The Diamonds

A wonderful evening of 1950’s music comes alive again with such songs as Little Darlin’, Zip Zip, Kathy-O, Love Love Love, Silhouettes, Why Do Fools Fall In Love, and Ka-Ding Dong.

The Diamonds perform not only their hits from the 50’ and 60’s but also pay tribute to the classic four-part vocal groups of the era— The Four Lads, The Four Aces, The Four Freshmen, The Four Preps, The Brothers Four and The Four Seasons.  They also honor some of the greatest solo artists in Rock ‘n Roll history—Bobby Darin, Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley.  Classic doowop songs at their best, featuring fabulous vocal harmonies accented by their talents as instrumentalists on saxophone, trumpet, and trombone.

Michael Kaeshammer

Michael Kaeshammer is one of the most exciting young, jazz pianists in the country today. He has released a series of award winning, critically acclaimed recordings and has developed a large, international following through his dynamic live performances.

 With each recording and performance, pianist Michael Kaeshammer digs deeper into the jazz tradition while carving out his own unique musical vision.

He might “Jellyroll” into rumba, or “parade” into post-bop funk… or cook up a fiery, rhythmic gumbo to breathtaking keyboard pyrotechnics.

Edgar Cruz

Acoustic guitar luminary Edgar Cruz has the rare, show stopping ability to sound like an entire orchestra on only one instrument.

Those who have witnessed Cruz’s performance immediately become entranced at the precision, speed and complexity with which his fingers strike the strings of his guitar to create a symphony of sound unusual to just one instrument. Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, The William Tell Overture, Malagueña, In the Mood and MacArthur Park are just a few examples.

The Prairie Brass Band with David Morris, World Champion Whistler

David Morris

The sound of a full award winning brass band is entertainment enough, but add the sounds of World Champion Whistler David Morris, and you have an evening that you will never forget.

The Prairie Brass Band uses traditional British brass band instrumentation: cornets instead of trumpets, tenor horns instead of French horns, both euphoniums and baritones, and E-flat and B-flat tubas, as well as percussion. Players are attracted to the band simply because the music is challenging, widely varied, and fun to play.
