Jeff Dedekker wrote an article entitled, ‘Costner and the curiousity factor’ and in it wrote: “Although Costner is the most expensive act brought in by the Casino -- he also has the venue's highest ticket prices at $85 and $80 -- the concert sold out in early January.”

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.
