11/15/07 - Amanda
Sings with Linda Davis
Wednesday
November 14th, Linda Davis played a concert at Hawkeye Community
College in Waterloo. For those who may not recognize the name
Linda Davis. In 1993 Linda worked with Reba McEntire on a duet
called “Does He Love You”. The song went straight
to number 1 on the country music radio charts, earned them a
Grammy award for Best Country Vocal Collaboration as well as
the CMA Award for "Vocal Event of the Year". CMT recently
ranked the song at No. 9 on their list of 100 Greatest Duets.
Linda had been told about Amanda and last night Linda called
Amanda on stage to sing the Duet with her. After the show Linda
told Amanda that she is doing a concert in Nashville in March
the same week Amanda will be in Nashville and Linda would like
for Amanda to come to the concert. Linda also talked to Amanda
some about Amanda’s future plans for a studio session
in Nashville.
Next week Linda is leaving for a month to go on the road with
Kenny Rogers for their Christmas concert tour. We wish Linda
all the best and can not wait for March and the chance to go
see Linda again.
If you ever get the chance to go see Linda perform please do
yourself a favor and go see her. She is truly one of the most
talented and nicest people you will ever have the chance to
meet.
Thank You again Linda and we look forward to seeing you March.

The Band Lockren
There is no doubt that female country is one of the fastest
growing areas of the music industry and the band "Lockren"
is here to bring it to you. We are one of only a hand full of
bands in the Midwest that features a female lead singer. This
allows us to do something completely different in the live music
industry. The band "Lockren" was started during the
summer of 2005 and is made up of a great mixture of youth and
experience.
Our first experienced member is Jon Purdy on Guitar. Jon is
a veteran of over 30 years of playing experience around the
U.S. and abroad before returning home to Cedar Falls. On Bass
we have Jim Lee. Jim is a veteran with over 30 years of live
music experience around the US and now resides in Evansdale.
And on Drums from Cedar Rapids we have Michael Jensen. Michael
is also a veteran on the music scene. He has been playing drums
for over 30 years, on the road and around the Eastern Iowa.
Our final member, and bringing the youth and enthusiasm to the
band, is a 21 year old from Coggon, Amanda Loughren. Amanda
started her singing career at the ripe old age of 13 at her
school variety show and has been singing ever since. Amanda
has earned the respect of her piers with her vocal ability that
is second to none. Amanda's vocals, combined with the harmonies,
make this band something special and an experience you will
not soon forget.
The band Lockren is primarily a top 40 country band with music
from artists such as Carrie Underwood, Gretchen Wilson, Miranda
Lambert, Shania Twain, Sugarland, Trick Pony, Brooks & Dunn,
Dierks Bentley, and Johnny Cash to name a few. But we do not
stop there. We have something for just about everyone with classic
rock favorites from artists like AC/DC, Joan Jett, Led Zeppelin,
Pat Benatar, and ZZ Top among others.
Since our beginning in 2005 we have been fortunate to gain a
lot of new fans/friends and we are all very excited about our
future. So make your plans to come join the "Lockren"
experience soon, and we hope to see you at a gig in the very
near future. The Band "Lockren"
