15th Annual Children's Festival Performers Spotlight: Hudson Vagabond Puppet's "Ferdinand The Bull"
 
Performers for the 15th Annual Children's Festival at The Pavilion have been announced! The festival is Sat., Nov. 13 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sun., Nov. 14 from noon-5 p.m. Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 at the door.  Stayed tuned for additional performer spotlights each week in The Buzz! 

  

Hudson Vagabond Puppets proudly presents "Ferdinand the Bull," based on the classic tale by Munro Leaf and illustrations by Robert Lawson. It's the story of the bull who wouldn't fight told in a narrated ballet with a larger-than-life bull, masked dancers, and specialized mechanical figures.

 

FerdyEach scene brings to life one of the pages of the book and the puppets and scenery are based as closely as possible on the illustrations in the book. After the program, the audience will get involved in an on-stage demonstration of conflict resolution techniques without violence.

 

The only weekend performance of "Ferdinand the Bull" is Sat., Nov. 13 at 3:45 p.m. Artists, dates and times are subject to change without notice.

Featured Artist: Nickelback
 
Fans, get ready to rock out as Nickelback returns to The Pavilion Oct. 15 at 6:20 p.m. Buckcherry and Three Days Grace open for a night of great music.

 

Nickelback, originally from Alberta, arrived on the music scene in the late 1990s with their radio-friendly rock style. Their single, "How You Remind Me," off of their album, "Silver Side Up," caught on in 2001, topped the charts in several countries and helped them earn four Grammy nominations and four Juno Awards.

Nickelback

Bandmates Chad Kroeger, lead singer, Mike Kroeger, bassist, Ryan Peake, guitarist and Daniel Adair, drummer, continually push themselves with each album. "I honestly think that with every song you release you have to keep winning your own fans over again," Chad Kroeger explains. "I want every single song to be amazing. That's what I want to hear, so that's what we have to try to provide to our fans."

 

In 2003, "The Long Road" was released with another chart-topping hit, "Someday." The album sold more than five million copies worldwide. Their next album, "All the Right Reasons," arrived in October 2005 featuring ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons and Pantera's Dimebag Darrell as guests. The album remained in the Billboard Top 30 for more than two years, sold more than seven million copies in the U.S. and produced five Top 20 singles.

 

Nickelback is currently touring in support of their sixth studio album, "Dark Horse." Don't miss the chance to catch them live at The Pavilion Oct. 15. For more information and to buy tickets, click here.

Admission is free for all concertgoers. Enjoy air-conditioning, private restrooms, a HOB Tent Logofull-service bar, appetizer menu and live video-feed of the concert, when available.
