MOArally
NBC’s The Voice. She also sang the National Anthem before the NBC Sunday Night Football game between the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints while dressed in pink to help kick-off the NFL’s support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month last year. She is currently touring with a “big bad” Nashville band, singing all of her original songs and capturing audi- ences all over the country. We are VERY fortunate to have her perform for our event. Visit
www.meghanlin-
sey.com/ for more information and to hear four of Meghan’s tracks. Saturday will be filled with great
rides, sites and tours, not to mention that last chance to run to that vendor for that farkle you have been eyeing all weekend! Make your day full and fun, but be back in time to get something to eat/drink and to get your spot picked out for the evening because the MOA Foundation AND Camp GEARS will be bringing you an up- close evening with two of the hottest bands around! First we have Canadian sensation
The Brothers Landreth. Twenty-seven years. Four band- mates. Two brothers. One album. Let It Lie, the debut release from Cana- dian roots-rockers the Brothers Lan- dreth is proof that there’s strength in numbers. Anchored by the bluesy wail of electric guitars, the swell of B3 organ, and the ha rmoni z ed swoon of two voices were

mesh as you lis- ten you might call it Ameri- cana. Dig deeper, though, and you’ll hear the

nuances separate
The Brothers Landreth. Let It Lie was recorded in a straw bale house in southern Manitoba, during one of the coldest winters in recent memory. Working with producer Murray Pulver, the Brothers Lan- dreth found warmth in the songs
that Joey and David had written at home, brewing up an earthy, earnest sound that has since drawn comparisons to the Eagles, the Allman Brothers and Jackson Browne.

Then one of our favorite rally performers
is back! The Paul Thorn Band has come on board
as a strong supporter of the MOA Founda- tion, Camp GEARS and all of the important
The Brothers Landreth
Diffie, Tanya Tucker, Ronnie Milsap, and Carole King, to name a few. It helps that those big vocal hooks are
being reinforced by the sound of Thorn’s dynamic band. During their two decades in the club, theater and festival trenches, the four-piece band and their frontman have garnered a reputation for shows that rico- chet from humor to poignancy to knock-

motorcycle safety and public outreach pro- grams supported by the MOA. Paul has selected a special list of his favorite songs just for his BMW MOA friends. An UNRE- LEASED collection of Paul Thorn tunes on a CD only available through the BMW MOA will be sold at the rally, with proceeds going directly to the BMW MOA Founda- tion! Yes, really! Now you have your chance to own the very best of Paul Thorn AND support our Foundation! “In the past, I’ve told stories that were
mostly inspired by my own life,” the former prizefighter and “son of a preacher man” offers. “This time, I’ve written 10 songs that express more universal truths, and I’ve done it with a purpose: to make people feel good.” Hailing from Tupelo, Mississippi, Paul
Thorn was a prizefighter and skydiver before becoming a singer/songwriter. As a boxer, Thorn once fought against Roberto Duran, and as a musician he has toured and collaborated with Sting, Paul Carrack, Joe
out rock ‘n’ roll. Guitarist Bill Hinds is the perfect, edgy foil for Thorn’s warm, laconic salt o’ the earth delivery – a veritable living library of glowing tones, sultry slide and sonic invention. Keyboardist Michael “Dr. Love” Graham displays a gift for melody that reinforces Thorn’s hooks while creating his own impact and expanding the group’s rhythmic force. Meanwhile, drummer Jef- frey Perkins and bassist Ralph Friedrichsen are a driving force, propelling every tune with just the right amount of up-tempo power or deep-in-the-groove restraint. There are only three words in my vocabu- lary that adequately describe this band: Killer, Killer, Killer! And on a personal note, they are just
plain good people. Visit
