Mike Schikora

Front Range Records recording artist Mike Schikora is back with a new single, “What’s Old Is New Again.” This is the perfect summer wedding song to follow-up his debut single, “Dance Angelina,” which captured his gritty classic country style. Anticipation for the new single has music reviewers already showing their support. The Follow-up Single for Colorado Cowboy Mike Schikora - the perfect wedding song for 2009 “As soon as I heard Mike’s CD…we had to add it to our playlist…Our listeners and everyone here at TMTR loves his music!” - Gary Barton / TMTR Internet Radio “Mike is one of those gifted artists that hits a high mark with his authentic Texas country music. Close your eyes and you’re around the campfire on a starry night.” - Ed Spacek / TX radio promoter “…this country music up-and-comer is driven to find success on his own terms.” - Joanna Nasar / Contributing Writer to American Cowboy “I’m blown away by Mike Schikora, what a good singer, and a fine songwriter.” - Ken Murray / Program Director / KTEX Brenham , TX . “What’s Old Is New Again,” highlights a love that grows stronger with time while examining a couple’s promise, commitment, encouragement and devotion. This song is the title track from Schikora’s critically-acclaimed debut CD currently available on CD Baby, iTunes and Rhapsody. “I wrote this song as a gift for my friend’s wedding. I let this cook for months since I could not think of what I wanted to write. Then, I literally wrote the song two days before the wedding,” says Schikora. Schikora is the real deal – a dying breed of ranchers/cowboys and a rustic Rocky Mountain horseman. A day well spent includes working in the pasture, training new born foals, riding, and mending fences. Mike has rode his horse twice over the Continental Divide, started a Half Arabian Sport horse breeding business and continues to write songs for his publishing company, Tuck And Go Music. He has been featured in several media outlets including American Cowboy, The Nashville Musician, OutFront Colorado , Kootenai Valley Record, New Music Weekly, Lexington Broadcasting, among others. He is currently in the studio working on his sophomore release, which will be available this fall. To stay updated on everything he is doing or to hear his single, visit MySpace,   and  on Facebook ******************************* For more information, to request a press kit, CD, mp3 of the single or to set up an interview with Mike Schikora, please contact Nicole [...]

Alberto Zoppé’s induction to Sarasota’s Circus Ring of Fame

I’m happy to report that the patriarch of the Alberto Zoppes Family, Alberto Zoppé, will be inducted in Sarasota’s Circus Ring of Fame at St. Armands Circle Park on January 21, 2007. Although I’m highly biased, I believe the honor is well deserved county fair. Alberto, born in 1922, was raised in Italy with his family’s “Circo Zoppé.” Like most circus kids, he was schooled in all the circus arts. However, the skill at which he excelled and loved the most was bareback horse riding. Eventually, Alberto developed a large riding act that included many unique features such as a double back-somersault from one horse to another. Alberto Zoppes induction to Sarasota’s Circus Ring of Fame In 1940, Alberto took over the management of Circo Zoppé and later in the decade worked with other family members to design the first 4-pole cupola-style tent. Alberto, along with his sister and adopted cousin Cucciolo, immigrated from Italy in 1948 to be the featured bareback riding act on John Ringling North’s “Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.” While there, Alberto and Cucciolo appeared by name in Cecil B. DeMille’s movie “The Greatest Show On Earth.” After leaving Ringling, Alberto and his riding act were featured at one time or another by virtually every major American circus, although from the late 1950s on, a serious injury curtailed the more athletic portions of the act. During the 1970s, Alberto Zoppes operated “Circus Italia,” which played small venues such as shopping centers. In the 1980s and 1990s, Alberto turned his focus to the Shrine Circus market and operated under the name “Zoppé Circus Europa.” Also during this period, Alberto produced “Circo Zoppé Europa,” a stage show that featured the circus arts, including those with animals. In recent years, Alberto has been touring with “Zoppé. An Italian Alberto Zoppes Family Circus,” a show run by a new generation of Zoppé family members. Alberto was twice married, first to Jenny Wallenda and currently to Sandra Taylor, and the resulting sons and daughters are among today’s brightest circus stars. Please join us on January 21 in Sarasota for Alberto’s induction. For more detailed information about the ceremony, please call me at 773-255-6788. Giovanni Zoppé
