Daha Sonra Çal Daha Sonra Çal Listeler Beğen BeğenildiBorn to American parents in Beirut, Lebanon, Patrick Adams’ love of travel may have begun on his first flight when he was just four days old. Patrick spent his early years in such exotic locations as Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and Las Palmas, Canary Islands.

With tales set in France, Australia, India, Japan, Brazil, and Italy, each story features exploration, mischief, and magic in some of the world’s most enchanting places. A second series called Rhythm’s World debuted in February 2017 and is built around Patrick’s daughter, Rhythm. A subsequent “series within a series” called Rhythm’s World Tour encompasses three books about North America, Europe, and Asia. Rhythm Meets Lyric, released in 2021, celebrates Rhythm’s new sister, Lyric. Among the awards Patrick Adams has received for his children’s books are the Readers Favorite Award Book Excellence Award, Hot Diggity Award, Maincrest Media Award, and Independent Press Award. In 2021, Patrick Adams’ debut children’s album, the Hot Diggity Award-winning Amazing World, was released, and he also launched his NAPPA Award-winning Kindie Rock Stars podcast, which celebrates other children’s musicians.

Daha Sonra Çal Daha Sonra Çal Listeler Beğen BeğenildiAs one of the founding members, lead singer, lead guitarist, and wrote more than 90% of the Grand Funk music catalog, Farner has always been known as the energetic driving force on stage, the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad to the top of the charts. From his soulful voice and power rock riffs, to fueling the Funk with his atomic stage presence. His story and his imprint on music starts with Flint and since 1969 from his humble beginnings and a blue-collar outlook, Farner has captained a global crusade for love, peace and freedom and became a rock ‘n’ roll icon. “Closer to My Home” is the long-awaited, new nine-song album from the legendary guitarist and singer/ songwriter. Bridging past and present, the grit of industry and the calloused hard work of a rural man, “Closer to My Home” champions Farner’s multi-faceted artistry. Celebrating the 55th anniversary of the iconic hit “(I’m Your Captain) Closer To My Home” the album is highlighted with a re-record, finding Farner in exactly the same form as 1970. This is a classic! Listen to this! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
