*Just a note of thanks to Jamie Carter and the team from NMU's PRSSA for all their help with Kaleidoscope and with helping with the promotion of my concert and other upcoming events. They have come along side with my management team and have been a great help with events and setting up future events. Below you find more information on PRSSA and the names of all the ones helping at this time! Same info can be found under the Concert Sponsor link on my website.
This semester, a committee of NMU’s Public Relation Student Society of America (PRSSA) members has been established to help with the promotions and publicity side of Adam Whittington's March 19th concert. The committee has been hard at work volunteering their time by helping put up posters at local businesses, handing out flyers and making the community and the campus of NMU aware of not only the March concert, but also of Adam’s music. They are constantly brainstorming ideas on how to get Adam’s name out there, and are hoping to plan a few events for him in the near future. Members of the committee are: Kate Annala, Jamie Carter, Andrea Hitt, Geoff Holloway, Scott Jensen, Laura Niemela, and Brandon Wrobel.

NMU’s Public Relation Student Society of America (PRSSA) is the world’s most paramount pre-professional organization for students interested in the field of public relations. Each year the NMU chapter puts together a successful annual campaign to raise money for a local charity. The campaign entails a ski and snowboard competition and a 3 on 3 basketball tournament. This year’s benefiting charity is Teaching Family Homes of Marquette. Both of these events not only generate a large amount of community support, but also, PRSSA members plan these events, which gives them valuable events coordination experience.
Great to see all the kids and adults at Kaleidoscope! Thanks for stopping by! Hope everyone had a great time!

ADAM WHITTINGTON CONCERT
Other Featured Performers
Opening for Adam and performing a few duets with him is Becky Cairati. She is 19 and a freshman at Northern Michigan University. Becky lives at home with her very supportive parents and brother. Her sister, who is also very encouraging, attends U of M. Becky loves a variety of music and has written many of her own songs which have been written from her personal experiences. Along with being a very talented singer/songwriter, she has also been in several musicals, including High School Musical. Other things Becky enjoys are playing guitar, playing soccer, basketball, and softball to name a few. For her senior year of high school- MSHS, she spent the year as a Rotary Exchange Student in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. During her stay, she became fluent in Spanish and performs some of her music in that language. Part of Becky's dream is to become a musical performer.
*Adam and Becky actually met during the High School Musical 3 years ago as he played a lead role as Troy and Becky in a lead role as Gabriella. All 4 shows were sold-out performances with an amazing cast directed by Nikke Nason of Marquette Arts and Culture Center.
Also opening for Adam is Ethan Bott. Ethan is a very talented 13 year old who lives with his supportive parents, sister and Newfoundland Roxie in Marquette. He attends Bothwell Middle School where he is involved in choral and jazz band. He has been singing and playing guitar for four years and plays both electric and acoustic. Ethan has started writing songs within the last year and will be performing two of them at the March Concert. Some of his music is written with more of a rock flair. Other interests he has are piano, skateboarding and snowboarding. He snowboards most weekends at the Marquette Mountain. Ethan also had an opportunity to perform at one of Matt Sia's local concerts and has opened for Chasin Steel at the Upfront and Company. He came highly recommended to be part of this concert due to his gifts and talents.
Both Ethan and Becky will also thoroughly impress you with their songwriting abilities and vocals.

Phelps Select Choir Ishpeming - Intermission Pop songs
Hey everyone! Just letting you know I'm working on new songs and hoping it won't be long and I'll be putting together my next CD. I will be singing a few of the new ones at my upcoming Concert in March. I appreciate all the input I've been getting on my first CD and youtube videos etc... Your input matters. February is fast approaching which means only a couple months till Spring. For us in the Upper Peninsula, spring may not be till April or May, but it is on it's way. If you haven't got a ticket yet for the concert, I hope you'll get out and get one soon. I will be posting more info on who else is involved in it this week. Keep checking back for new updates and to check out my calendar. Events get added all the time and I hope to get to see you at some of them!
Keep praying for Haiti and give if you can!
Adam
Hey everyone!
I am very excited about things falling into place for the concert, but I do have the tragedy that took place in Haiti on my mind. I'm encouraging all of us to pray and find an organization you can donate to that will help them.
Hope all of you are having a great New Year and if you have time, drop me a line or two on my guest book, myspace, or facebook! I'll be giving more info on the concert and others who will be involved next week!
God Bless,
Adam
