Mark “M.E.” Edwards- Exclusive Performance & BBQ Luncheon at the Artmore



DataReport Consulting LLC is proud to announce an exclusive music-filled BBQ within the beautiful open-air courtyard at none other than the renowned Artmore Hotel on Friday, September 16th. In celebration, beginning at noon, the first 100 attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy a complimentary lunch!

Guests will be treated to a special live performance by guitarist and songwriter Mark “M.E.” Edwards of the veteran U.S. Power Metal band Overlorde. The performance will feature his unique and not to be missed “One Man Show” consisting of both original and cover heavy rock & metal instrumentals. He will also be joined by singers for a number of songs. Special guest vocalists confirmed to join M.E. onstage include the acclaimed Norm Skinner (Imagika) and much-admired Paul LaPlaca (Chris Caffery Band). Some of these songs will be original music that hasn’t been performed live in 10 or 20 years.

The following video is from M.E.’s recent show opening for ZO2. Here, Paul LaPlaca comes together with M.E. to perform the FREE song “WISHING WELL”; an adaptation primarily based upon the version by the legendary Gary Moore and fatefully performed just 8 days before his passing.

Very cool! Mark is a good guy. This should be fun!

 

[TychoCelchu]

This is really, really cool.

 

[General Zod]

Cool. Glad to hear Mark is doing this.

 

[mattbrood]

Sweet! Will there be hot wings?? :hotjump:

 

[ZaneF2010]

Do you have to be a guest at the Artmore to attend this?

 

[Harvester]

To clarify...

You do not have to be a guest at the Artmore to attend.

As for the food, there will be enough to serve 100. If there are leftovers, then I'm sure 101+ will be served.

 

[GoRillaBoy76]

so odds are if you are arriving on Wed. and staying at the Artmore then you are likely to invlolved in this. Awesome.

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

SWEET! Thank you, Sensei!

This is a cool little addition to the festivities. In fact, I think I'm most excited about seeing Paul LaPlaca. Any of the Powermad folks on the forum should remember him from the band October Thorns. I really, really miss that band. Paul is an incredible performer and a talented multi-instrumentalist. I hope I can get what I'm expecting to be my tired ass over to the Artmore early enough that Friday to see this!


Stay metal. Never rust.

I'll just sleep in one of the planters between Thursday and Friday to make sure I am one of the first 100....

 

[Dave@BEC]

Very Cool!

Hey everyone. Thanks for the positive words! I'll be posting information about some of the songs I'll be doing with Norm and Paul in these months leading up to the show. But I can tell you that one of the songs is Renn Faire related. Written around 1989, it is one of the songs I am proudest of. It was inspired by the New York Renaissance Faire. Given that Renn Faires are popular with many members of the ProgPower community, and obviously such themes are a big part of Prog & Power metal especially, I think it will prove to be a highlight of the performance!

I look forward to sharing the experience and stage with these talented individuals, and hope to have another vocalist or two onstage to sing or do background vocals. In fact, if any other vocalists attending are interested in joining me onstage (including those vocalists already performing that weekend), I invite them drop me a line in advance to work it out. My email is meATmeflyingv.com.

Hey everyone. Just a note to say that Paul LaPlaca had suggested that we write a song together specifically to perform at the BBQ. This will be our first writing collaboration.

We have been swapping WAV files and I think you are gonna like it! Should be one of the highlights of the show....

P.S. Check out this little feature at METAL UNDERGROUND.

 

[MEFlyingV]

Check out www.karlsmetal.com. The "Spotlight Metal track" is my song SPUR OF THE MOMENT, which I will be performing at the BBQ. The site also features pictures from my recent show where I performed with my Overlorde bandmate Bobby Lucas (ex Seven Witches, Exhibition) for the first time ever outside of Overlorde.

Hey all. I issued an update. Check it out here:

And feel free to venture a guess as to who the singer is that I will be announcing later this week...

Cool - hope to get to check this out. I remember getting to hang out with you at the pool for a bit a couple of years back at the Courtyard Marriot.
