Two Great Shows Coming<br />
By: Evan Davis / Entertainment Editor<br />
Chadwick Johnson will be celebrating<br />
songs of the “Piano Men” in his premier<br />
debut in Sun City MacDonald Ranch’s Showroom<br />
with songs from Elton John, Ray Charles,<br />
Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, and others.<br />
This will be a ticketed show sure to sell out at only $25. The<br />
7:00 pm show on Saturday September 11, will allow you to<br />
have an early bird dinner or late-night snack. Maybe both.<br />
Chadwick Johnson is a singer/songwriter who approaches the craft<br />
as a storyteller, creating soul stirring compositions. We may even get<br />
him to perform one or two of his original hit songs.<br />
In live performances, he has shared the stage with such music icons<br />
as Olivia Newton John, Katharine McPhee, and Susan Anton.<br />
In his personal life, Chadwick is a horseman, and enjoys training<br />
horses and competing as a<br />
Team Roper in Rodeo events.<br />
Maybe he’ll tell us some<br />
horse stories.<br />
Just a quick blurb on<br />
our October 16 th show, once<br />
again at Sun City MacDonald<br />
Ranch, which will feature<br />
the Broadway Music of<br />
TOM Lehrer, GEORGE<br />
Gershwin, IRVING Berlin<br />
& FRANK Loesser. Bruce<br />
Ewing has put a starstudded<br />
cast, which includes<br />
singers Brenda Mandabach and Kevan Patriquin. They will all<br />
be accompanied by the genius of Philip Fortenberry on piano.<br />
What other clubs are in town that you may not be too familiar with?<br />
On the Jazz, blues, soul scene we have a place called Classic Jewel on E.<br />

and is called The Gambit. Also, occasional fund raiser jazz performances<br />
