                                            &lt;p&gt;On Sunday, November 23rd&amp;nbsp;from 7pm-9pm, The Journey will host a concert with Orange County&amp;nbsp;Christian band Lovelite. Lovelite has just finished their second CD, and it will be on sale after the concert. This is a free concert and is designed with youth and young adults in mind. In addition to the concert, Pastor David Wells will be sharing a Bible message from the book of Romans. For more information, please call Stephen at (661)&amp;nbsp;397-6000 or e-mail him at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:squeek@westbrook.org&quot;&gt;squeek@westbrook.org&lt;/a&gt;. You can also check out our websites: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thejourneyccw.com&quot;&gt;www.thejourneyccw.com&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/thejourneyccw&quot;&gt;www.myspace.com/thejourneyccw&lt;/a&gt;. On these sites, you can look at pictures, see upcoming concerts, and even listen to music by the artists. If you can&#039;t make it for this concert, we meet every Sunday night at 7pm and have a house band, The Journey Band, who leads worship every week. We hope that you will join us this Sunday night to see Lovelite live in concert.&lt;/p&gt;

                                            &lt;p&gt;Cowboy Carusos Croon for Community Concert..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Tumbling Tumbleweeds&amp;quot; Tumble into Rabobank Theater&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Give Thanks for Cody Bryant and the Riders of the Purple Sage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Presented by the Bakersfield Community Concert Association.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Unforgettable melodies, tight harmonies, red-hot musicianship, and a fast paced show are trademarks of Cody Bryant and the Riders of the Purple Sage. They&amp;rsquo;ve redefined classic western movie music for a whole new generation of music fans.&lt;br /&gt;
Under the leadership of Foy Willing in the 40s and Cody Bryant today, they still go their own musical way with a sound that is uniquely their own. With deep roots in many American folk styles, they blend elements of the classic sound of Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers with Bluegrass, Cajun, and Bob Wills-style western swing into their own unique musical vision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They&amp;rsquo;ve redefined classic western music.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pre-concert music will be provided by the Frontier High School choir under the direction of Forrest Madewell. The choir accompanist is Beverly Richards.&lt;/p&gt;
