Big & Rich

Big & Rich have proved that nobody rocks the room like they do. Since their triple-Platinum debut album ‘Horse of a Different Color,’ Big Kenny and John Rich have kept the faith, ramped up their groove, taken the occasional break for solo projects and come back with both guitars blazing. In 2017, their run as the ultimate good-time country music duo continued with the album ‘Did It For The Party‘— a title that pretty much told their story, and as always, everyone is invited. They’ve scored hits like “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy),” “Holy Water,” “8th of November” and “Lost in This Moment.”

THE HighwayMen live

A musical tribute to the greatest country supergroup of all time, Nelson, Jennings & Cash, you would swear the original stars were in the room.  Michael Moore plays Willie Nelson and his music with mystifying accuracy. The same is true of Phillip Bauer whose performance of Johnny Cash is near perfect. No less stunning is August Manley’s performance of Waylon Jennings. This is a show you won’t want to miss!
