Cornerstone, an independent rock band from Modling, Austria, prepares for their first tour of the U.S. with shows in the south, midwest and northeast. Since the late 60s, bands have been "crossing the pond" to find fame and fortune in the United States. Enter Cornerstone (Austria), the next generation of rock and roll. Cornerstone is comprised of Carina Sethaler on vocals/guitar, Michael Wachelhofer on bass/keys/vocals, Stefan Wachelhofer, guitar/vocals, and Martin Key, drums/percussion. Winning the "Next Big Thing" contest sponsored by Alternative Addiction in 2008, Cornerstone seeks to capitalize on that early success by touring in both the United Kingdom and the United States. The band's summer U.S. tour begins in the metro Atlanta, GA, area and travels north, where the band will share the stage with singer/songwriter Jeffrey Gaines on Saturday July 18th at New Albany's The Ogle Center. Gaines has been releasing critically acclaimed music since 1992, when Rolling Stone magazine raved about his self-titled debut CD. Through the years Jeffrey has performed on World Café Live, The Mountain Stage, Good Morning America and Late Night with Conan O'Brien and has done nationwide tours opening for Sting, Stevie Nicks and Melissa Etheridge.

The Rock, Rhythm & Soul Exhibit will open in the Ogle Center Lobby on July 27 and run through August 31. Rock, Rhythm & Soul consists of nine double-banner panels, each highlighting specific genres and issues related to the history of African American popular music. The exhibit draws upon materials from the AAAMC's extensive collection, and each banner presents viewers with images and text highlighting musical milestones and personalities, and a concise time line of key historic events. Topics featured include soul, funk, hip-hop, gospel, rhythm and blues music, black rock, black radio and the Civil Rights Movement. The exhibit was created by Indiana University's Archives of African American Music and Culture (AAAMC), one of the largest scholastic repositories devoted to black music and expression.
