LAST YEAR IT WAS Dueling Pianos!

They were back by popular demand and kicked-off last year's Festival with a Piano-Party located under the Big Tent at the Townhall. Dueling Pianos is an energetic and fun opening night venue and so we brought them back for an encore! This is a show where the audience are the stars and the piano players are the hosts of the party. Simply put, it is comedy, music, dance and sing-along wrapped up into one totally dynamic show. The majority of songs are by audience request and nothing is planned or pre-staged. Every single performance is different - a NEW show each and every time you see it! KEEP CHECKING BACK - MAYBE WE WILL BOOK THEM AGAIN FOR 2012!?

Saturday Headliners!

Kari Anne and the lost Creek Folk Singers have played all over Michigan offering up the group's modern twist on folk music much to their audiences enjoyment. Kari Bodman plays the guitar and sings lead; Ron Esch plays the harmonica; Neil Stoddard plays the Irish whistle, sings harmony and plays guitar; and Terry Walsworth plays the banjo and sings harmony.
