Avenue Beat

The summer of 2015 has again been a good one for local country entertainment in our area, and luckily we were able to get interviews with some of the performers who came through.

The ladies of Avenue Beat recently spent some time in the studio with us at KICK-FM, and performed their original song "Gold" for our listeners. Check out this exclusive performance!

It's time for another round of "What's On Your iPod," where we all get a closer insight into what music local celebrities are listening to at the moment, and today we feature the ladies of Avenue Beat. So, Sam Backoff, Sami Bearden and Savana Santos... what's on your iPod?

The 2015 edition of the "Music With a Mission" concert has come and gone, but the residual effects for those benefiting from the show will go on.

Avenue Beat stopped by the KICK-FM studio to give us an update on the group's exciting new projects, including the release of a new EP, doing some co-writing with established Nashville songwriters, and even opening for country acts like the Swon Brothers and Billy Currington!

The former Dick Brothers Brewery building at 9th and York in Quincy has a whole new future in store for it. The buildings owner, Liz Solaro, has spent the last three years converting the landmark into a new "art district." The former bottle house is being converted into a space for artists, shops, performing arts, music and history tours...

The 2015 Dogwood Festival will be extra special, as it celebrates the 175th anniversary of the City of Quincy. The festival will include a parade, concerts downtown featuring a variety of types of music, activities in Washington Park, and more.

The "Music With a Mission" concert will be back at the Adams County Fairgrounds for the second year in 2015, and will feature the likes of Cadillac Three, Madd Hoss Jackson and Avenue Beat.

Up and coming country band Cadillac Three will headline the 2015 Music With a Mission concert at the Adams County Fairgrounds, and we sat down for a chat with member Kelby Ray on KICK-FM.

Six String Heroes will be having their third annual benefit concert on Saturday, March 7, 2015 in Quincy.
