BeatleMania The original Tony Award winning Beatlemania was a Broadway musical which began its run in June 16th, 1977. This version of Beatlemania has been on the road for 14 years with John Preston (Ringo) the leader of the band. Robert (Paul) really does play left handed bass which truly adds to the magic of the show. Jimmy (George) and Ron (John) add their distinctive and natural ability to bring the group together. The show goes from from Meet the Beatles all the way through the Abbey Road days, with three costume changes. They will perform over 35 Beatle hits during the show and we are sure you will stand and cheer for an encore.
Dan McGinnis To call Dan McGuinness a singer is an understatement. Dan’s voice harkens a listener’s memory back to a time when Blue Eyed Soul ruled the radio. Full and powerful, Dan’s voice can go from edgy and rough to soft and delicate in an instant. His incredible range and perfect pitch are complimented by his expert technique and his soft touch. Dan is no longer Chicago’s best kept secret touring the country with his band Blue Moon Swamp and sometime sitting in with CCR.

For Dan McGuinness, His interpretation and delivery of the songs are right on the mark and he consistently wows audiences with his performance. Whatever the song, old or new, Dan McGuinness’ voice takes you by the hand and leads you to the core of the John Fogerty/CCR musical journey.

Gwen Hughes With her bands' undeniable talent (The Rustic Jazz and Retro Jazz Kats), 4 CDs to her credit, and voted Atlanta’s favorite jazz/swing singer three times in the past 4 years, Hughes prods and provokes in every performance. On stage, the petite, shimmering chanteuse with the long mane of red curls seems to personify feminine. Then she opens her mouth. She returns this year to the festival on opening night at Steffen Thomas Museum. She performed on the main stage in 2005.

And a girl who won’t stick to the melody isn’t going to last long at the front of a pop band either. The self-monikered “love child of Muddy Waters and Peggy Lee” is, in the end, best described as a fusion artist – a fusion of blues, rock and jazz..."what we cryptically call 'rustic jazz," says the singer.
