Taylord Entertainment presents a memorable evening
Atlanta, GA - Oct 31, 2007 Atlanta, GA--Sunday, October 28th marked the 14th annual Showcase of the South hosted by Taylord Entertainment. Up and coming artists from across the country performed at the historic Rialto Center for two packed shows filled with music lovers, industry executives from Universal, Atlantic, Def Jam, So So Def, Jive Records, J Records and Columbia along with several political notables. "This was truly a showcase of talent. The show was diverse, which was an added bonus. It was the best showcase presentation we've seen. I was in a word, proud" says Janol Holmes, vice president of Chuck D's Slam Jam records.
There were several highlights throughout the show including unforgettable performances by Interscope duo Rock City, pre-teen sensation Jacob Latimore and R&B group One Chance. "Rock City is about to be huge, it's no wonder why Akon signed them," remarked host comedian/actor Pierre, "this audience had a chance to see them first." Gospel diva Taralyn Ramsey received multiple standing ovations and inspirational songbird Jamie Thietten was a crowd favorite as well.
Most impressed with the performances were the fifty children from the Bellwood Boys and Girls Club in Atlanta Taylord Entertainment along with the Michael Vick foundation sponsored to come and see the show. "I had the pleasure of watching the kids faces during the performances. Their eyes were literally glued to the stage awaiting each performance. They waved along with Rock City and danced along with One Chance. It was a good feeling," says Enchanted PR president, Christal Jordan-Mims, "Serving the community is what this performance was built on and Frank Taylor has continued to do that."
In addition to the headliners, several up and coming performers received inquiries from labels execs and managers in attendance. "I was asked about several of the performers, Legacy, K Johnson, Purity and Quentin Marcel just to name a few," says Taylord VP, Brian Jennings, "We hope one of the acts receives a good situation as a result of their participation in the show."
In addition to colorful performances and great music, Taylord Entertainment CEO/founder Frank Taylor was surprised with a formal proclamation from Sen. Vincent Forte's office. "We have been blessed. This show is a labor of love and it humbles me to know that others appreciate and share in the vision that we have," Taylor remarked. Taylor was also honored by Showcase of the South sponsor SESAC. "We will be back next year. Taylord managed to get a great group of talent," said Brian Miller, General Manager of the Artist Factory.
"This was our biggest year, but we are already looking ahead to next year," says Frank Taylor. "I'm proud of what we've been able to offer these artists. We are going to continue to provide this service to the best of our ability."
