Description of festival: St Andrews Voices - A host of national and international musicians descending on the town for three days of diverse, high-quality vocal music.

There are many successful chamber music festivals around the country, just as there are numerous summer opera festivals. What is more unusual is a festival that places the voice, and all its diverse musical incarnations, at the centre of its programme. St Andrews Voices will do this, and it will bring the festival a number of strengths, not least the wide audience base that vocal music attracts, and the opportunity to explore unique programming that crosses traditional genre boundaries.

The first St Andrews Voices Festival was held in October 2012. A host of national and international musicians descended on the town for four days of diverse, high-quality vocal music. Audience members and press alike were thrilled by a range of exciting concerts. Future plans will draw on the success of this first year and develop certain strands including choral music, contemporary music and outreach work. In 2013 the festival will run for four days during October (3rd – 6th).

Jordan Vineyard & Winery Tasting and Dinner
Rob Davis, Winemaker, Jordan Vineyard  $140
The Rock Island Grand Prix is the world’s largest and most prestigious karting street race.

"Talk with any racer or spectator and they will rave about the experience. It’s simply the most fun you can have in kart racing, both on and off the track."

During the day, racers go head to head against the best in the sport on the safest street circuit in karting. At night competitors and spectators enjoy the nightlife of The Downtown Rock Island Arts & Entertainment District.

The Rock Island Grand Prix ranks as the ultimate experience in kart racing. There is no greater thrill than racing through city streets at speeds approaching 100 MPH, one inch off the ground as thousands of spectators cheer you on.

A family of more than 200 volunteers reunite each year to produce the race weekend for competitors who come from coast to coast as well as many foreign countries. There is nothing like the atmosphere of “The Rock.”

Kart racing is where the motorsports stars of the future get started and learn their craft. Many Formula One, NASCAR, IndyCar and sports car drivers started in kart racing; some raced at the Rock Island Grand Prix.


The races are always the Saturday and Sunday of Labor Day Weekend, Aug. 31-Sept. 1, 2013

The event is held in downtown city streets of Rock Island, Illinois

This is a family-oriented event with free general admission. Attendance for the two days is estimated at 20,000, depending on weather.

Random, aka Mega Ran. Teacher, Rapper, Hero. A 14-year music veteran, middle school teacher and videogame aficionado, Random's songs are filled with all of the heartache, pain, triumph, tragedy and fun that come with everyday living. A Philadelphia native and Phoenix transplant, graduate of Penn State University and former middle school instructor, Random speaks to the everyman, transcending race or class barriers."I never want anyone to predict my next move," he says. You can, however, expect the unexpected from Random, hence the name.

Random’s unique combination of fantasy and true to life music has garnered him respect and admiration from the genre’s toughest critics; Not many independent artists can boast having music utilized in television (TNA Wrestling, Portlandia), videogames (Rock Band, among others), movies, and university courses in several colleges in the US (Temple, Virginia Tech, Miami among others). Now that’s Random. Random’s critically acclaimed projects as Mega Ran include FOREVER FAMICOM, a tribute to NES classics, and BLACK MATERIA, an album based on the music of hit Final Fantasy VII.

Ran continues to reach new heights after video game corporation CAPCOM offered Random an exclusive licensing agreement, leading to movie soundtrack placements and tours of the US, UK and Japan, all in 2011. Catch Ran on the front of leading hip-hop and gaming publications, or at a show near you. Something new… something different…this is the Random Experience.
