New Season Opener - underwritten by Becky Merwin
Wayne Issleb as President Ulysses S. Grant
Friday, October 29, 2021
Wayne Issleb portraying Grant, takes you on a journey from his young years to the very end, back to the cottage where he had just days to live. Grant narrates his most important moments in life, which eventually brought him to the presidency.

Dressed in a blue frock coat and epaulets with three stars on the shoulders, a black slouch hat and carrying a cigar, Issleb looks like the general who led Union troops to victory and became America’s 18th president.

You'll love the classic hits from the 1930’s and 40’s, as well as fresh renditions of modern hits.

Just when you think you know where the band is going, they’ll throw you a very entertaining curveball. Come join us for a swingin’ night of jazz!

Barron Ryan: "Classic Meets Cool"
Saturday, February 5, 2022
Barron Ryan's love for music has always been divided.

The son of two musicians, he grew up in a house filled with the sounds of artists ranging from Chopin to James Brown. So when it comes to his own performing, he’s not content drawing on just one influence. He combines them all into a musical adventure that’s vintage yet fresh, historical yet hip, classic yet cool.

Bobby Horton: "Songs and Stories of the Civil War"
Friday, March 4, 2022
Bobby will transport you back in time to the most turbulent era in our nation’s history. Dressed as a 19th Century performer, using period musical instruments, Bobby explores the stories of both the North and South through the music they loved.

Each song is placed in context with historical background and portrays the struggles, hopes, and fears of Americans during this long and bloody conflict.
