Country Legends Willie Nelson, Charlie Daniels Band coming to Meadowbrook in June
GILFORD — Meadowbrook is bringing two legends to one stage when Willie Nelson and the Charlie Daniels Band hit the Meadowbrook stage on Friday, June 14 for a spectacular night of outlaw country.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, February 15 at 10 a.m. and range from $31.25-$77. To order, call (603) 293-4700 or log on to www.Meadowbrook.net.
As a songwriter and a performer, Willie Nelson played a vital role in post-rock & roll country music. Nelson spent the '60s writing songs that became hits for stars like Ray Price, as well as releasing records that earned him a small cult following. He borrowed from a wide variety of styles, including traditional pop, Western swing, jazz, cowboy songs, honky tonk, rock & roll, folk, and the blues, creating a distinctive hybrid. Following the breakthrough success of The Red Headed Stranger, Outlaw Country became a sensation.
Willie continued to have hits throughout the 70's and '80s. He had major crossover success in 1982 with a cover of Elvis Presley's hit "Always on My Mind." After the release of Across the Borderline, Nelson continued to work steadily, releasing at least one album a year and touring constantly. In 1993, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, but by that time, he had already become a living legend. Nelson's most recent release, entitled Heroes, debuted in the summer of 2012.
From his Dove Award winning gospel albums to his genre-defining Southern rock anthems and his CMA Award-winning country hits, few artists have left a more indelible mark on America's musical landscape than Charlie Daniels. An outspoken patriot, beloved mentor to young artists and still a road warrior at age 76, Charlie has parlayed his passion for music into a multi-platinum career and a platform to support the military, underprivileged children and others in need.
Over the course of his career, Charlie has received numerous accolades including induction into the Grand Ole Opry and Musicians Hall of Fame. He's been presented the Pioneer Award by the Academy of Country Music and was honored as a BMI Icon in recognition of his songwriting. He's also received a star on the Music City Walk of Fame.

Young Melanoma Survivors will Speak to Teens in NH about Tanning Risks
LACONIA — As part of a growing national effort to prevent melanoma in teens and young adults, students from throughout New Hampshire will be taking part in educational programs offered by the Melanoma Foundation of New England (MFNE) in collaboration with the New Hampshire Comprehensive Cancer Collaboration (NH CCC)
A 'Teens on Tanning' Forum will be held on Friday, Feb. 15 at Pitman's Freight Room, Laconia, from 3-7 p.m.
The Teens on Tanning Forums are designed to educate high school students about sun safety and the risks associated with tanning. At the forums, several young melanoma survivors will share their first-hand experiences about the effects of tanning. Participating teens will receive information and training to help them identify, plan and implement key initiatives at the community grassroots level to raise awareness about the dangers of tanning and adopt sun safe behaviors. Attendees will receive a community service certificate, healthy skin goody bag, T-shirt, pizza, and more.
Melanoma is the second most common cancer in teens and young adults age 15-29. The American Cancer Society estimated 470 new cases of melanoma would be diagnosed in New Hampshire in 2012, and the most likely causes include unhealthy tanning practices and exposure to the harmful UV rays of tanning beds. People who use a tanning bed just once a month before the age of 35 increase their risk of melanoma by 75 percent.
