Full Count Big Band: July 14, 2016
The Full Count Big Band is a seventeen piece orchestra that has been performing together for over a decade. A professional group whose music is eclectic, not just nostalgic. Although the term “big band” is most closely associated with its heyday of the Swing Era (1935-1945), it is a genre that has existed from the 1920’s and continues to this day. With a musical library of over five-thousand arrangements, Full Count provides an eclectic mix of music ranging from the Swing Era classics to more contemporary jazz music, latin, rhythm & blues, funk, and rock. Regardless of the musical style, the instrumentation of saxophones, trumpets, trombones and rhythm provides unrivaled harmonic and rhythmic excitement. www.fullcountbigband.com.

Amish Outlaws: August 18
The Amish practice a tradition called “Rumspringa” (running around) in which, at age 16, they can live free of the strict Amish code before deciding if they want to be baptized into the Amish church. Surprisingly, virtually all of the youths return. But sometimes they don’t. Four of the original six members of this band were born and raised in Lancaster, PA and had a strict Amish upbringing. No electricity from land lines, no alcohol, no musical instruments, but their spirits were too wild for the Amish lifestyle. Once they trampled in the Devil’s Playground, there was no turning back. Since Rumspringa, the Amish Outlaws have become well acclimated to the pleasures and vices of the modern world… music, most of all. From Johnny Cash, JayZ, Lady Gaga to Bon Jovi & Elvis they will entertain you!
