General Information:
www.livinthemusic.org Livin’ the Music is a non-profit organization (501c3 pending) that was founded on the idea that
music can, and will, change the world. The purpose of Livin’ the Music is to use music to bring light, love & hope to
those in need. On Saturday, February 7th, we will be hosting our first event in Lake Charles, LA at OB’s Bar & Grill to
benefit The Ethel Precht Hope Breast Cancer Foundation, a foundation dedicated to local survivors and their families
whose struggle takes them places few have ever been. Recently, Livin’ the Music has lost several friends to cancer
(including my father, Ed Reiser). This event means a lot to us. Livin’ the Music wants to do whatever possible to help
The Ethel Precht Hope Breast Cancer Foundation achieve their goals in the Lake Charles community.

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, for CAN-DO
(providing disaster relief world-wide, hurricane relief in Louisiana) in Baton Rouge and for Soles4Souls (providing shoes
to those in need) in Nashville. Livin’ the Music strives to help these organizations achieve their individual missions by
encouraging and providing a way for the artists and the local community to get involved through special projects such
as shoe-drives (Soles4Souls), re-building efforts (CAN-DO), children’s programs (The Lili Claire Foundation) and
support groups (St. Patrick Hospital Palliative Care).

On Saturday, February 7th, we will host our first Livin’ the Music concert at OB’s Bar & Grill. A VIP reception will be
held for all partners and sponsors from 6-7PM. Please get there early to enjoy this exclusive opportunity, reserve your
table and mix and mingle with the artists and supporters. This support is critical to the community. Please contact
info@livinthemusic.org for more information on how to be a part of this reception.

At 7PM the doors will open to the public. The event will begin at 7PM and continue through 1AM. A schedule of
performances can be found below or at www.livinthemusic.org. The purpose of this evening’s festivities is to raise
awareness and support for the Ethel Precht Hope Breast Cancer Foundation. The Foundation provides support for local
families, patients and survivors. If we all join together, we can form a strong support system for our community. Exactly
11 months ago, I lost my father to cancer. I personally know what it feels like to be faced with one of life’s toughest
challenges. I also know that no one should ever have to go through this alone. We at Livin’ the Music want to form a
support system for the Lake Charles community that will last for years to come.

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 is excited and honored to bring this energy and awareness to OB’s in Lake
Charles. Music is the vehicle for the message.

PLEASE HELP US MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE, ONE SONG AT A TIME.

The Ethel Precht Breast Cancer Foundation - www.ethelbreastcancerwalk.org
Bringing families and friends together to support each survivor and those currently
battling cancer.

Not every time the word "cancer" is said does it spell "death". However, Ethel Precht has
lost her only sister, dad, aunts, uncles and grandmother to some type of cancer. Her two
sons and husband have all had prostate cancer, her daughter-in-law ovarian cancer and
her 92 year old mother and she herself are all living proof that there is life after being
diagnosed with the big "C". Twenty-Two years ago, Ethel was diagnosed with breast
cancer. She is living proof that there is life after cancer.

While in Houston receiving treatment, friends invited her to a breast cancer walk. She was so moved and touched by
the care and love at that walk that she decided to do something similar in Lake Charles. Since 2004 they have helped
over 60 survivors with monetary gifts. This has become a yearly event, and in 2007 they had over 1000 participants in
the walk! Their goal is to have families and friends come together to support each survivor and those currently battling
breast cancer. The walk continues to grow thanks to the local support of businesses and families.

While Ethel, believes money is needed for extensive research, her walk is dedicated to local survivors and their
families. When going through cancer of any type, there are so many other things going on in a family and money is
needed for the small necessities of life, as well as research for a cure. The money from the walk only goes toward
residents in Cameron and Calcasieu Parishes. Nobody associated with the walk gets payment of any form. Everyone
volunteers their time for the cause. All of the money raised stays in the community to help offset what insurance does
not pay. It is a gift for a survivor.

If we can make someone feel better about themselves while going through some of the darkest moments in their lives,
we have reached our goal.

FEBRUARY 6TH HOSPITAL JAM - 2PM (INVITE ONLY - RSVP REQUIRED)

EXCLUSIVE CONCERT FOR LAKE CHARLES CANCER SUPPORT
GARBER AUDITORIUM
430 South Ryan Street
(next to the CHRISTUS St. Patrick Hospital Emergency Room)
Lake Charles, LA 70601

General Information:
On the February 6th, Livin’ the Music will be bringing support, energy and awareness to Lake Charles. Being
diagnosed with an illness such as cancer can literally turn an entire family’s life upside-down. During diagnosis,
treatment, recovery and rebuilding, it is extremely important that the patient, family and friends have a strong support
system. Palliative Care is a new program at St. Patrick Hospital in Lake Charles. Under the leadership of Michelle
Hurley, they provide support services to enhance the quality of life that is there.

On Friday, February 6th from 2-5PM, Livin’ the Music will be partnering with Palliative Care to unite the community
through music. We will be hosting an exclusive concert at Garber Auditorium at St. Patrick Hospital. The purpose of this
event is to let the community know that there is support; we are here; you are not alone and we want to help. If
you are a cancer patient, survivor or family member you are invited to this concert.

Due to limited space, you must RSVP. Please contact Michelle Hurley (Palliative Care) at 337.430.3447 or Becky
Reiser (Livin’ the Music) at 615.646.7998 for more information on how to be a part of this exciting new part of the Lake
Charles community. These events will continue on a monthly basis. Please visit www.livinthemusic.org or email us at

Artist Information (as of January 25, 2009):

RESEARCH TURTLES - www.myspace.com/researchturtles
FLAMETHROWERS - www.myspace.com/flamethrowers
Over the past two years, brothers Jud and Joe Norman, Logan Fontenot and Blake Thibodeaux
have been touring the South, selling out venues and performing in front of huge groups of fans as
the cover band FLAMETHROWERS. In the summer of 2008, they decided that it was time to start
playing some of the original material that had been written over the past two years. RESEARCH
TURTLES is a four-piece indie-rock band from Lake Charles, LA. The band’s debut album, “Time
Machine EP” was released officially on November 14, 2008 and can be purchased in its entirety at
www.cdbaby.com/researchturtles. Research Turtles will continue touring the south this winter and
spring playing major venues from Texas to Florida to Tennessee. All tour dates will be posted at
www.myspace.com/researchturtles. This is one band that promises to rock the music world in 2009!

DILANA (from CBS’s “Rockstar”) - www.myspace.com/dilanarox

Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, the girl known by age two as Dilana Smith discovered a love for
music at an early age, participating in school and church choirs as an escape from an unpleasant
home life. Inspired by such visceral singers as Janis Joplin and Tina Turner, she left school at
sixteen to follow her own dreams and soon found herself with a promising music career in Holland,
becoming one of the country's most coveted live acts. Her 2000 album Wonderfool scored five
singles, four videos and a string of touring and festival gigs throughout the region. Dilana gained
international fame on CBS’s highly rated Rockstar Supernova music reality show but her musical
chops have been honed during years of touring and songwriting in her native South Africa, Europe
and ultimately here in the states. Dilana went on to become an honorary Louisianaian through
marriage and can be found visiting Houma and New Orleans on a regular basis.

JARYD LANE - www.jarydlane.com
When asked, Jaryd Lane will tell you - without hesitation - what he enjoys most about music, "It's
all about the songs for me. Great songs with great stories." All of the tracks, penned in Nashville for
his new CD "RIDING FOR THE BRAND", prove that. This Louisiana native has been inspired by
artists ranging from James Taylor to Merle Haggard. Whether he's playing solo or with a full band
behind him, Jaryd's raw and soulful voice is winning audiences all over the southwest. In a style that
varies from Skynyrd grit to acoustic country and blues, Jaryd touches hard working fun loving people
with songs about love, sin, God, and family - with lyrics that speak to everyday people about
everyday life. The opportunity to open for national acts such as David Allan Coe, Mark Chestnut,
Billy Currington, Chris Cagle, Edwin McCain, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Sammy Kershaw, Tracy
Lawrence and John Conlee has helped this southerner turn more than a few heads and is sure to
keep 'em turnin'.

KENDALL MORGAN - www.myspace.com/kendallmorganmusic

Born and raised in Nashville, TN, Kendall Morgan’s raw, unabashed songwriting has been inspired
by the musical talent that flows through her hometown. Morgan pulls her influences
from many different directions, from Leonard Cohen to Conor Oberst. The substance that
Morgan captures in her writing is infused with her empathetic, distinctive tone that will wrap
itself around your ear and soul.

CHRIS SHEARMAN - www.myspace.com/chrisshearmanmusic

Chris Shearman grew up in Southern Louisiana and has been playing live music for
almost 20 years. His style is a return to grassroots acoustic songs depicting the scenes
and colors of nature, love, and loss while bringing an awareness to the beauty of simplicity
in songwriting.

Write good tunes - build songs - make music - enjoy life as much as possible - shake your ass
every once in a while, it will make you smile and feel better!
