Matthew Harper fans have been waiting for some new recorded material since his last CD excitedly, but this time Matthew took more of a striped down acoustic solo take just like his ever popular live show.

This week marks the third week running that music enthusiasts of Vernon County have been enlightened with the new attraction added to our uptown-downtown nightlife.


Only two weeks ago a letter arrived at the Daylight Donuts and Coffeehouse 114 N Cedar street in Nevada, from ASCAP, an association of singers and songwriters, offering a license granting performance rights to over 20,000 songs. After graciously thanking ASCAP for their most generous offer, the Daylight Donuts & Coffeehouse decided to continue the music quest that began March 15, 1996. The passion that they breath into our community is to promote the original music from the wonderful touring singer/songwriters, and bands that flock through the city gates and right into the doors of Daylight.


Daylight Donuts & Coffeehouse is the one and only original music venue of Vernon County, now nationally and internationally known. Only after receiving notoriety in the Midwestern Artist, Venue, & Management Guide, distributed at the 2005 Grammy Awards, was Daylight brought to life. Now telephone calls, letters, and e-mails are nothing strange to daily routine at Daylight. Now many acclaimed musicians & bands plan trips to Daylight.


Last week a new group from the Branson music scene dropped in for a breath taking performance while on the last leg of their 2005 Midwestern Tour. Starrfadu now supporting their second album "A Narrow Road to Silence" made friends with all of the Coffeehouse regulars and a few new faces when they demonstrated their new blend of indie-sounds. "It can't be described as folk, but it's not quite country either," said Austin Hartley, lead singer, harmonica and acoustic guitarist for the band. Needless to say, the band had something for everyone from 5 to 65. Starrfadu's music has reached thousands and the band is now another of the many great, and nationally touring acts that have performed at the Daylight Donuts and Coffeehouse.


In the upcoming months, Daylight has her sights on a Nashville singer/songwriter, an all girl band from Australia, and a rock-based Christian worship group from Chicago, Illinois. In addition, our acoustic friend from Pennsylvania will return, as well as the Band Berlin Drop, scheduled to perform Saturday May 14, 2005.


If you would like to know more about the events at Daylight Donuts & Coffeehouse, you may stop in the shop, and get a free music schedule (while supplies last), also

Hey friends,

All we can say is WOW! This weekend was amazing with three awesome concerts where the volume at which we all worshipped together reached new heights. One of the most fascinating things in our travels this weekend would have to be the dancing of those that reside in Michigan City, IN. We were not entirely aware that people could move like that before this weekend. Any kind of dance move, you name it, these peeps out in Michigan City could throw it down. On top of that, they were all really LOUD. All in all, we consider this weekend a TOTAL success. That's not the end though. Not even close. The tour rolls on all year. We kick things back off Friday May 6th with a lock-in at St. Peter's Church of Christ in Frankfort, IL and then immediately the next day (May 7th) to The Hub in Oakland, IL. Continually check www.purevolume.com/christopherjordan for the most up to date tour schedule. You can also hear songs from the new CD there. We hope to see you ALL out on the r!
oad and
it goes without saying that it is only logical for anyone that has at least one ear that works, that they pick up a copy of "More of You". God bless!

Faithfully,
Christopher Jordan

Hey what's up everybody? Joel here from Kalatria. I'm here to tell you about the concert of the week for Nevada, MO. This Saturday, April 16th, Daylight Donuts will feature local Nevada bands Eleven 27 and Kalatria. The doors open at 7:30, the show starts at 8:00 p.m., and the price is just 4 dollars at the door. Yep you heard right, 4 dollars. What else can you do for 4 dollars that will last at least 2 hours? Well, around here the answer is nothing. If you come to this concert you will not be disappointed. If you want to hear for yourself before coming to the show you can check out Kalatria at http://www.myspace.com/kalatria and to hear Eleven 27 go to http://www.eleven27rock.com. Also this will be Kalatria's "CD RELEASE SHOW" so bring 5 bucks and buy a cd or you could bring more so you could support both bands by buying both cd's. That'd be great! So this weekend bring your family and friends to Daylight Donuts and lets rock out!

Peace,
Joel
