Events at Wilson Creek

For nearly four decades Neil Diamond's music has brought joy to millions all over the world.   With a career quite unlike that of any other singer/songwriter, Neil Diamond continues to this day to break new ground with each album. Neil is launching the release of a new album available this June!His songs and his unique voice have permeated the Generation-X'ers alike.

After assembling a band of truly kindred spirits, Surreal Neil and Super Diamond began to perform regularly in San Francisco and then all over the U.S., and something quite wonderful happened.

This concert is a fundraiser for the Sunrise Rotary of Temecula Valley, and proceeds benefit their new project "Safety Town."

What is Safety Town?

Safety Town is a realistic, child-sized town designed to provide a complete hands-on safety education for children entering kindergarten in the fall.  Safety Town consists of a child sized town which has working traffic signals, miniature buildings, cross walks, complete with personal traffic provided by the children on tractors. We at Safety Town wish to give the children a hands-on experience to take with them.

Safety Town is a one-week course that focuses on teaching children safe practices both at school and at home.  The children are instructed on when, where, and how to cross the street.  They are taught bike safety, pedestrian safety, school bus safety, fire safety, seat belt safety, 911 emergency calls, stranger danger and what to do if they find a gun. This program is also geared towards getting children to be comfortable around Law Enforcement and many other important agencies and what the many different uniforms and cars look like.

Marion Meadows

Returning by popular demand, saxophonist Marion Meadows — whose ethnic mix is Native American, African American and Caucasian — grew up in Stamford, Connecticut, where he began playing clarinet and studying classical music at eight years old. His passion for different types of music led him to appreciate numerous jazz musicians, including Stanley Turrentine, Sidney Bichet, Johnny Hodges, Duke Ellington and Coleman Hawkins, and he naturally gravitated to the soprano sax in his high school years. Fortunately for the smooth jazz fans who have embraced his sweet and funky soprano sound over the last decade, Meadows decided to take a few very important trips to Europe during his junior and senior years. He had dreamed of being either a veterinarian or zoologist, and assumed he would enroll in college as a pre-med major. Playing the sax was just a hobby until he saw the way audiences reacted to him and his student cohorts in Holland, Italy and Austria.

Meadows says, “I’ve been involved in a lot of projects, both my own and group efforts, and my main objective is to keep growing as an artist and engage the fans who have invested so much emotion in my music and my career. Aside from that wonderful sense of live communication, the real magic for me happens in the studio when I put on those headphones and begin to play. That’s where the ideas just start to flow. Everything else in my musical life comes out of that moment.”

Nick Colionne

The Chicago born, bred and still residing guitarist, Nick Colionne turned pro at 15, touring all over the world with rock bands and some of the greatest legends of R&B, from The Staples Singers to Curtis Mayfield. Nick Colionne launched his solo career in 1994 with "It's My Turn” which reached #13 on the national charts, and he hasn't looked back since. Nick is an endorsee for Epiphone Guitars (a division of Gibson USA), Gibson Strings and Accessories, AKG Acoustics and Stacy Adams clothing. Nick Colionne's sustained chart-topping Radio history combined with his incredible live performances have propelled him to the upper echelons of smooth jazz stardom. Most recently, he won the International Instrumental Artist of the Year Award by the Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards; the 2006 winner was Trumpeter Chris Botti.

The most exciting part of all of this for me is that I am actually living my dream, getting a chance to play guitar for people in so many places", says Colionne. "The greatest moments come when I look at their faces in the audience when I play, and I realize that I'm making them feel what I'm feeling. That's a fascinating level of communication".
