Jungle Jack Hanna will be bringing some of his fun, phenomenal friends to visit on Sunday, April 29. Jack’s love for animals began at a very early age. He writes on his website, “I got my first job when I was 11 working for our family veterinarian, Dr. Roberts, in Knoxville, Tennessee. I spent a lot of time cleaning cages, but didn’t mind because I loved being around all the animals. I worked with Dr. Roberts for several summers, and developed a great respect for animals.” Jungle Jack has had several animal adventure TV shows over the years, and is excited about his newest, Jack Hanna’s Wild Countdown. Check out Jack’s website or tune in to his new show to see some of his favorite experiences with the world’s rarest, most endearing, and fascinating animals.

“Few individuals have symbolized the South in popular culture as directly and indelibly as Charlie Daniels” — Encyclopedia of Southern Culture. Born in rural North Carolina, Charlie was raised on a musical diet that included Pentecostal gospel, local bluegrass, rhythm & blues and country music. All those great musical genres have played a part in the enduring Charlie Daniels success story. Charlie won a Grammy in 1979 for “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.” Thirty-three years later, Charlie has the distinction of being nominated for an ACM award for Vocal Event of the Year for his performance (along with George Jones, who will appear at AMT on June 3) in Aaron Lewis’ song, “Country Boy.” Congratulations, Charlie!

For over fifty years, Neil Sedaka has written, performed, produced, and inspired countless songs. Neil’s interest in music began at the young age of four, but it was not rock ‘n roll, but classical music that would shape Neil into the musician he is today. By the time he was eight years old, he had already begun his intensive classical piano training at the prestigious Julliard School of Music. At 16, Arthur Rubenstein voted Neil as one of the best New York High School pianists. Many years and hundreds of hit songs later, Neil is still wowing audiences, and most recently released “The Music of My Life,” which includes his first ever salsa song.
