Its that time of year when the Metro East Pride Organization begins to plan the festival for June, and this year includes the apparent migration from a fan page back to a page intended for individuals. Nonetheless those who are interested in the festival are being asked to send a friend request to the new profile page. Of course you can get information about the upcoming events, fundraising efforts and vendor information there.
Currently the MEPSI website is not working and there is no word on its relaunch as of yet. Here is the statement made by the MEPSI fanpage today.

2013 Metro East Pride Entertainment SUMMER OSBORNE: 8:30 - 10:00 p.m.

SUMMER OSBORNE: 8:30 - 10:00 p.m.

Summer has been on stage since age four, but has been performing her original tunes for fans since 2005. During that time, lyrics and melodies have been continuously flowing through her, resulting in five full albums and an EP. Songs From A Rolling Black Chair, Summer’s debut album, deals with the drama of coming out. Her sophomore release, Don’t Call Me Mrs. Osborne, is a “vanilla” production for the small farm community from whence she came. It’s About Damn Time, Summer’s third CD, features a transcendence of genres as she further honed her craft. Her fourth CD, Winter Driven Summer, describes her walk through the depths of her mother’s illness and eventual death. Summer’s latest full album, Revelation, is upbeat and infused with love. This summer, she released an EP, With Love…
Since deciding to focus on her musical career (performing and writing) full time in 2009, Summer has been constantly on tour, doing shows at venues and festivals. She has played music at Pridefests all over the Mid-West US & Canada: Pridefest St. Louis (2005-2011); Vancouver Pride – British Columbia, Canada (2011); Mid-MO Pride – Columbia, MO (2011); Halifax Pride - Nova Scotia, Canada (2010); Mid-South Pride - Memphis, TN (2005 & 2010); Springfield Pride - Springfield, MO (2009); Kentuckiana Pride - Lexington, KY (2009); Metro East Pride - Belleville, IL (2008 and 2011). Summer has shared the stage with The Indigo Girls, God-Des and She, Tiffany, Jen Foster, Sugarbeach, The Cliks, Crystal Waters, Betty, Martha Wash, RJ Helton, Jennifer Holliday, Kimberley Locke, Tret Fure, and Shannon Curtis.
Whether her audience is small and intimate or large and out of control, whether she is solo with her guitar and piano or backed by the band, as long as she has a microphone to carry her words, she always delivers. If you have a chance to see her live - it will prove to be a gift to be remembered. Her Mission for 2011 is Operation Infect the Nation ((with love)).
Description
Imagine if Adele, Carole King, and Joss Stone had a love child… it would be Summer Osborne. Music is often described by genre, but Summer cannot be put into a category. She is a symphonic smorgasbord. Her music can loosely be described as folk soul, acoustic rock, and piano pop… but you will hear glimpses of jazz, blues, and comedy. She writes and sings real music about real life and every show is an emotional experience! It is the evolution of the soul – one song at a time.
