The Academy of Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklahoma  will kick off the 2011 spring semester on January 28 with a free, release week concert with Wanda Jackson celebrating her new album, The Party Ain't Over.

Since it's creation, The Academy of Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklahoma (ACM@UCO) has generated worldwide buzz with its innovative, groundbreaking approach to music education - the first of its kind in the United States. The school, which grants a two-year associate's degree in music performance and production, is the U.S. branch of Britain's groundbreaking Academy of Contemporary Music, based in Guildford, England.

2010 was a great year for ACM@UCO as the school hosted master classes and exclusive mentoring sessions with top artists such as Jackson Browne, the The Mountain Goats and Local Natives. Many of the artists also performed at the school's new music venue, The Performance Lab, which gives students hands-on experience in the world of music booking, promotion and production.

Queen of Rockbilly Wanda Jackson will perform at the Performance Lab on January 28. Her new Jack White-produced album, The Party Ain't Over is out on January 25.
