Last night's Week 7 of the Rythms on the River was a great ending to the 'raw' auditions for the 2010 contest.
Rythm's MC, Stephen Darmstadler, did a great job of fitting in all the audition performances. We had
a record number of registered Rythms participants, (14).

Here is video clip of last night's winner, Sara St. Pierre. The runner up, Marissa Nicole Tingus sang Broken
Wing, by Martina McBride featuring a killer last note. 3rd place was a tie; Torey Crable, singing Brooks and Dunn,
and Danielle Rose, who sang a really good original composition.

After taking a break next Wednesday, every Wednesday in August will be part of the Rythms's August Finals month.

Y'all need to see the great talent we have, right here in Sacramento!

Micky Dolenz, yes the Monkees drummer, will be part of our Monday, August 2nd
'Patio Jam' - Wine, Food and music event. This will be a 'once in a lifetime' chance
to mix with Micky in an intimate, evening that will include Micky 'jamming' with
the Track Shack studios musicians and rumors that at least one other music legend
will drop by. Phone is off the hook with people asking about the wineries that
will be participating and the food that will be presented.

The wineries include;

Michael David
Frank Family
Pacific Wine and Spirits
Henry Wine Group w/Renwood

The passed appetizers will be served throughout the event...
It’s going to be a blast.
