Oct. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- The Artists Music Guild is gearing up for this year’s 2014 AMG Heritage Awards. Last year’s show was hosted by music icon, Chubby Checker. Checker is quoted as saying, "The Guild made a real difference in the lives of young artists and it's because of that commitment that the Guild will be a force to be reckoned with. I am so thrilled to be a part of it!"

This year country music star, Billy Gilman will share the hosting responsibilities with cultural icon, Lamb Chop who of course is the brain child of Shari Lewis. Lewis passed away in 1998 but her daughter Mallory who received an Emmy Award for writing on her mother's show has stepped up to carry on the legacy that is known as Lamb Chop. Gilman said that he was so thrilled to be working with his co-host and is looking forward to a fantastic evening.

Producing the show this year are two companies that are no strangers to live production. IHN Productions based in Midlothain, TX is famous for their work on the Soul Train Awards. It's president, Chris Nowels is also the vice-president of the Guild. Helping will be The Broadcast Group, headed by television pioneer, Dale Hill who single handedly helped to build the entire television studios and produced all of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's PTL shows during their days on television. Hill has helped to launch the television careers of many recording stars due to his extraordinary ability to capture talent to tape.

This year there will be several arts icons to take to the stage. Disco legend, Gloria Gaynor will be performing along with others such as, Dee Dee Sharp, Terri Gibbs, David Meece, Chubby Checker, Rev. Shirley Caesar, Christy Sutherland, David L Cook as well as YouTube stars, Sam and Nia Rader and America's Got Talent finalist, Dennis Reed and Inspire the Fire.

It should be noted that seven time Emmy Award winner, David L Cook formerly of the Cook Family Singers is also the executive president of the Guild and along with Nowels the two have built the brand to help artists escape predatory practices found inside of the industry. Cook has stated that, "There are a lot of organizations out there who will like an artist as long as their checks clear. Unfortunately, they know better than anyone that these artists want to be stars and will fall for anyone selling the right kind of snake oil. Sad part is that they won’t know they have been taken until they have thrown thousands down the drain!"

The Guild is far more than a protection agency. It is also an educational port that sends artists into the public school systems to help under privileged kids have some form of arts programming. Most of the time artists like Cook or Chubby Checker will go into the schools on behalf of the Guild and spend a day or two teaching inside of the classrooms. This helps the teachers to build content and an excitement towards the arts. The arts programs have been cut so hard that many teachers have to purchase programming and materials out of their own pockets. Hard to do when you are already one of the lowest paid professions in the country.

The program will be aired by Sky Angel into approximately 17 million homes. In addition to cable network this year an agreement has been reached to stream the event into 16 different countries via the computer.

The 2014 AMG Heritage Awards will take place at the AG Convention Center in Monroe, NC on November 15th. The red carpet starts at 5:00 pm., pre-show at 6:00 pm., and the cameras will start rolling promptly at 7:00 pm. There will be an after party sponsored by Publix Supermarkets, Hathaways Chicken and Givemeacupcake.

The Guild celebrates its 4th year in business by becoming one of the fastest growing arts organization in the country. It's primary goal is to raise the standards in the industry through education and mentoring. The Guild is a non-profit organization.
