OVERVIEW The “Let’s Go Back Tour & Concert Series” (Let’s Go Back) brings free concerts to richly grand, historic,

and nostalgic United States Local Communities. A premium concert series for residents to enjoy in their

own community Lets Go Back is the 70s, 80s, 90s, and Present Soul/Pop/R&B/Jazz/Latin/Funk/Disco/

Gospel/ Rap

This concert series is a much-needed, free public event that will encourage and motivate residents to enjoy their own community. The benefit of these premium concerts will be that they will create added notability, and an influx of new tourism into the County. This equates to new monies coming into local community, which will translate to increased retail revenue funneled into the communities. Why bring The Lets Go Back Tour & Concert Series to your Community? We seek out key, emerging locales that afford a significant backdrop for the ever-growing Communities and those that have no concert series for its residents. Usually other localities in the area have their own concerts—inconveniently causing residents from surrounding districts to have to travel some distances to enjoy these events. A high-end concert series would truly serve to highlight a community’s magnificence. This means that those communities could benefit from the annual influx of dollars brought into other said localities. The ―Let’s Go Back Tour & Concert Series‖ is just the vehicle needed to generate that much-desired traffic into those communities. The positive monetary effect to the community is also being noteworthy to mention.

CYE's mission is to foster programs that will take fill the idle time that many youth have during the academic break, and to offer those in the community a more progressive alternative, and encourage these youth to focus their energy on more positive and life fulfilling aspirations. These Programs will run for eight consecutive weeks or the during of the concert series. ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT: Fifty CYE placement opportunities with our annual Let’s Go Back Tour & Concert Series will be available to deserving youth. During the program, youth mentorship and training for the positions will take place.
