Guy Penrod 
Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 7:30 PM
$25 Adults * $21 Seniors * $10 Children & College Students/Staff
Guy Penrod is no stranger to country music. During the early '90s, he was an in-demand session singer in Nashville working in the studio with the biggest names in both country and gospel music. TNN's "Music City Tonight" subsequently introduced Guy to wider national audiences as part of the vocal quartet that appeared nightly on the live, 90-minute telecast. His well-publicized departure in recent months after 14 years as a centerpiece of Bill Gaither's celebrated "Vocal Band" was not a move for the faint of heart. His first solo country album project, Breathe Deep, is the creative thumbprint of a man with strong values and a positive world view that harkens back to deep roots in faith and family. http://www.guypenrod.com/

Back by popular demand! Starting out in the Bronx as a family tribute band, The Bronx Wanderers exploded onto the scene in 2008, amassing a loyal following that included celebrities such as Chazz Palminteri, Danny Aiello and Dion DiMucci. On an avenue in the Bronx back in the '50s and early '60s, one could hear the liberating sound of doo-wop and rock and roll. The music had heart, soul, purity, and a sound that made you want to dance, harmonies that made you feel good, and lyrics that once in a while even made you cry. Watch them sing songs by Dion, The Jersey Boys (The Four Seasons) and more at http://www.thebronxwanderers.com/.
"Spend an evening with The Bronx Wanderers. I guarantee you're gonna have a ball." -- Danny Aiello

"The Piano Men" is a musical celebration of the 1970's - year by year, hit by hit - from the songs of Billy Joel and Elton John. Dove Award nominee and Canadian Juno Award nominee, recording artist Jim Witter at the grand piano and his sizzling musicians on keyboards, guitar, bass, flute, sax and drums, lead an expertly crafted tour of an entire decade that begins with "Your Song" and winds us along on a musical time machine, saluting two of the century's most popular contemporary songwriters. Utilizing screen projection, we return to the newspaper headlines, the automobiles, the people, the events, the toys and even the TV shows that shaped a decade. Along the way, the sounds of "My Life", "Candle in the Wind", "Rocket Man", "Just the Way You Are", and many more classic hits create an evening that's just too much fun to let it end. http://www.thepianomen.net/

Allan Harris is a world-class singer, guitarist and songwriter.

Three-time winner of the New York Nightlife Award for "Outstanding Jazz Vocalist", Tony Bennett calls Mr. Harris "my favorite singer". He is regularly featured at the world's great music festivals, e.g. Jazz Aspen, Wien Jazz Festival in Austria and the Umbria Jazz Festival in Italy. Allan's Harris's artistry transcends his diverse vocal performances. Harris has composed "Cross That River", a full-scale musical celebrating the Old West as told through the words and music of a black cowboy, and has received a prestigious Chamber Music America Grant for that work.
"A supremely relaxed and tasteful crooner in the Nat King Cole tradition." - The New York Times

Buffalo Rome 
Blending a rootsy feel reminiscent of the 1970's west coast country rock scene with today's modern country, Buffalo Rome brings a vinyl vibe to the digital age. Their stunning harmonies and expert musicianship have wowed audiences across the country. Their appeal is broad; they have appeared with such diverse performers as Kenny Loggins and Montgomery Gentry. Though they have been together only a short time, they have already been seen on Great American Country and featured in the pages of Country Weekly Magazine. With songs like "Big Sky" and "Ocean In Montana", they are truly putting the "West" back in Country-Western music.
Followed by Larry Gatlin
 There have been many great voices in country music and one golden one: Larry Gatlin. His bell-like tones and soul-stirring vibrato are works of art in themselves, quite apart from the lyrics they illuminate. Of course, Gatlin is equally distinguished as a songwriter. Of the 42 songs he charted between 1973 and 1990, including 17 Top 10s and the Grammy-winning "Broken Lady," he single-handedly wrote every one, an achievement unmatched by any other artist in popular music. His smash "All The Gold In California" stands as a country crossover classic.
