Article and Picture links for the Tomball Texas Charity concert….

According to the article entitled ‘Movie star Costner sings to make ‘dreams’ come true for hospital’ by Anna Schumann, “a live auction raised more than $70,000,” including posters signed by KC and “a surprise package donated by Costner himself was announced near the end of the auction and was the evening’s best seller at $30,000. What Costner donated was priceless: a trip for four to visit him on-set for a day at the filming of his next movie, wherever it takes place, then join him for dinner that evening. More than 100 fans paid to meet with him after the show, when he signed autographs and took pictures with fans.” Kevin said, “I am so pleased to be here tonight in the name of charity. I can’t think of a better reason to play music.” See the article and picture at the following link:

I thought this excerpt was kinda cute, from the Concert Review by Peter Mongillo, of Will Johnson playing at the Mohawk: “My name’s Will,” he said, thanking the audience as he began a set in which he bobbed around on stage with his guitar and poked fun at the fact that “Dances With Wolves” star Kevin Costner was playing across town with his band at Antone’s (“What the hell is going on in there,” he asked)

Article, picture and video links from Edmonton concert….

I love the way Graham Hicks described it, when KC & MW played the Edmonton Ball per the following link:
http://www.edmontonsun.com/News/Columnists/Hicks_Graham/2009/01/25/8138791-sun.html
“The ladies fell all over themselves when Kevin Costner made his entrance by nonchalantly strolling the length of the hall to join his band the Modern West on stage.” And “But he dripped with gentle charisma and the ladies did swoon over the guy ... all night long.”

At the following link, VIDEO - Kevin Costner was at the Shaw Conference Centre on January 23, playing with his band:

Kevin Costner To Serve As 2009 NASCAR Day Spokesperson….

The NASCAR Foundation announced yesterday that actor/musician Kevin Costner will serve as the 2009 NASCAR Day spokesperson. Celebrated on May 15, NASCAR Day is an opportunity for fans, corporations, schools and organizations across the country to make donations to The NASCAR Foundation to raise funds for its Family of Charities in an effort to help thousands of children live better lives. Costner will appear in print, radio and television advertising to promote the industry’s charitable initiative.

Past celebrity supporters for NASCAR Day include Will Ferrell, Kelly Clarkson, Garth Brooks and several NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers.

Costner recently announced a year-long partnership with NASCAR that includes an appearance in a NASCAR Day commercial with NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Kyle Petty that debuts at the Daytona 500; narration of the CMT documentary The Ride of Their Lives; the NASCAR film and music video debut of Backyard, the newest single by Costner’s band Modern West on NASCAR.COM that also serves as the theme song for the NASCAR Day campaign this year.

“We are thrilled to have Kevin be the spokesperson for our NASCAR Day efforts,” said Betty Jane France, chairwoman of The NASCAR Foundation. “Kevin has been welcomed into the NASCAR family over the last year with the number of events he has participated in and he will be a great ambassador for NASCAR Day and The NASCAR Foundation.”

“Having long been a NASCAR fan, it’s a great honor to serve as this year’s NASCAR Day spokesperson,” said Kevin Costner. “Through this event, NASCAR fans can make a difference in their own backyard and just as the theme of this year’s event states – help those in need to chase their own dreams.”

In 2008, The NASCAR Foundation donated nearly $1.3 million to more than 50 organizations from funds raised during NASCAR Day.
