BURTON CUMMINGS TO APPEAR ON TALK OF THE TOWN WITH TRACY LUNDEEN THIS SATURDAY MORNING

Duluth, MN ….This Saturday morning Burton Cummings, lead singer of The Guess Who (1965 to 1975) who sang, wrote and co-wrote some of the biggest hits of that era including “American Woman,” “No Time,” “Share the Land,” “Hand Me Down World,” “Undun,” “Laughing,” “Star Baby”, “No Sugar Tonight,” and “These Eyes” will appear on Talk of the Town with Tracy Lundeen.

After a nearly 20 year absence from the recording studio Cummings has released a new album titled “Above the Ground.” Above The Ground, marks 20 years since his last such album was released in the U.S.
Canadian rock royalty, Cummings had enjoyed seven previous solo studio albums from 1976 to 1990. North of the border, four of them went double platinum or better, and two others gold, including 1990's Plus Signs. That album boasted two of his six Top 10 Canadian Adult Contemporary hits in a solo career that has seen 16 Top 40 AC hits -- two #1s among them. The 1994 retrospective The Burton Cummings Collection was subsequently a best-seller. Cummings then toured with a reformed version of The Guess Who from 2000 to 2003, and since 2005 has occasionally performed and recorded with Randy Bachman, co-founder of the original group (and later of Bachman-Turner Overdrive), as the Bachman-Cummings Band, which released a pair of albums and toured with Bon Jovi.
Cummings is revered in his homeland: In 2009 he was named to the Order of Canada, the country's highest civilian honor, given to those with a lifetime of outstanding achievement, dedication to community and service to the nation.

In addition to talking about the new album Lundeen and Cummings will touch on the Guess Who’s early years including regional music influences and their appearances at the Duluth National Guard Armory.

The interview, scheduled to air at 7:30AM this Saturday morning can be heard on KOOL101.7FM or www.kool1017.com.

VENDORS NEEDED FOR OCT CORN MAZE FESTIVAL

June 21, 2010, Hermantown, MN – Vendors are being sought for the October 2nd Corn Maze Festival to be held at Engwall’s in Hermantown. There are openings for food, beverage and craft vendors at the festival.

“This is a festival for all ages so we’re looking for vendors that can offer a wide variety of selections both in foods and beverages and crafts” said Tracy Lundeen of Lundeen Productions, co-producers of the first time event. Interested parties should contact Lundeen at 218.727.1177.

The 52,000 square foot “Cornstalk Maze” has been planted and is growing according to the plan with the recent rain helping the project. “Knee high by the 4th of July,” said Rod Saline, Engwall President, is an old saying about corn that will be very accurate for the project. “We have cut the maze already and we’re watching the progress,” Saline added.
The Corn Maze is working with the Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank, with a portion of proceeds going to the Food Bank. In exchange, Second Harvest will assist with providing volunteers for some of the operation at the October 2 festival.
The corn maze will open starting September 10 for about 6 weeks. Lundeen Productions is serving as co-producer of the Corn Maze in conjunction with Engwall’s.

ShowPro is Back!

ROCK THE MALL is scheduled for August 12th at the Miller Hill Mall in Duluth. I've been thinking alot about the foundation of Lundeen Productions and everything goes back to ShowPro! For 30 years ShowPro was a name at the forefront of regional entertainment. Whether it was concerts, dances, recordings, radio broadcasts or whatever.....ShowPro was out in front leading the way.

About a half dozen years ago I mothballed the name as we got more and more in to promoting "non music" expo's and rebranded my company "Lundeen Productions." Now, yearning a bit to get back to my roots, I've decided it's time to throw out the mothballs and bring back ShowPro.

Having said that I don't want to confuse anything so it's not my intention to go back into full fledged concert and festival promotion. I think we have enough to do at LP already. My focus, at least for now, with ShowPro will be to help promote younger music talents in the region. Get them some opportunities to perform before audiences and show what they can do.

The first event will be ROCK THE MALL. This will be a big back to school event and party (as we are billing it)on Thursday August 12th at the Miller Hill Mall in Duluth. We are going to turn the food court at the mall into a concert venue and showcase a number of regional talents that will be selected from a social media competition on Facebook. We will ask musician/performers to submit videos of them performing and we'll have people vote on line as to who they like. The top vote getters will be invited to perform at ROCK THE MALL. We will then have live judges, audience voting and a few other "twists" to pick the overall winner.

Ok, we call it ROCK THE MALL but its not just limited to rock music or rock bands. Singles, Duos, Trios, Groups and Bands can participate. Catch? You have to be 18 or under! Many more details coming soon.
