Second was the Charlotte Music Awards Women in Rock Showcase held at Easy Eddies in Huntersville on July 14th.

This was a stellar night of music.  Everything from country-rock to blues to a southern flair were featured in the performances of  Michelle Leigh, Stellarising, Amy Broome, Brooke McBride, Pam Taylor and Monika Jaymes.  Congrats to the Pam Taylor Band on their being named the showcase winner. Pam Taylor and Monika Jaymes both rocked the house!!

Semper Iuvenis update

July has been a very busy month for us here at Semper Iuvenis.  The transition from Charlotte to the rural area of Morganton in Burke County has been exciting, time consuming and adventurous.  It has taken a year, but we're finally here.

12 wooded acres in a rolling hills setting provides a lot of "back ground" opportunities.  The 1,000 square foot indoor studio space is taking shape weekly.  Brent Enman was our first client as we shot his new CD insert and other promotional materials.

We're working on the logo and associated material.  The new website has been launched and the marketing campaign is ramping up.

More to come.  In the meantime, please visit our website and discover our offerings.

Cheers,

Monty
