As a youth minister in the 1960s and '70s, Cameron was an innovator in organizing inexpensive concerts showcasing contemporary Christian musicians - a music genre that was just getting started at the time. ``We were doing things that were kind of on-the-edge because of our constituency, the kids,'' Cameron said. ``Rather than telling them not to listen to the popular, hard rock groups of that time, we decided to offer them an alternative.'' Cameron recently decided to get the concerts going again and joined with Heart of the Canyons Church in Canyon Country to form Heart Productions. He hopes to make it a community effort by getting other churches and local businesses involved, and envisions having both Christian concerts and live theater productions. Heart Productions' first concert features Christian singer Annie Herring at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Santa Clarita Santa Clarita, city (1990 pop. 110,642), Los Angeles co., S Calif., suburb 30 mi (48 km) NW of downtown Los Angeles, on the Santa Clara River; inc. 1987.

She originally performed with the trio 2nd Chapter of Acts, but is now mainly a solo artist, Cameron said. She will be performing songs from her latest CD, ``Wonder,'' along with past favorites and some classic gospel tunes. ``Annie does large concerts, but she prefers smaller, more intimate venues, and she always insists on low ticket fees,'' Cameron said. Cameron hopes to keep ticket costs low for all future Heart Production concerts but said prices depend on how much support the new venture gets from the community. ``Heart of the Canyons is sponsoring this concert, but we will need future contributors for other productions,'' he said. ``We will seek to raise money through sponsorships from Christian businesspeople or anyone in the community who wants to see quality family entertainment.'' Future plans include use of the newly restored Hart High School Hart High School may refer to:
