Behind the Scenes with Organizers and Performers
Bill Bowman, publisher of Up & Coming Weekly community newspaper, shared the inspiration behind the Gates Four Summer Concert Series.
"We wanted to create a free event that brings the community together to enjoy great music in a beautiful outdoor setting. Summer music concerts are an ideal way to celebrate the season, and Gates Four provides the perfect venue," he explained.
Bowman also provided valuable insights into the event. "We believe in the power of music to unite people and create memorable experiences. Hosting this concert series allows us to give back to the community while supporting local artists. It's about fostering a sense of togetherness, having fun, and celebrating the arts in Fayetteville," Bowman stated.
"Up & Coming Weekly and Beasley Media Group play a pivotal role in promoting the event, ensuring the community knows it's a free concert and gets them excited about attending. Our team works hard to spread the word through various media channels, including radio, print ads , and digital media. We are committed to highlighting local events that enrich the community and bring people together." he added.
Ron Goveia, the manager of Heart Breaker, described what attendees can expect from the concert.
"We are the ultimate HEART tribute in the U.S. A national touring act based in North Carolina that performs each song with love, respect, and a true passion for the original material. Our goal is to bring a truly transcendent and pitch-perfect concert experience, both musically and visually," Goveia said.
Goveia emphasized what sets Heart Breaker apart from other tribute bands.
"First, I would say it is the quality of the music. We pride ourselves on staying true to paying tribute to the original Heart group and the Wilson sisters. I always tell people who have never been to a Heart concert to come to a Heart Breaker concert, close their eyes, and it will be the same as being at a Heart concert. We also pride ourselves on being 100 percent live. We do not use any pre-recorded tracks or technical enhancements of any kind. Our harmonies are important to us, and we put a lot of work into ensuring they are perfect," he noted. "Practice makes perfect. Heart Breaker puts the time in to ensure they deliver a quality show every time. It also helps that these six musicians have played together for many years." he said.
