Matt Hill

2011 BMA Nominee and one of the most talked about and electric performers on the circuit today, Matt Hill is completely uninhibited as he drives audiences wild with his "whatever it takes" boundless stage antics. Harkening back to the heydays of Howlin' Wolf, Jerry Lee Lewis and Nappy Brown. Matt explains, "I've been obsessed with Jerry Lee since I was a kid". Matt's stage presence and over-the-top magnetic energy will leave you with a night you won't soon forget.

"This young man brings the primal nature of blues, rockabilly, and rock'n'roll back to the forefront."

Sheryl & Don Crow - Nashville Blues Society

"This Greensboro [NC] based blues artist is not only a fierce performer but also is one of the hottest, most talked about and most overwhelming stage personalities there is, any-damn-where."

Mike 'The Nighthawk' FLoyd - Borderline

"Hill is a brash [mother] who goes the limit...On the Floor is blues indeed, but sweaty and reeking of animal lusts, thank God."

Mark S. Tucker - FAME

Funky Butt Brass Band

Funky Butt Brass Band is known for its wide array of New Orleans inspired music that spans traditional jazz to funk with a little Saint Louie blues thrown in. As the Riverfront Times puts it, "Its razor-sharp horn section blasts out the sort of punchy ..... dance to Tower of Power, while its unhinged rhythm section recalls the greasy funk that drips from fingers and collects in the gutters of New Orleans. But stellar musicianship and dedication to the craft aren't the band's only strengths — more important, the act showcases the playful side missing from many uptight jazz enthusiasts." Add in a little Motown and Southern Rock and it’s always a rousing party!

As folks say "THIS IS ONE BRASS-KICKIN' BAND"!

Steve Davis'

"Memories of Elvis"

Steve Davis is back once more with another electrifying performance as "The King". Last year's 'Standing Room Only' show brought everyone to their feet as "Memories of Elvis" spanned the life of a rock legend. This highly detailed show will leave you believing you've actually seen 'The King' himself.

As Steve says it, "There’s a difference between a performance and an experience, between an impersonation and a re-creation, and between a moment and a memory. Anyone that has seen Elvis in concert before will tell you it wasn't a performance – it was an experience." Memories of Elvis is about the details and about creating an experience. It’s an electrifying two-hour concert experience featuring powerful rhythm sections complimented with harmony, vocalists, and horns. Memories of Elvis journeys through Elvis’ music from the early Sun Recordings through the latter Las Vegas Showroom appearances. Don't miss it, you will definitely be taking this one with you!

We're holding Steve over for TWO BIG PERFORMANCES! So don't miss out! Last year's performance was sold out!
