Selma, AL, March 28, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Starting with a classic car show featuring Ms. Necie and Sounds on Saturday, May 27, TRHT Selma in partnership with the City of Selma as well as the Selma and Dallas County Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Information will work to host ten weeks of free concerts at the Riverfront Amphitheater and Park thanks to funding from the Levitt Foundation.
The Levitt AMP Selma Concert Series events are free to the public and scheduled for May 27th through July 29th, with shows being held at Selma’s Riverfront Amphitheater and Park each Saturday throughout the summer. Musical genres represented will include rhythm and blues, country, bluegrass, jazz, and zydeco.
Last year TRHT Selma, through the Black Belt Community Foundation (BBCF), applied to receive funding to help incorporate the performance arts into the work of equity, inclusion, and economic development. BBCF applied to the Levitt Foundation and won designation as an AMP city in 2022. The Selma Center for Nonviolence, as the TRHT Selma programmatic partner, will assist in outreach to ensure broad community involvement. “TRHT Selma is grateful for the Levitt Foundation and our opportunity to expand the work of narrative change to include performing arts. If we can bring our community together with free live concerts, promote equity and healing, all while encouraging our neighbors who frequent the shows to take advantage of what our downtown has to offer, there’s a win-win-win,” shared TRHT Selma Director Lydia Chatmon.
Selma’s Riverfront Amphitheater and Park was selected as the site to host the free concerts to help spur traffic throughout Selma’s downtown and cause an economic uptick among downtown businesses on the weekend. Danielle Wooten, Director of Planning and Development for the City of Selma explained, “Levitt has a proven track record of being an economic driver and improving the quality of life for funded cities. We will not only have vendors from across the region, but also encourage concert goers to shop and explore Selma’s downtown.”
“Although we applied months ago, this is perfect timing for us to be able to bring some joy and spread love in our community,” said Chamber Executive Director Sheryl Smedley.

Santa Clarita, CA, October 29, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– On Friday, October 31 Loveforce International will release a song about the greatest fear of many single men. The song is by Billy Ray Charles. The topic of the song will either strike fear in or trigger traumatic memories for many men.
Billy Ray Charles scary new Digital Music Single is entitled “I Don’t Wanna Be Like A Brother”. It is a powerful R&B song with intricate rhythms, a steady beat, and hook filled vocal riffs. Lyrically its about a guy who is not stuck in the “friend” zone, which is talked about a lot, but in the “brother from another mother” zone which is not often talked about but can be even more devastating. It is a situation many men dread, and those who have survived it, never forget. The song attempts to make the listener feel the torment but be too catchy to feel sad.
“This is the third of our Strange Halloween Trilogy of songs released in October,” said Loveforce International CEO Mark Thomas. “The first was Scary, by Anna Hamilton and second was Trump’s Biggest Fear by The Loveforce Collective.
Thomas clarified, “We call the releases “Strange” because they address fears that aren’t always obvious in public media. Anna Hamilton’s “Scary” is about the scary feelings some have about falling in love, The Loveforce Collective’s “Trump’s Biggest Fear” illustrates how even The President can have fears and Billy Ray Charles’ release, about a subtle fear that comes with any romantic relationship.”
Billy Ray Charle’s new single “I Don’t Wanna Be Like A Brother” will be released to Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Instagram, Facebook, Claro Musica, iHeart Radio, iTunes, Deezer, KK Box, Boomplay, Media Net, Touchtones, Soundtrack by Twitch, Snapchat, NetEase, Anghami, TikTok, Resso, Flo, Audio Mack, Kuack, Pretzel, Gio Saavan, Yandex and Pretzel.
