www.livinthemusic.org Over the past year, Livin’ the Music has produced events for the Lili Claire Foundation (helping
special needs kids) in Nashville and Los Angeles, for The Los Angeles Inner-city Lacrosse Association (teaching inner-
city kids Lacrosse) in Los Angeles, for The Voice of the Wetlands (coastal conservation in Louisiana) in Baton Rouge,
LA, and for CAN-DO (providing disaster relief world-wide, hurricane relief in Louisiana) in Baton Rouge. These events
have been very successful in helping these organizations in their individual missions.
Livin’ the Music’s involvement doesn’t end with the event. Some of our artists, personnel and volunteers are also
involved in on-going projects with The Lili Claire Foundation’s Nashville and Los Angeles family resource centers, CAN-
DO’s hurricane relief efforts in Southern Louisiana; and on Thursday, January 8th, to celebrate our 1 year anniversary,
Livin’ the Music will help Soles4Souls launch their "Takin' it to the Streets" campaign. On the 8th, we will be going to 4
different places in Nashville (homeless shelter, women's shelter, etc) and fitting the people with shoes. A different group
of artists will join us at each area to help. January is the heart of winter in Nashville. I know that a pair of shoes may not
seem like that much, but when you don't have them...it is. Livin' the Music is joining together with Soles4Souls on
January 8th to "Take it to the Streets" in Nashville.
At 6PM we will end our "shoe drive" at 3rd and Lindsley where Livin' the Music will host our 1 year anniversary event,
benefitting Soles4Souls. Our events have the basic structure of a songwriters round, but they are not your typical
songwriters night. They are a place where the artists can relax, have fun and collaborate with fellow songwriters.
The evening consists of 3-4 writers rounds and either a jam round or a closing band at the end of the night. Each
round is approximately 1 hour in length (45 minutes of entertainment and 15 minutes for changeover).
We have a growing network of gifted songwriters whose music has a positive message - who believe music can, and
will, change the world. It is incredibly inspiring to find people from all walks of life, across all genres of music, with the
same message of optimism. Livin’ the Music would love for you to join us as we spread this energy and awareness. We
are looking forward to you joining us in our mission. Music is the vehicle for the message.
PLEASE HELP US MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE, ONE SONG AT A TIME.

fORMER - www.myspace.com/formerband
What’s in a name? In the case of fORMER, quite a bit. Rising from the ashes of several defunct
Nashville acts and seemingly dominated by former members of this or that band. Pop hooks
backed with a wall of guitars, a powerhouse rhythm section, three-part vocal harmonies, and
just enough ivories and strings to earn their ELO merit badge, has proven to be a potent
combination, earning the band multiple nominations in Nashville Modern Rock station
WBUZ102.9’s Local Rock Awards, winning “Best Song” for their tune “Lies”, as well as “Best
Alternative Band”, and “Best Bassist” honors in their annual Listeners’ Choice Awards. fORMER have supported
such national acts as Staind, Breaking Benjamin , Luna Halo, Night Ranger, The Exies, Nonpoint, Eve 6, 12
Stones, Cowboy Mouth, Evan’s Blue, Three Days Grace, Bang Camaro, John Corabi, and more, and continue to
perform throughout the Southeast and Midwest while wrapping up work on their debut full-length to be released in
the Fall of 2008.

RESEARCH TURTLES - www.myspace.com/researchturtles
Research Turtles is a four-piece, indie-rock band from Lake Charles, LA. Its members-
brothers Joe and Jud Norman, Logan Fontenot, and Blake Thibodeaux- have been touring
the south together for over two years as the cover band, Flamethowers. In the summer of
2008, however, the cover band decided it was time to form an all-original band, Research
Turtles. The band’s debut album, “Time Machine EP” will be released officially on November
14th but can be downloaded for free from their myspace page. Their EP contains seven
songs recently recorded by the band. Research Turtles will continue touring the south this fall to promote the
album. The band is currently in the studio working on their second EP.
