Rocking the Stocking XV @ Sky City continues our yearly tradition in honor of Kevin Scott Brown, another loved one we lost too early.  This will feature many Augusta musicians singing in front of a one-night only house band!

LEXIE’S LASTING LEGACY

The Lexie’s Legacy Scholarship fund, founded in memory of Alexis Noelle Colohan-Cannon Hayworth, daughter of local musician John “Stoney” Cannon, has reached endowment status. That means enough money has been raised to keep the scholarship fund, which awards grants to married women seeking a college education, going in perpetuity. It’s a fitting tribute to Alexis and her family, immediate and musical.

It says a great deal about the musicians in this town that in a relatively short time, thanks in no small part to their efforts and contributions, this endowment has gotten up and running. I know Stoney and his wonderful wife, Jean, are grateful.

All of us at Lexie’s Legacy are proud to announce that, as of Thursday, June 18, 2009, 11:00 A.M., the Lexie’s Legacy Scholarship Fund at Augusta State University is now officially an endowment.

Lexie’s Legacy co-founder John “Stoney” Cannon turned over a check for $10,000 to Helen Hendee of the Augusta State Foundation in a meeting held at the ASU Maxwell Alumni House this past Thursday morning. (see attached picture) The majority of the funds were either through donations or raised at events held at downtown venues between April 2008 and February 2009.

The Lexie’s Legacy Scholarship Fund provides additional funding for young married women in college. This Fall the scholarship will be awarded to a second recipient, the first being ASU Nursing student Meshondra Collins.

Upcoming Lexie’s Legacy events include:

The 2nd Annual Lexie’s Legacy Memorial Concert @ Sky City, August 14th.

The Lexie’s Legacy 5K Walk @ Riverwalk, November 14th

For more information email info@lokalloudness.com or call John “Stoney” Cannon at 706.836.5683

Sold more CDs, T-Shirts, and Arm Bands and the cool part is:

A couple hundred people now have A VERY LEXIE CD!!!! and are being turned on to 16 great lokal bands, more people will be walking around with Lexie Tees, and we pulled in another grand for Lexie’s Legacy which I believe puts us over $10,000 raised, halfway to the endowment with some great fundraisers of different proportions coming up to possibly include a walkathon, a cookbook, and dinner.

Our dear friend Scott Hudson came out as special sit-in for Major Deke Copenhaver and presented Jean and I with a special proclamation and framed document officially pronouncing it A VERY LEXIE WEEKEND! This means the world to us and we will cherish it forever.

And the music? Every band seemed driven by not only what the awards brings out every year but the “Melody of Alexis” and it was a most awesome night and weekend overall. And people wonder why I LOVE AUGUSTA MUSIC!

Jeannie and I stuck with tradition and started the night at Mellow Mushroom and ended it at Huddle House.

All that was missing was that beautiful smile and infectious laugh.

Bittersweet.

Jeannie and I cannot properly express how much we love our family AND extended family here in Augusta. This city has taken us in over the years and made us not only feel loved, but we are better people for being allowed the privilege of being a part of this family.

Also much love to our Lexie Crew: Pam, John, Frank, Sara, Jeff…u guys are the rockingest!

And of course huge love and thanks to Coco Rubio and the staff at Sky City. They made it easy.

And a thank you to MY knight in shining armor who is always saving my ass even if he doesn’t really have to: Nick “7G” Laws. It has been a blessing to get to know you better. You are truly a great friend and great person.

Love, Hearts, Stars, and Peace,

Stoney

AUGUSTA, GA - Sixteen tracks by various bands from around the Augusta, Georgia area, “A Very Lexie CD” is a collection of many different styles released by Stoney Cannon from Lokal Loudness. 

Will McCranie opens the album with the high-energy, funky Dave Matthews-with-attitude song “This Time.” The acoustic, bluesy-voiced “Whiskey Bottle” by Allison Foster lets loose with a moody goosebump-inducing song that really stands out on this CD, as does “Promises” by NoStar.

For those craving something a little harder, there are tracks by Shotgun Opera and Suhgarim.  Chairleg’s “Mecha” hits the listener over the head with some straight forward metal. Be warned, some of this stuff will knock your socks off.

“Menthol Longs” by the Dew Hickies is one of the best tracks on the album, sounding a little bit like Hank III.

The Mellencamp / Bon Jovi soft rock of the G-City Rockers runs well with 48 Volt’s dual male-female vocals on “Five Years.” 

A compilation of many talented bands, the real standout aspect of “A Very Lexie CD” is the variety on the album, and the simple fact that so many talented musicians come from within miles of one another. There’s something for everyone on this album.
