Music fans know there's usually a time at each concert where they can take a song or two off: Go to the bathroom, get a snack, grab a cold one, check email.

It's been a minute since Artpark & Company slotted a straight-up Christian music-making solo artist into its list of concert headliners. In the summer of 2007, Rebecca St. James performed inside the Mainstage Theater to a crowd of about 1,000 people. In this, Artpark's 50th anniversary season, the Lewiston visual, cultural, educational and performing arts company welcomes the genre back - and has not only moved the venue - to the outside amphitheater - but has booked perhaps the biggest name in all of Christian music: Lauren Daigle.

Sometimes a number is so large that it becomes ethereal or incomprehensible. So, to understand how many copies of Pink Floyd's March 1973 release, "The Dark Side of the Moon," have sold to date, consider this: If every man, woman and child in the state of New York bought two copies, it still wouldn't equal the musical masterpiece's sales.

The artists interviewed here - my Entertainers of the Year - are responsible for the songs in our heads, the faces on our 55-inch, high-def frames, and the dinner we're about to eat. They are worthy of this recognition - and my thanks for taking time out to chat and say "Hello" to the NFP audience.

The network teamed with Lighthouse Pictures for a tongue-in-cheek, movie-in-a-movie appropriately titled, "Lights, Camera, Christmas!" One of the best Hallmark offerings you'll find this year, the film humorously and lovingly pokes fun at - and celebrates - the magic that comes from making (and watching) a "Countdown to Christmas" feature.

The Sierota siblings spent their pandemic pause much like the rest of us - taking a deep-dive into their lives and wondering what could be improved. The members of Echosmith found they're more alt-pop leaning and, more importantly, their music should be a means to unite people in positivity.

When CBS debuted "CSI: Vegas" last season, part of the appeal was that the show was bringing back original "CSI" stars William Petersen (Gil Grissom) and Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle). While that caught the attention of both hardcore fans and casual channel-flippers, it was the new cast members who made the iconic franchise feel fresh and fun.

An estimated 40,000 people will attend Kingdom Bound at Darien Lake over the next week. In between campouts, games and inspirational events, the mostly teenage crowd will be stirred up by some of the top names in Christian music.

Two consecutive summers where large gatherings were frowned upon, if not prohibited, made it impossible for Kingdom Bound Ministries to hold its annual four-day festival at Darien Lake.
