"ROOTS ROCKIN RIDERS" BIKERS' BENEFIT FOR AUTISM ARTICLE FROM UPSTAGE

AREA MUSICIANS BAND TOGETHER TO BENEFIT HARD WORKING
ORGANIZATION WHO HELP PEOPLE WITH AUTISM

Special UpstageMagazine.com Online Only Article

(STIRLING, NJ) -- American Roots Live with Nasty Ned, in association with Flock Promotions, announced today a benefit concert to raise money for the Eden Institute and awareness for autism; Sunday, October 21st at Orphan Annie's, 1255 Valley Rd. in Stirling, NJ.

"Roots Rockin' Riders" Bikers' Benefit for Autism is an all day concert fund raiser featuring some of the areas most popular musical acts. Doors open at 12 noon and music will start at 2pm running until 12 midnight. A $5 minimum donation is requested.

The show, hosted by American Roots Live's Nasty Ned will also feature Nasty Ned & the Dogs, Johnny Charles & the Straight 8 Blues Kings, The Congregation, The Jerry Lanza Band with very special guest, Phil 'n the Blanks, Johnny Thompson, Katmandu and an American Roots Live All Star jam to round out the evening.

The motorcycle community is strongly encouraged to attend as they have proved year after year to be generous supporters of children's charity events put on by Flock Promotions. Preferred parking for motorcycles will be available.

The Eden Institute, a New Jersey-based nonprofit organization, was founded in 1975 with a mission to improve the lives of children and adults with autism and their families. Parents and professionals alike joined together to develop a family oriented, multifaceted program with a well-trained and dedicated faculty. Inherent in Eden's founding was the commitment to provide a cost-effective, community-based alternative to institutionalization and to offer programming that would meet the changing needs of children and adults with autism.

Autism is a complex, lifelong developmental disability that impacts the development of the brain in the areas of social interaction and communication skills, the result of a neurological disorder affecting the functioning of the brain.

Autism currently affects an estimated 1 in 150 child births (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2007) and is four times more common in boys than girls. It is found in all racial, ethnic and social groups and its overall incidence is consistent throughout the world. Family income, lifestyle and education do not affect the chance of occurrence.

Children and adults with autism typically have difficulties with verbal and nonverbal communication, social interactions and leisure or play activities. Aggressive or self-injurious behavior may also be present.

There are no medical tests for diagnosing autism, so an accurate diagnosis must be based on observation of the individual's communication, behavior and developmental levels.

No single cause for autism has been identified, but there is general acceptance that abnormalities in brain structure or function are at the root. Brain scans show differences in the shape and structure of the brain in children with autism versus those who do not have autism, and researchers continue to investigate a variety of theories and links. Autism is not a mental illness nor is it caused by bad parenting. Children with autism and related pervasive developmental disabilities are born with the disorder or the potential to develop it.

Your generous support is greatly needed. Please come to Roots Rockin' Riders Bikers Benefit for Autism and do your part while enjoying great music, food and beverage, raffle prizes and 50/50 games.

Flock Promotions of south Jersey is a fully insured event coordinating service run by A.J. and Frankie Scarpa. Frankie Scarpa, a talented artesian and carver and wife A.J. have had a special interest in raising money for the Eden Institute and awareness for autism for five years.

AMERICAN ROOTS LIVE WITH NASTY NED REVIEW 72 BY NASTY NED

ARL Roots Review 72
click here for full review plus PICS

http://american-roots.blogspot.com/

If you missed week 72 of American Roots Live with Nasty Ned, you missed some of the most honest, young performances of individual roots styles you may've ever seen or heard... anywhere.First, the long-awaited arrival of Smokestack the Foothill Fury, from north Georgia, was nothing less than inspiring and entertaining. Full of fury, like a rolling and tumbling ball of energy, Smokestack played raw, down-from-the-hills blues. A refreshing slap in the face to pretentious, over-produced pop.Here's a back view of his home-made, one-man-band-contraption and guitar. (tip-bucket normally hangs in front.) He plucked, strumed and slid all over that guitar attacking the neck from below and over top. With wailing vocals and kicking feet, Smokestack the Foothill Fury is a crowd pleaser and authentic bluesman.In his own words he is carrying the torch for a music that he loves and encompassing the very feeling of what good ole' blues is all about.We are proud to have presented him on our stage and look forward to his return. He's coming back, maybe as early as next week after a swing through New England and Nova Scotia. Keep an eye out.Then, we were thrilled to welcome back our friend Johnny Thompson, one of the smoothest, most talented young blues guitarists in New Jersey.We're used to hearing Johnny burn it up on the electric guitar, but were far from disappointed by his flawless, enthusiastic set of acoustic pickin' and singin'. At just 22 years of age Johnny Thompson is facing sunny horizons.We look forward to his return very soon.Hershall Dow, with a sound and presence as big as Texas was a crowd favorite twice at ARL 72. His "up yours" outlaw-country swagger set the tone aptly for his witty, often humorous songs.At this pace good 'ol Hershall may become an American Roots Live all star, too.All totalled, number 72 featured 25 unique individual musicians and singers - one for the first time and one for the 100th.Our playlist read: Smokestack the Foothill Fury, Johnny Thompson, Hershall Dow, JR Bradfield, John Powers, Ed Pampani, Mimi Nowak, Keith Autocunas, Len DePiano, Mike Carroll, Lisa Batruch, Ron Seibert, Randy Marinelli, Rich Peterson, Frank Cerulli, Paul Obremski, Ed Avilia, Carl Marcantonio, Rich Koerner, Joe Salerno, Tommy Toye, Gene Gigliardi, Chaz, and drummer Adam Pliss.Thanks to Orphan Annie's, Rick, Karin, Kate and our photographers; Ed and Win.See you soon.Keeping it real,NedPA - Happy belated birthday to our dear, departed brother Bernie Brausewetter 9/10/07
