Chesney Claire “Come Alive”

It’s been an amazing year so far! Chesney has been nominated for 7 music industry awards and she is releasing her new single, “Come Alive” this week. She just finished shooting the official music video for the new single with Los Angeles Director, Josh Sikkema and she’s had sync opportunities placing her music on prime time television. Chesney has a new management team which consists of USA contact David Davidian (TM- Alice Cooper/The Hollywood Vampires) and Carla Potter (United Kingdom). Chesney is also represented by The Banner Agency in Nashville, TN. Pop/RnB Singer/Neo Soul Songwriter Chesney Claire was born July 10, 2001. She graduated from Bell City High School in Bell City, Louisiana in 2019. Right after graduation, Chesney moved to Branson, Missouri to work and ultimately begin her music career. With the help of Music Producer Rich Brown and Atlantis Recording, Chesney would successfully record and release 6 cover singles. While in Branson, Chesney’s talents caught the eye (and ears) of several Las Vegas producers and songwriters. In March of 2020, Chesney and her “Momager” Kim Hebert found themselves moving across the country to “Sin City”, (Las Vegas) in order to be closer to more industry professionals. Immediately upon moving to Vegas, Chesney provided vocals for two original songs that were recorded and released. Mid 2020 (amongst COVID) proved to be the perfect opportunity to write music. With 47 original songs under her belt, she flew to Orlando, FL with a local Vegas producer and had her 1st original single, “15 Candles” perfected by Producer Tim Coons (Pres. of Cheiron Music Group/Original Producer of The Backstreet Boys). “15 Candles” was released June 12, 2020. Soon after “15 Candles” was released, Chesney began working on her next release, “Moving On”. By September of 2020 Chesney started making preparations to release “Moving On”, but Industry Awards poured in and demanded her attention. In 2020 alone, Chesney was nominated for an Independent Music Award for her Michael Jackson cover of “Bad”. She was also nominated for Best Upcoming Artist at the Las Vegas Music Awards, and she won Female Artist of The Year at Indie Star Radio in Hollywood, California. Fast forward to December 18, 2020, Chesney released “Moving On”. Chesney’s single “Hours” was released February 1, 2021. Chesney’s newest release “Come Alive” is scheduled for release May 14th, 2021. She continues to write music to add to her “Magic Book of Spells” (as she calls it). You can be expecting more new original releases in the very near future. Chesney considers her music her business. She owns her own Publishing Company and works hard every day making new contacts and developing new business relationships. Chesney is an Alumni of PCG Artist Development in Nashville, Tennessee and has worked with NPA Management, Limited in the UK. She has worked with Producer Tim Coons (Backstreet Boys, N’Sync, JoJo, etc), Producer Rich Brown, Multiplatinum Producer Victor “Vino” Merritt, (Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, U2, etc) and Producer Luis “The LP” Pachecho (Jason Derulo, 50 Cent, Alicia Keys, Five Finger Death Punch, Lady GaGa). Chesney’s plan is to ultimately be signed to a major record label and tour the world Additional Artist/Song Information: Artist Name: Chesney Claire w/Jai Sessions Song Title: Come Alive Publishing: Chesney Claire Publishing Affiliation: BMI Album Title: Come Alive Record Label: Chesney Claire Radio Promotion: National Record Promotion Larry Weir 323-658-7448 [email protected] Manager: David Davidian [email protected] Booking Agent: The Banner Agency Donna Lee (615) 908-1010 [email protected] Read the full article

Yankees Minor League Assignment Breakdown

Extended Spring Training/Not Assigned Guys

For those not aware, extended spring training is typically reserved for players who haven’t played organized ball yet, or guys that are coming off an injury. In a normal year, extended spring training typically goes from the beginning of April to mid-June, when the players would then go to rookie ball. However, with the pandemic and the reduction of minor league teams this year, I’m not sure how long they’ll be kept there or if everyone would get promoted eventually. In extended spring, the games are typically not publicized and are a little more loose with the rules, and mostly meant for development, but there will be some scouts that’ll go to games and we’ll get to see at least SOME footage of these guys.

Also included in this list are players who are not assigned to any minor league team, which could mean that instead of going there for development, they could be rehabbing an injury.

Jasson Dominguez, OF (#1 Yankees Prospect)

Everyone at this point has heard the buzz about Jasson—despite early reports that he was going to be assigned to High-A Hudson Valley (which would have been ludicrous) he’s starting in extended spring training. Five tool player who’s getting insane comparisons to Mickey Mantle, Jasson will get his feet wet and we’ll all finally get to see if he’s more than just a batting practice monster.

youtube

Yoendrys Gomez, RHP (#8 Yankees Prospect)

Gomez not being assigned is worrisome for two reasons—he’s already pitched in A ball, already pitched in MLB Spring Training this season, and is on the 40 Man already. This means the 21 year old either really declined over the past year and a half, or is more likely dealing with some sort of injury. Gomez is famous for his nasty curveball, but also has a mid 90’s fastball and a decent change up, and has pretty good command for someone his age and with his lack of experience.

Alexander Vizcaino, RHP (#9 Yankees Prospect)

Vizcaino is in the same boat as Gomez—already pitched in the minors, already on the 40 Man- but he didn’t pitch in Spring Training this year and turns 24 this month. He already projected more as a reliever, but the fact that he’s not assigned to a MILB team at his age and lack of experience means he’s even more likely to get forced in that role or traded. Vizcaino is a ground ball machine, with a sinking fastball and the best changeup in the Yankees organization, but struggles to get swing and misses and doesn’t have a good breaking ball yet.

Kevin Alcantara, OF (#12 Yankees Prospect)

Dominguez gets a lot of hype (and deservingly so) but a lot of scouts rave about Alcantara as a prospect as well- he’s a 6’6” outfielder who turns 19 this year, and has the frame and ability to be someone who crushes bombs while playing elite defense in the corner outfield. The Yankees have also really been impressed with his work ethic and his baseball IQ, and the main issue that scouts have noticed with him is he has an issue with whiffs, but that seems to be more of a barrel accuracy issue as opposed to a serious concern. There is a legitimate chance that both Kevin and Jasson end up patrolling the outfield in the Bronx by 2025.

youtube

Alexander Vargas, SS (#13 Yankees Prospect)

Vargas is someone that has a LOT of upside but also a lot of potential risk—he’s a 6’ shortstop that turns 20 this year, and he projects to be a really good defensive player. The Yankees signed Vargas using the money they got in the Chasen Shreve and Gio Gallegos trade, so it might not just be Luke Voit for the return. He has a good hit tool (55 grade from MLB Pipeline) to go along with plus base running, plus fielding, and a plus arm, but due to his lack of strength (155 pounds at 6 feet) has a hard time putting any juice on the ball. He is a switch hitter which always helps, but believing in him becoming more than a AAAA player means you have to believe in him adding some muscle and being able to actually drive the ball. If he does that, then he may have future All Star upside.

youtube

Josh Smith, SS (#14 Yankees Prospect)

Smith is listed as a shortstop, but he’s really a future utility player in all likelihood. Smith was an awesome player at LSU, but he’s really more of a jack of all trades, master of none prospect. He’s already 23 and hasn’t made it to Low A yet, so he’s already a couple years older than his peers, but if he can live up to his potential you’re looking at a guy with good bat to ball skills and capable enough defense anywhere in the infield and potentially the outfield.

youtube

TJ Sikkema, LHP (#16 Yankees Prospect)

A left handed pitching prospect for the Yankees is super rare, and the Yankees spent a first round pick on him in 2019 after dominating at Missouri. He’s got good command over his pitches (currently a low 90s heater, a good change up, and a slider) and is able to tunnel all three pitches well. He doesn’t have a ton of high end upside, but he does have a seemingly high floor as a swingman or fourth/fifth starter and could move up the ranks pretty quickly as a starter.

youtube

Everson Pereira, OF (#17 Yankees Prospect)

Pereira is the third of the Yankees trio of good outfield prospects that’ll be in Extended Spring Training—he’s already had a taste of minor league ball and played in the Appalachian League as a 17 year old. Projecting more as a corner outfielder, Pereira went from a prospect with good fielding and decent speed who had the potential for high contact rates to someone who struck out a lot in his first pro games (33% strikeout rate) after putting on some muscle and trying to generate more power. He is still really young, but with other outfielders in the system he’s going to need to start producing or he’s trade bait as he is Rule 5 eligible this offseason.

This Work Will Put Mark Bradford among the 10 Most Expensive Living Artists

Mark Bradford, Helter Skelter I, 2007. Courtesy of Phillips / Phillips.com.

Last May, the artist Mark Bradford represented the United States at the Venice Biennale with a show-stopping suite of work installed in a ripped-up pavilion. In November, his show opened at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C.; and at Art Basel in Miami Beach in December, Hauser & Wirth sold a Bradford out of its booth for $5 million—one of the biggest sticker shocks of the fair’s first day. A show in Hauser’s Los Angeles space, which opened this month, sold out within a few days. The going prices for the ten paintings, between $2.5 million and $5 million, place in the uppermost bracket for any work put on the primary market for the first time.

Those institutional and market stepping stones paved the way to the present moment, when one of his paintings hits the block at Phillips’s London salesroom on March 8th for his biggest sale ever. At forty feet long, Helter Skelter I (2007) is also the one of the largest Bradfords to ever exchange hands—and with an estimate of £6 million to £8 million ($8.3 million to $11.1 million) it will be the priciest.

The sale has been guaranteed by a third party and will nearly double the artist’s previous auction record $5.8 million. It will take just a few more bids above the guarantee price to make Mark Bradford one of the most expensive living American artists, alongside Brice Marden and Frank Stella, and make him the most expensive living artist of color.

“I think that he is the most important living abstract painter—the fact that that painting is likely to break the $10 million mark is a consequence of his extraordinary significance as a painter,” said Christopher Bedford, the director of the Baltimore Museum of Art, who helped put together the exhibition in Venice.

In the decade since it was made, Helter Skelter I has wound through private collections and public museums, passing through the hands of a collector who runs a $3 billion forklift company and a racket-smashing tennis superstar. It’s a work grand enough to merit the way collectors have pursued it, and it’s an integral part of Bradford’s whole practice—one coveted piece that can sum up and explain his entire ascent.

“This is among one of his most significant paintings, and so does it deserve this degree of attention? As one of the most important paintings by today’s most important abstract painter?” Bedford asked.

He paused, considered his own query, and then said, dryly, “Probably.”

Helter Skelter I was started in 2007 in Inglewood, the Los Angeles neighborhood where Bradford’s studio was located at the time. The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York hosted a small but breakthrough show in 2007 and subsequently purchased the twenty-foot-long Bread and Circuses (2007). Soon after his Whitney show, New York’s New Museum asked Bradford to make a work for its brand-new, month-old building on the Bowery to appear in “Collage: The Unmonumental Picture.” He took full advantage of the expanded exhibition space and began the monumental task of putting together a pair of works, Helter Skelter I and Helter Skelter II, that, when installed next to each other, would stretch across the side of the building. The work was striking: a blitzkrieg assemblage of stuff, a collage intimate up close and monstrous to take in fully, a spindly web studded with text snippets—“CANDY,” “KING,” “BEST”—with skeleton heads peeking out from beneath the fog.

“Bradford’s behemoth collages, stretching across another 70-foot wall, with their silver paint over torn-up advertising posters lacerated by networks of fluid, incised lines, are as tough as the street and just as resistant to simple answers or unearned beauty,” wrote Thomas Micchelli in the Brooklyn Rail, adding that the works “can be considered not merely the finest in the show but quite possibly the best contemporary art on view anywhere in New York.”

Bedford said the work marks a key progression in Bradford’s practice, where he was applying the process of adding objects from his outside world to his production in his studio world, but on a much larger scale.

“You can deep dive into the surface of this canvas, you see the application of the silver, you see a lot of caulking, you see the use of string embedded in the surface, there is colored paper, there’s printed paper, there’s custom printed paper, there’s found objects,” Bedford said.

Bedford was working as a curator at the Wexner Center for the Arts, a museum in Columbus, Ohio, putting together the artist’s first survey, when he first encountered Helter Skelter I. From 2010 until 2012, the survey would travel to the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Although Helter Skelter I wasn’t included in all the show’s various touring iterations, Bedford chose to write about it in the catalogue, as it was already a talisman for Bradford.

“Mark will talk about this in a semi-mystical way—he feels that he has X-number of truly significant paintings in his body,” Bedford said. “I believe Helter Skelter I belongs in that lineage of paintings.”

It wasn’t in Bedford’s show because it found a new home shortly after its debut. Chelsea gallery Sikkema Jenkins Co., who represented Bradford until 2013, had mounted a show of new work by him in 2008. When the New Museum show closed, partners Brent Sikkema and Michael Jenkins made a deal to sell Helter Skelter I to a collector interested in the gigantic canvas. (Jenkins said in an email he was “not interested in discussing Mark Bradford work.”)

The Phillips catalogue lists the first owner as “Private collection, Ohio,” and three people familiar with the works have said the private collector in Ohio is James F. Dicke II, the CEO of the New Bremen-based forklift company Crown Equipment, which is worth close to $3 billion, according to Forbes. Dicke is a painter himself, and a major donor to Republican politicians. In 2016, as a GOP delegate, he cast a vote at his party’s national convention, and after the election voiced his support for Donald Trump.

Dicke is also a major supporter of the Dayton Art Institute. A representative from Crown Equipment who confirmed that the work was in the Dicke Collection beginning in 2008 said that Jim Dicke loaned it to the Dayton Art Institute in June 2008, and that it remained on view until May 2010. In 2011, the museum hosted the exhibition “Creating the New Century: Contemporary Work from the Dicke Collection” and Helter Skelter I appears in a photo in the catalogue, and a contemporaneous story in the Dayton City Paper mentions seeing it installed in the Dayton Art Institute’s rotunda room. A curator at the Dayton Art Institute also confirmed that Helter Skelter I was for a time in the Dicke collection.

Jim Dicke held onto the work for about five years. In 2013, the art advisor Josh Baer was sniffing around for a Bradford and heard from another private dealer that Helter Skelter I was very quietly back on the market. Thrilled, Baer passed the word along to one of his biggest clients, the retired tennis champion and commentator John McEnroe, who was nearly as famous for his on-court tantrums as he was for his serve and volley.

McEnroe has been collecting art since the 1980s, and in 1994, the retired champ even went so far as to open his own gallery in Soho, having learned the ropes from friends such as Larry Gagosian. After making the gallery appointment-only, he continued to build his collection and became interested in purchasing a Bradford after getting a recommendation from Ann Philbin, who was then the director of the Drawing Center, and now runs the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.

Speaking with Baer in an interview published in the Phillips catalogue, McEnroe said, “When you said you can get me one, but it’s going to be the mother of all Bradfords, I was like OK. When we did go and see Helter Skelter I, I remember just thinking to myself, ‘Oh my God, here we go again.’”

It was a prolonged extraction process—McEnroe makes passing reference to “all the effort of getting Helter Skelter I �� in the interview—but he was finally able to purchase the massive work and transport it, rolled up, to his pied-à-terre in Soho, the entire second floor of 41 Greene Street. After a few years of living with it, in early 2017 he started planning to redecorate his loft, which would mean parting ways with the gigantic work.

The timing, a Phillips official said, was excellent. With the Venice Biennale coming up, Bradford was about to become a household name. And with the artist’s newfound fame, McEnroe thought that it could benefit from a public offering at auction.

“John has this history with very large scale works that he has to own for a limited period of time—he enjoys them, absorbs them and then moves on,” said Jean-Paul Engelen, deputy chairman, Americas, at Phillips. “And, the timing was good.”

Engelen said he began talking with McEnroe in the fall of 2017, and eventually came by the Soho pad to see it. Until then, he had only read about the work and seen photos of it. “I remember coming through the door in his loft and thinking, Oh my God, this is incredible,” Engelen said.

Consignment negotiations ensued, but stalled because there was no third-party guarantee—the irrevocable bid from someone outside of the auction house that reassures the seller she or he will receive a minimum guaranteed price. Eventually, the house was able to rope in someone to put up the money to match the minimum price.

When asked about the third-party guarantor, Engelen said that development was “very, very helpful” in convincing McEnroe to part with the work—and to do so specifically at Phillips, not at its higher-profile rivals, Christie’s and Sotheby’s—but also that the pedigree of the guarantor was much to everyone’s liking.

“The third party knew the painting, knew of the rep of the painting—he had seen it in the New Museum show and was very excited, and didn’t want to miss the opportunity,” Engelen said. “It made it easier that the third party did see the work initially.”

When asked on the phone why he advised McEnroe to go with Phillips, Baer said, “This is an opportunity for Phillips to demonstrate that they can sell this masterwork, and build their brand.”

“It’s an achievement to make a new auction record for an artist,” added Baer, who also runs the well-read art industry newsletter, The Baer Faxt. “They know what's at stake and I think they’ll get it done.”

Phillips declined to comment on the identity of the guarantor, beyond denying it was one collector whose name had been thrown around by several sources. But being guarantor does not necessarily mean going home with the prize pony. People all over the world seem to want to buy Mark Bradfords. Hauser & Wirth is set to open its first gallery in Asia during Art Basel in Hong Kong next month, and the first show will once again be a stack of new work by Mark Bradford.

Marc Payot, who is partner and vice president at Hauser & Wirth, admitted that Bradford’s high-profile auction appearances—coupled with the shows in Venice and at the Hirshhorn—do affect the way in which the gallery prices the work, but maintained that “the leading factors influencing price and demand are the quality and impact of the art itself.”

“Mark’s work is outstanding—it’s uniquely radical and resonant—and this has become clearer and clearer with his numerous institutional shows over the past couple years,” Payot added in an emailed statement.

Engelen acknowledged Bradford’s market has been fanned by the number of shows around the world, and believed there were plenty of potential bidders ready to outbid the guarantor.

“We’ve been approached by several people who want to come in and take a look at the painting,” he said.

And Bedford, as the director of a major city’s biggest art museum, was less concerned with the identity of the buyer than with the buyer’s intentions—that is, whether or not they would be willing to purchase the work and then gift it to an institution.

“There are certain works, in their scale and ambition and effect, that are pretty unique in their communicative capabilities across those thresholds,” he said. “I think Helter Skelter I is one of them—it would be a remarkable thing if that painting would be committed to a public collection as a promised gift.”

Here’s college football’s first TD of 2017. Who’ll score the last one?

The season’s first Division I touchdown sets up an interesting question.

FAMU SCORES THE FIRST TD OF THE SEASON http://pic.twitter.com/vl0rIAmS4e

That’s Florida A&M quarterback Ryan Stanley scrambling for an early score against Texas Southern. It’s the first touchdown in an NCAA-regulated football game since Clemson QB Deshaun Watson hit Hunter Renfrow for the game-winner in the National Championship against Alabama.

Readers can check out the latest information in a single post each day throughout the year. Here at HottyToddy.com, we are doing all the leg work to find the information that people want about Ole Miss sports.

Today’s stories come from Ole Miss Sports

Bortles And Rolison Earn SEC Honors

Colby Bortles. Steven Gagliano

Two Rebels earned SEC Baseball accolades when the league office released their all-conference lists Monday afternoon. Third baseman Colby Bortles was named second team All-SEC, while left-handed pitcher Ryan Rolison found a spot on the Freshman All-SEC team.

Bortles was a preseason second team All-SEC honoree, and the senior lived up to those expectations in his final season as a Rebel. Along with manning the hot corner, he leads the Rebels with 10 home runs and 42 RBI. A .270 hitter, Bortles also paces the team in multi-RBI games (12) over 54 starts. He’s hitting even better in SEC play with a .275 batting average. The Oviedo, Florida, native is the conference leader in sacrifice flies (7), which ranks 16th in the country. Playing in 212 games throughout his Ole Miss career, Bortles ranks 10th in program history with 153 RBI.

A highly-touted All-American out of high school, Rolison began the season in the bullpen before emerging as a key piece to the Ole Miss rotation. The Jackson, Tennessee, native is 6-3 on the 2017 campaign with a 3.06 ERA over 61.2 innings. Among qualified pitchers, the southpaw has allowed the fifth-fewest runs (23) in the SEC. Out of 18 appearances, Rolison has started nine games. His best outing of the year was against Missouri (April 22), tossing 6.0 scoreless innings and allowing only one hit. Adding a career-high nine strikeouts in the start against the Tigers, Rolison earned SEC Freshman of the Week honors.

Bortles, Rolison and the rest of the Rebels will begin SEC Tournament play tomorrow afternoon, facing No. 20 Auburn for the fourth consecutive game. The winner will earn a spot into the double elimination portion of the tournament. First pitch from the Hoover Met in Hoover, Alabama is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. CT on SEC Network.

Ole Miss junior Sean Rawlings has been named to the spring watch list for the 2017 Rimington Trophy, which honors the top center in Division I FBS college football.

Announced by the Rimington Trophy Committee on Monday, the watch list has 63 centers, including at least one from every FBS conference.

Rawlings, from Madison, Mississippi, has played in 21 games with 15 starts over the first two seasons of his Ole Miss career. He started seven games at right tackle and one at center a year ago and is a favorite to be the team’s full-time center entering his junior campaign. He was an SEC All-Freshman pick by Gridironnow.com in 2015 when he started seven games at right tackle and helped the Rebels return to the Sugar Bowl for the first time since 1970.

Other SEC centers Joining Rawlings on the Rimington watch list are Alabama’s Bradley Bozeman, Arkansas’ Frank Ragnow, Auburn’s Austin Golson, Florida’s T.J. McCoy, LSU’s Will Clapp, South Carolina’s Alan Knoff and Texas A&M’s Colton Prater.

While more than a dozen All-America teams are selected annually, the Rimington Trophy committee used these three prestigious teams to determine a winner:

Walter Camp Foundation Sporting News Football Writers Association of America Because the selectors of these three All-America teams can place centers in a “mix” of offensive linemen that includes guards and tackles, their 11-man first teams can often have two centers. The Rimington Trophy committee’s policy is to count all players that play primarily the center position for their respective teams as centers, even though they may be listed as guards or tackles on the All-America teams.

The center with the most first-team votes will be determined the winner. If there is a tie with first-team votes, then the center with the most second-team votes will win. If there is still a tie, the winner will be determined by a majority vote from the Rimington Trophy committee. The winner will be recognized at the Rimington Trophy Presentation at the Rococo Theatre in Lincoln, Nebraska, on Saturday, January 13, 2018.

About the Rimington Trophy

The Rimington Trophy is presented annually to the Most Outstanding Center in NCAA Division I FBS College Football. Since its inception, the Rimington Trophy has raised over $2.9 million for the cystic fibrosis community. The award is overseen by the Boomer Esiason Foundation, which is committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis and has raised over $130 million for the fight against cystic fibrosis. Dave Rimington, the award’s namesake, was a consensus first team All-American center at the University of Nebraska in 1981 and 1982, during which time he became the Outland Trophy’s only double winner as the nation’s finest college interior lineman.

New SEC Storied Documentary “The Rebel” to Premiere on SEC Network May 30

Courtesy of Ole Miss Athletics

The next installment in ESPN Films’ SEC Storied series, “The Rebel,” will premiere on Tuesday, May 30, at 9 p.m. ET on SEC Network. The film looks at former Ole Miss basketball sensation Johnny Neumann and the decisions he made that shaped his life and career forever.

Johnny Neumann took the Ole Miss nickname seriously. A 6’6″ prodigy from Memphis often compared to LSU superstar Pete Maravich, Neumann led the nation in scoring in 1971 as a sophomore in his only seaon in Oxford.

In the SEC Storied film “The Rebel,” director Paul Carruthers looks back on those days when Neumann electrified the Memphis basketball scene playing for Overton High before moving on to the University of Mississippi. The film also reveals a now older and wiser man who returned to Oxford in 2013 to begin working on the college degree he once spurned. In the years in between, Neumann bounced from team to team and country to country.

The film includes exclusive interviews from Paul Finebaum, Woody Paige, and Hubie Brown. Advance digital screeners are available upon request.
