StudioAmped - First Concert Features Local Band Good Foote
At the request of viewers and fans of national PBS programs, like
Austin City Limits and Soundstage, the local PBS television station,
WSRE, is launching a new pilot project. StudioAmped will feature
local artists/bands in concert at the station's performance studio.
The performance will be taped and edited into a television series,
which will air later this fall on WSRE.
The first season of StudioAmped features four artists in concert:
Good Foote, May 10; 60 Cycles of Sound, June 14; Sadie
Blu, July 19; and TBA, August 9. All concerts begin at 7:00pm.
General Admission tickets are $7. Tickets can be purchased at WSRE
in advance or the evening of the concert at the Amos Performance
Studio ticket booth.
Good Foote, performing May 10, is best known for their funky,
blues and soul renditions. Originally formed in 1999 as an acoustic
duo with the name of "Full-On," today, the band consists of seven
members who can be found playing nearly every weekend in the
Pensacola Bay area at places like the Fish House, Seville Quarter
and Capt'n Fun's. A major highlight for the band was opening for the
Derek Trucks Band and Dickey Betts' (Allman Brothers founder) Great
Southern at the 2002 SpringFest. Members include: Mark Ellis (lead
vocals and rhythm guitar), Josh Gill (lead guitar), Dick Boyden
(slide and lead guitar), Mike Tipton (keys and organ), Rob Rudd Esq.
(fretless bass), Derek "Slo Mo" Hayes (drums) and Stephen Moody
(drums and percussion).
