Singing from the time he could talk and playing
the guitar since the age of five, John Oates was
destined to be a musician. He was born in NYC, moved with his family
to Doylestown and attended Temple University. When John first met
Daryl Hall, it was their mutual love for urban rhythm n' blues blended
with the more rural roots of American music that helped create their
unique sound. They recorded 21 albums which have sold over 80 million
units making them the most successful duo in rock history. Despite
30 years as a chart-topping performer and sought after producer,
John did not release a solo album until 2002's Phunk Shui.
His second solo album, 1000 Miles of Life, will be released
this fall and was recorded in Nashville and features an amazing
collection of some of the world's top musicians.
Wishbone Ash is the pioneering
British twin-lead guitar band that features founding guitarist Andy
Powell, whose name is often associated with the Gibson Flying V.
The lineup also includes Finnish guitar slinger Muddy Manninen plus
longtime rhythm section of bassist Bob Skeat & drummer Joe Crabtree.
Formed in London 1969, Wishbone Ash garnered notice in the early
days for a unique blend of blues, jazz and English folk. But it
was the way the guitars played melodic leads together that would
become Wishbone Ash's trademark. Expect to hear familiar favorites
and material from their new album Clan Destiny.

Bruce In The USA is much more than just another
tribute! This high-energy musical experience is a note-perfect and
visually accurate recreation of a Bruce Springsteen & The E.
Street Band concert. Matt Ryan - from the World Famous "Legends
In Concert" cast - played the Springsteen character for eight
years in their "full scale" Las Vegas show; his amazing
portrayal of The Boss (not to mention his jaw-dropping resemblance)
is as close as you can get to see the real thing. Clarence himself
joined the band on stage in NYC, claiming it was the greatest tribute
he's ever seen… Can't argue with "The Big Man"!
Electrifying & exhilarating blues-rocker Ronnie
Baker Brooks returns to Sellersville since his sold-out

father, living legend Lonnie Brooks… and continues to expand
on the musical legacy with a new & exciting flair of his own!

hybrid with load of soul. Here is a new, exceptional blues star
who is ready, willing and able to carry the torch into the next
century." - Andy Grigg, Real Blues Magazine

Alasdair Fraser is a consummate
performer with his dynamic fiddling, engaging stage presence and
deep understanding of Scotland's music. His richly expressive playing
transports listeners across a broad musical spectrum, ranging from
haunting laments from the Gaelic tradition to classically-styled
airs, raucous dance tunes, and improvisations based on traditional
themes. Alasdair's film credits include solo performances on the
soundtracks of several major films, including The Last of the Mohicans
and Titanic.
Natalie Haas, a graduate of the
Juilliard School of Music, wasn't even born when Alasdair was winning
national fiddle competitions on the other side of the Atlantic.
But this seemingly unlikely pairing is the fulfillment of a long-standing
musical dream for Fraser, whose cutting-edge musical explorations
took him full circle to find a cellist who could help him return
the cello to its historical role at the rhythmic heart of Scottish
dance music. Natalie is in the vanguard of young cellists who are
redefining the role of the cello in traditional music.
"Cellists are coming out of the woodwork to
study with Natalie, to learn how she creates a groove and a whole
chunky rhythm section," says Fraser. "It's inspiring to
hear the cello unleashed from its orchestral shackles!"
