Larry, Steve, and Rudy, The Gatlin Brothers, have dazzled audiences for more than sixty-nine years, performing in venues all over the world from the Grand Ol’ Opry to Carnegie Hall.

Iam Tongi had audiences tearing up from the moment he started singing “Monster” by James Blunt, a moving tribute to his father that became a viral sensation along his journey to winning Season 21 of American Idol. The quiet yet powerful maturity in his voice, his beautiful rasp, and a light island influence permeates every note in every song he sings, invariably taking listeners on an emotional journey.
7 Bridges: The Ultimate EAGLES Experience is a stunningly accurate tribute to the music of the Eagles, faithfully recreating the experience of an Eagles concert from the band’s most prolific period. Rolling Stone called 7 Bridges “The Best Eagles tribute band on Earth!”
Brothers Malcom and Umoja learned to play violin through South Florida’s public school system, attended a performing arts high school, and now perform as Sons of Mystro. Accompanied by a DJ and a drummer, they use their violins to interpret reggae classics, American pop songs, and their own creations. This performance is funded in part by a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Kentucky Arts Council. Additional support is provided by the Juanita Badgett Performing Arts Endowment.
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils have been aptly described as “a ragtag collection of hippies, bohemians, and musicians of no fixed ambition.” They have always been indefinable in terms of music genres, producing sounds of country-rock and electric bluegrass all on the same record, writing lyrics both whimsical and poetic, and singing spine-tingling harmonies.
