groups. The “Jammin’ Daddies” is an acoustic rock and roll band that plays the “songs that we all know”
with a flair toward everybody having a good time.
6/26 – “The Midway Ramblers Cajun Band” for an irresistible taste of Southwest Louisiana music, from the
traditions of Cajun and Creole to high energy Zydeco with a little Swamp Pop thrown in for spice! The Midway Ramblers
is a lively and spirited group that knows how to entertain audiences of all kinds and ages.
7/3 - ”The White Saddle Band” constantly strives to remain at the top of the contemporary music scene, playing
songs by such artists as Brooks and Dunn, Garth Brooks, Steve Earle, The Mavericks, John Hiatt, Van Morrison and
others, while always remembering country music's roots by paying homage to the artists and writers who gave, and
continue to give the world the music we call "Country."
7/10 – “215 West” has traveled the globe performing a variety of classic hits. It's not unusual to hear
the group jump from Motown, to current Top 40, 50's Rock, Latin dance, 40's Swing, 70's Disco, and ending up with
a Classic Rock, or Chicago Style Blues tune.
7/24 – “Jazz Spectrum Vocal Quartet” An energetic vocal jazz quartet backed by 4 swinging musicians. From
lush ballads to swinging renditions of big band music...from good-time 50's rock and roll and doo wop to lightning
fast original vocalese lyrics, the “Jazz Spectrum Vocal Quartet”, lays down a dazzling performance of rich
harmonies and tight ensemble work.
7/31 – ”The Tuff Enuff Band” Singing the blues and keepin’ it cool, ”The Tuff Enuff Band” brings
the sound of class rock and the blues to life. This local band reflects a time when songs were written from the
heart with a little bit of soul.
8/7 – “The Ragtops” Remember the birth of Rock 'n Roll way back in 1955? Take a trip back in time to a more
innocent yesteryear, when sock-hops, poodle skirts, malt shops, and drive-in movies were the rage. “The Ragtops”
play the great music of the 50's and 60's just the way you remember it!
8/14 – "Class of 68" is a 1960’s rock and roll band that captures the energy and enthusiasm of
what many would consider the “golden age” of top 40’s greatest hits. Feel good music for everyone just the way
you remember it?
8/21 – “Surf’s Up” Outdoor movie on a 45’ big screen. During this adventure you will follow a teenage rock
hopper penguin named Cody Maverick from his hometown of Shiverpool, Antarctica, where all of the other penguins
think he's nothing but a surfing fool, to the "Big Z Memorial Surf Off" on Pen Gu Island. Cody quickly
learns some important lessons about life and surfing. Showtime Around dusk about 8:00-ish |
