The Power of Performance Seminar Hosted by Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre Nashville
Nashville is home of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Music Row, the CMA Awards and the world-famous Ryman Auditorium, hosts to throngs of Music City tourists each year. One more attraction has just popped up on the radar, and that is the seminars for musicians and artists offered consistently at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre Nashville.
“A Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre has a special mission – we are specially suited to help artists,” says Rev. Brian Fesler, Pastor of the church.
The church has scheduled David Campbell, an arranger and composer at the top of his game, to give a seminar to aspiring musicians on “The Power of Performance – Basics for a Successful Career” on June 4, 2012 at 7pm.
In the world of arranging and composing there are few, if any, who have matched Campbell’s production. He has worked on over 450 gold and platinum albums including Death Magnetic (Metallica), Minutes to Midnight (Linkin Park), KISS Symphony: Alive IV (KISS) Spirit (Leona Lewis), These Days (Bon Jovi), Fallen (Evanescence), ANThology (Alien Ant Farm), and various albums by his son Beck.
He has worked with the finest names in music including Johnny Cash, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Beyonce and Radiohead. Most recently his arrangements are found on Adele's 21 where David did the string arrangements of five songs including "Rumor Has It." His albums have received 232 Grammy nominations, 50 Grammy awards and 2 Oscars.
The night after Campbell presents his seminar, he will be conducting at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center for country legend Willie Nelson.
“Campbell’s seminar will be very hands-on,” says Fesler. “Attendees are urged to bring an instrument, which tells me they will learn quite practical things to help them in their craft.”
Seminar tickets are $25 which includes two books by L. Ron Hubbard called The Problems of Work and Understanding. For more information about the upcoming seminar, call 615-687-4600 and ask for Julie Brinker. For more information about David Campbell, visit www.davidmusic.com.

Shea Weber Among Nashville Pride Award Winners
From activists to athletes, Nashville Pride will honor several respected members of the Middle Tennessee community at their second annual awards reception and Pride Rocks! Pre-Party presented by Curb Records at the Hard Rock Café on Thursday, June 14, 2012 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 and available at www.nashvillepride.org. Tickets are free for Core 100 members. Doors open at 6 p.m.
Nashville Predator’s captain Shea Weber and restaurateur Arnold Myint are among the list of honorees chosen by Nashville Pride’s Board of Directors as standouts in the local and national LGBT community.
This year’s honorees include:
“There are so many people doing work behind the scenes in our community, and we are happy to be able to shine some light on this particular group’s selflessness and generosity,” said Pride President Randall Roop.
The board began presenting awards in 2011 to honor two leaders in Nashville’s LGBT community as well as the two late LGBT icons for which the Manasco and Middleton awards are named. Newly added, this year’s award list also includes the Philanthropy in Business award which celebrates an entrepreneur who has generously donated goods and/or services to Pride and other non-profit community groups to help raise funds on multiple occasions during the year.
The Ally Award honors a straight friend of the LGBT community who has taken a stance for equality. The Rising Star award is presented to new Pride volunteers who show promise in helping Nashville Pride continue to grow in the future.
The award winners will be honored at the Nashville Pride Pre-Party at Hard Rock Cafe on Thursday, June 14, and during the 2012 Nashville Pride Festival at Riverfront Park on Saturday, June 16. They will also be profiled in the 2012 Nashville Pride Guide in June, distributed by Out & About Newspaper.
The purpose of the Nashville Pride is to maintain a sense of community and awareness of, about, and for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people and culture throughout Middle Tennessee.
