter, City Market on the Green was no more. If it were not for the push that Davis Farms and the other farmers who helped start City Market on the Green with the City of Macon and NewTown, we would still be ignorant of the possibilities for local, organic foods in our area. Despite losing the Saturday City Market on the Green, both the Mulberry Street Market and the Wesleyan Market has grown significantly. Not only have we seen an increase in the number of small scale farmers providing produce to the people of Macon, but we’ve also been introduced to grass fed, no hormone beef, chicken (and eggs), and pork. Six years ago, people would never have thought of paying the extra cost for these foods, but the food education we have received, and the growth of locally sourced, organic food advocates, both in Macon and nationally, has made the Market a big component in the growth of Macon’s understanding of food. Babe and Sage Farms is one of the newest vendors in Macon. They are not unique in scope, although they have been fortunate enough to meet a landowner willing to lease them land for what they want that is not only fair and financially feasible for the farmers but also fair and equitable for the landowner. “I am very passionate about land tenure options for young farmers,” said Bobby. “Last year, I wrote an article and spoke on a workshop panel at Georgia Organics about land lease agreements. I feel like that is a critical

piece to the good food movement that we may have gotten right at Babe + Sage. We have a long-term lease agreement on our property that protects our investment and protects our landowner's investment. I think we are also fortunate to have found a family who owns this property who sees our presence at their farm as an asset. You know, vacant farm land doesn't take care of itself and doesn't pay the property taxes. There are lots of energetic young people like us who have little capital but lots of energy and knowledge about growing and running a farm. The missing link seems to be an equitable and sustainable link between the two. That's what I really hope we can teach to other aspiring farmers out there.” They both laugh a little when they talk about being young farmers because it is something they are passionate about. “Before we even began farming, we watched a trailer for the Greenhorns, a documentary about young farmers across the country. It sounds so cheesy to say that farming, one of the oldest occupations, feels like this new and exciting movement, but sometimes it does feel like we are a part of this big new thing!” said Bobby. “I think we are coming to a time in this country where the way we think about food and land and community and the basic elements of life is undergoing a quiet but drastic re-thinking. Some days, it feels like our farm is just a tiny part of it all, but others it does feel like we are somehow a part of something bigger.” Babe and Sage is very interested in helping anyone interested in learning about farming. Not only do they educate consumers at the Mulberry Street Market and the Greenway Farmer’s Market in Milledgeville, but they also host events on their farm for the purpose of education. Chelsea is very passionate about organizing young farmers, both on a local level and a political level. “We just launched a Middle Georgia chapter of Crop Mob, an organization that hosts work days for aspiring farmers or just people who are interested in local food at local farms. We are also trying to organize a Middle Georgia Farmers Alliance to give a coherent marketing, educational, logistical, and political voice for growers in the area.” Not only are they trying to help young farmers, but they are also trying to contribute to the community at large. “In a larg-

er sense, I think that we would like to impact the communities we are a part of by encouraging people be healthier, not just by eating good food, but by sharing good food with each other,” enthused Chelsea. “We hope to build a community of "foodies" by being a place that people can come to gather and not only learn about food, but also to learn about natural farming practices and being a part of the healing food system. We hope that by hosting potlucks (once a season) and Farm Dinners (first Sundays!) we can encourage people to not only learn about where the food comes from, but also to learn a little more about each other. We plan to spend our free time celebrating the food we love with the people we love and we hope that we can encourage our customers to do the same!” Babe and Sage Farm is a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), which allows people to buy a “farm share” in Babe and Sage and reap the benefits of that purchase in veggies, bread, and eggs. They host classes on the farm as well as host Farm Dinners. Ranging from $25-$40 per person. They have also built a brick oven on the farm, thanks to supporters and Kickstarter, in which they bake their breads. They can be found at the Mulberry Street Market on Wednesdays where shareholders can pick up their Farm Shares and customers can choose from a selection of veggies and bread from them as well as their fellow farmers and The Greenway Market in Milledgeville on Saturdays.

THE SCENE Q&A with SOUTHERN ROCKER DON BARNES, Exclusive Bar & Music Schedule, Go Hear believe. Cool, I just read his book. That was pretty wild.
THE INTERVIEW
DON BARNES Co-founder of the southern rock band 38 Special Headlining Macon’s Cherry Blossom Festival street party, 38 Special is still rocking after more than three decades. Their many Gold and Platinum album awards stand in testament to the endurance of a legendary powerhouse. With sales in excess of 20 million, most associate the band with their arena-rock pop smashes, “Hold On Loosely,” “Rockin’ Into the Night,” “Caught Up in You,” “Fantasy Girl,” “If I’d Been the One,” “Back Where You Belong,” “Chain Lightnin’,” “Second Chance,” and more – Timeless hits that remain a staple at radio, immediately recognizable from the first opening chord, and paving the way to their present-day touring regimen. The co-founders of the group, vocalist DONNIE VAN ZANT and guitarist/vocalist DON BARNES, say it's all about maintaining that intensity in their live shows. Publisher Brad Evans was able to talk to Don about their humble beginnings and their experiences on the road, playing southern rock around the globe.
When are you writing one? Well we probably could, as much as we have been through. We’ve got a few decades in this now I suppose. But you know we saw all the decadence and we always felt that we wanted to be smarter than that. Wanted to be around or to be able to enjoy our success if we ever made it. We watched everyone else do a lot of damage to themselves, and tried to stay away from it as much as we could. You know we just got inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame recently, and it’s funny because back in the day we had two drummers and one of them was kind of the Wildman of the group. Well, he came back for the induction. And you couldn’t have a finer group of guys; I mean we all grew up together. We had day jobs, rehearsed every night. Anyway Jack was the Wildman of the group. Anything and everything. He had this big lions man of hair, had all the women. And today he’s traveling the world as an evangelist minister, and he does testimony on his days as a rock star. He’s very happy, and it was great to see him all again. How is touring different now that you guys are older? Is being on stage different? Physically yes. We used to have walls of amps right behind us blaring. So you can imagine we all have hearing issues. Everything was always turned up to 11, now we have in ear monitors, and everything seems to be a little more contained. Not so by the seat of our pants anymore. Probably a few more tennis shoes on stage these days? Yeah, I still have to wear the boots though, I feel like a warrior by doing it, but I have to.
ry. It holds like 23,000 people. We were invited to play there, and our handlers and managers told us not too, they were afraid we couldn’t fill it up on our own. They were all worried about ticket sales. But we decided to take that risk. We got in there and 23,000 people came and sold that place out. That was a big triumph for us. I won’t ever forget that. We had some sad times too, with the Skynyrd Crash. I went to the crash site with Ronnie’s dad, and Donnie stayed with his mother. Going through all that. I saw his dad trying to keep the spirits up for the rest of the band. They didn’t know what had happened to Ronnie. But his dad kept going to their hospital beds and telling them that he was just fine, because he didn’t want that getting in the way of their healing. I’d never seen anything like that. Wow. That’s a pretty big part of Rock History to be a part of. Yeah, you know Donnie and I had flown on that plane the week before. It was an old plan. And you know the history of it, with flames shooting out of the engine the night before. I wouldn’t have booked a commercial airline, I think, had I seen that. Especially with history and aviation and rock stars not going together so well. Yeah. It’s funny you mention that. You know Skynyrd had a rehearsal space right next to ours. When we rehearsed, we’d just walk next door and listen to them. We got to see the most seasoned guys in the world play, which was huge for us. I remember them writing “Sweet home Alabama,” and I remember thinking how weird the phrasing was in the song. But I remember them talking about Jim Croce dying in a plan crash, and talking about how scary and tragic that would be. It was pretty prophetic, looking back.
BY BRAD EVANS
Tell me how you got into music? My initial influence was church music, and church hymns. I was influenced by the British Invasion. We all became big guitar giant fans. Hendrix, Clapton and Muddy Waters. We were all big blues fans too. Then in the singing arena, Steve Winwood all of those type people. We were from Jacksonville, which was a big Navy town. So there were a lot of “singles” clubs. So you had folks like Duane Allman, Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, all those guys were coming through, playing those clubs in their early years. So when we were 15 years old, we started playing them too, playing all the popular songs of the day. You could make 100 bucks a week playing, and that was a lot of money as a kid. So we learned all the structures of those kinds of songs, and what kind of goes into making those kinds of songs. So we had that great formation, and you don’t really get that somewhere else. It was one of those things, where we got cocky, and started thinking “hey we can write songs like these,’ Then you know you do that whole “starve for the next ten years’ thing. Was Macon are part of that development at all? As far as Capricorn was involved, no not really. We went through West A and
12 MAY 2013
M records. But of course, were very close with Skynyrd and everything. I think the last time we played Macon was at Cherry Blossom Festival, and tons of people came out, and we had a great time. I’m really looking forward to coming back. Did you ever play Grant’s Lounge? Gosh yes, we did. We played there a couple of times, coming up. Not a whole lot. We of course played the Coliseum later on and such. Grant’s Lounge? Wow, how old are you? I’m 37, but I was there just last week. It’s still open. Still probably just like you remember it. Are you serious? No kidding? There still carpet on the walls? They just had their 42nd anniversary there, and Birnam Wood played. I remember Birnam Wood. I remember seeing Mindbender there; I know a lot of Macon bands came through there. I heard about it more than I was really there. That’s great, that ground zero for Southern Rock is still kicking. Is Greg still living in Macon? No he lives in Richmond Hill, Georgia, I
Willie Nelson told me once that taking his boots off was the best thing that ever happened to him. That’s funny. We played some shows with Willie. It was kind of an odd pairing. But Willie went on like an hour and a half after we did. Our crew drinks a lot of that Red Bull, I don’t drink it but our crew does. Anyway, one of Willie’s people came back into the dressing room asking if we had any Red Bull. He said Willie couldn’t go on without Red Bull. I told him I thought the crew had some. So he went and grabbed like three. I was thinking “wow he drinks three red bulls, if I drink one I’m bouncing off the ceiling.” What would you say your most memorable moment as a musician was? I’d say Nuremburg, Germany. We played this huge music festival there. And everyone was there, Kansas, Foreigner, just everyone was there. But there were about 50,000 people there, hanging off these walls watching us. And Just standing on that stage and looking out at that, and at the statue where Hitler had declared war on the world not to long ago. Just 40 years later, all these rock stars were there. I am a big history fan, so that was a huge memory for me. Also the Meadowlands is a big memo-
Where would you guys be without all the guidance ya’ll got from Ronnie and Skynyrd? I don’t know. I tell you we all grew up together. Ronnie was 4 years older than Donnie. We would see the strength he exuded. I remember telling us not to eat a big mean before you go on stage, because you needed to feel that hunger. I still do that. Going through the hard times too. He was a big proponent of suffering together. When you suffer together as a team you build strength and are able to endure anything. We went through a lot of bad times, so we needed that. I mentioned something at the hall of fame. We had a manager that would bring a cooler of Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches in it. And we were doled out two dollars and fifty cents a day to eat on. We would buy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches from him, and he made out pretty good. But all that helps build a family. And that’s what we are. It’s hard to believe the songs we made, are still being played on the radio. People think “Hold on Lucy”, was the first song, but there were albums that didn’t work before that. It’s work. And Ronnie taught us that. Well we really look forward to hearing you in Macon. Man we look forward to coming, can’t wait.

The Travis Denning Band: Josh Graff - Guitar/Vocals, Jake Johnson - Bass/Vocals, Brad Sorrell - Drums
I first really became a huge fan of music when my dad came home with AC/DC Live. Ever since then, it was rock n' roll all day every day. When I started high school I finally got into the Allman Brothers, and their Live at the Fillmore East album made me want to chase music as a career.
LISTEN UP
THE TRAVIS DENNING BAND
A graduate of Warner Robins High, Travis Denning has been playing regularly around middle Georgia the last couple years, and has garnered a lot of local support. Listen up to...
Who are your influences? Allman Brothers, Alabama, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, George Strait, Levon Helm and The Band What's your favorite moment on stage? One of my favorite times on stage with my current band was the first time we played Milledgeville. We played Buffington's downtown and it was just one of those nights when everything went perfect. We brought out a great crowd that night.
THE SCENE
How would you describe your music? I like to describe us as a great live Country band that's not afraid to step out of the predictable boundaries. Josh brings a lot of blues to the table, Jake and Brad bring such a powerful groove, and our mutual love for bands like the Allman Brothers Band and The Band really take the songs I write to a different level. What do you enjoy most about playing? I just love being able to do what I want to do with some great friends. And I absolutely LOVE to hear people sing along to my music. What's next for Travis Denning Band? We're heading down to Dothan, AL for the Toadlick Music Festival in a few weeks to play along side acts Colt Ford, Luke Bryan, Jake Owen, and Chris Young. Then this summer we're going to start working on a new record. 2013 has had a great start so far for us, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year has to offer.

n the months before their deaths, relatives say Mildred and Jewel Cleveland had struggled living in the same house with Mildred's grown son, Jason Howard. Jobless and socially withdrawn, Howard was a disturbed man who had been committed to a mental institution for schizophrenia following his arrest for robbing a bank. Although his mother thought that Howard could be rehabilitated and insisted that he live with them, relatives say her husband, Jewel, wasn't so sure. Police think that after killing and burying the Clevelands, Jason Howard continued to live in the house. He paid bills, cared for the family pets, and even took a trip to the family's vacation home. With the aid of cadaver dogs, Liberty County police found JASON HOWARD Arrested 4/13/2009 the bodies of Jewel and Mildred Cleveland wrapped in tarps and buried in a 4 Cts Felony Murder barn on June 15, 2004. An autopsy later confirmed that both had been shot in the head and that Mildred had been beaten first. In his own words from a November 1994 note, Howard explained: “Let it be known that I, Jason M. Howard, can be extremely paranoid, therefore as a fugitive I will not only be carrying firearms but explosives as well...I'm not dangerous until I am crossed or cornered, so stay away. Keep away and don't blame me for a dead tactical team.” For the next several years, Howard would live in the woods in Macon, in a camp he constructed out of camouflage tarps and tents and everything else he could find. He was featured on America’s Most Wanted during those years, though he would elude arrest until 2009, when Macon Police found him breaking into a rental car. Some months later, a friend of the 11th Hour, and a cross country runner, came across Howard’s camp in the woods. In it three journals were found. What follows is a page of one of these journals, the first in a series of pages that look inside the head of a suspected killer.
