THE GRAPEVINE 
The Grapevine Band was founded in the “heart” of soul and rock and roll music, Macon, Georgia. Today, the band is recognized throughout Georgia and the southeast as "The Premier Party Band”! Since 1987, this band has been electrifying corporate events, conventions, wedding receptions, class reunions and other events. In 2000, The Grapevine Band received the prestigious Band of the Year award from the Atlanta Society of Entertainers. Its recent 30th year reunion was celebrated by the Macon Magazine. The Grapevine’s musical heritage was shaped by the member’s early high school and college fraternity party bands, as well as local and national soul, blues, beach, rock and roll bands and musicians from the 1960’s forward. You are invited to come party with the award-winning The Grapevine Band! A night with The Grapevine Band is truly an unforgettable experience!!

DR. MICHAEL BRAZ
Dr. Michael Braz is a nationally- and internationally-known music educator, composer, and clinician. For over 40 years, his pianistic and teaching skills have made music accessible to a variety of children and adults on three continents. ​Dr. Braz participates in a variety of community volunteer activities and his hobbies are comparative religions and trekking in the Nepal Himalaya.

Dr. Braz received his B.M. and M.M. degrees from the University of Miami, later completing a Ph.D. as a University Fellow at Florida State University. A keyboard soloist in England's Haslemere Festival of Early Music (directed by Dr. Carl Dolmetsch), he has also collaborated with numerous orchestras, music festivals, and ensembles ranging from chamber music to jazz and rock. Several years ago, he embarked on a one-year teaching sabbatical, instructing faculty and students of various ages and backgrounds at St. Benedict's Catholic School and Performing Arts College (Derby, England), Nepal Music Center (Kathmandu), and Huazhong Normal University (Wuhan, China).


While teaching at Miami's Barry University, Braz wrote and premiered his first opera, Memoirs from the Holocaust, inspired by a visit to the Dachau concentration camp site. He has written orchestral/ choral commissions for professional, collegiate, and school/community ensembles across the country, and was a recipient of an American Composers Forum/Rockefeller Brothers Fund "Faith Partners" grant. Currently, he has over twenty published works in print. In 2007, he premiered his second opera (A Scholar Under Siege) concerning racial politics in 1941 Georgia and the firing of a respected college president by the populist governor of that state.
