After delivering a Gold-selling debut and three consecutive top 5 singles to country radio, "American Idol" alum Josh Gracin released his much anticipated sophomore album, We Weren't Crazy, on April 1, 2008.

Josh Gracin's new CD, We Weren't Crazy allows audiences to take a more personal look inside the life of the "American Idol" season 2 finalist and former Marine. "This album is more me," says Gracin. "I was able to focus on making the album I wanted to make. For the first album, I was still in the service, so I had to fly in and out of Nashville to record when I could. This time around it had my undivided attention." Josh worked with producers Marty Williams and Brett James on the CD's eleven tracks. Gracin is admittedly most excited about his newest single, the title track, "We Weren't Crazy." The autobiographical song was written by Gracin, Tony Lopacinski, and Bobby Pinson about Gracin's personal journey from childhood to raising children and having a family of his own. "This time around I got to dig in and share my stories as a songwriter. I'm so proud of how this song turned out," he said.

Josh will be performing songs off his new album at his show April 25th at Lyman Harbor in Sandusky, Ohio. Also performing will be Danielle Peck.

1964... The Tribute w/ Hot Rod
Saturday, May 17, 2008
Tri-Valley Theatre
Grahamsville, New York

Tickets go on sale Monday Feb. 11th!

1964…The Tribute, the world-renowned Beatles tribute band that has delighted sold-out audiences at venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Shea Stadium, will appear at the Tri-Valley School Theatre, Route 55 in Grahamsville, NY, on Saturday, May 17, 2008, at 7:00 p.m. One of the highest-grossing touring acts in the world, 1964 has sold out Carnegie Hall seven times running. Rolling Stone Magazine calls 1964…The Tribute “the number one Beatles show on Earth,” and now, for the first time ever, they are coming to Sullivan County.

1964…The Tribute has been featured on such nationally-broadcast programs as Entertainment Tonight, CNN, the CBS Morning Show, and the Don Imus Radio Show. The group has toured around the world performing at major concert venues, festivals, colleges, and events. Dick Clark said of 1964, “2,964 shows and 24 years later still hands down the Best Beatles show out there today. 1964…The Tribute creates magic.”

The concert is sponsored by the Tri-Valley Theatre Arts Club and will also feature the Hudson Valley’s premier rock group, Hotrod. Hotrod has been rocking the Valley since 1996 with their covers of hits from the roots of Do Wop, the psychedelic 60’s, the guitar rock of the 70’s, and the sounds of the 80’s. Hotrod makes the music of generations come alive! All proceeds benefit the Theatre Arts Club, a student organization dedicated to providing hands-on experience in the fields of theatrical production, management, and artistry.

The Tri-Valley School Theatre is located on Route 55 in Grahamsville, NY, a village nestled in the heart of Sullivan County and just a twenty-minute, scenic drive from Liberty and Ellenville. RESERVED SEATING ONLY. Purchase tickets online at www.ticketalternative.com or call 877-725-8849. Will Call tickets may be picked up after 6:00 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Refreshments available for purchase during intermission.
