Saline Fiddlers Since 1994, the Saline Fiddlers have undeniably set the standard for extracurricular music programs in the United States. The group began with a simple idea: introduce an alternative style of music education to public school students. It has grown into a model of instruction and motivation that is being emulated across the nation. Yet more importantly, it is a brilliant example of what young adults can and will achieve if given a direction and the opportunity to explore, and pursue their own interests. The Fiddlers' tours have brought them from the east coast to the west coast, down south and up north too. Recent tours have included New York City, Boston, California, Nevada, Florida, southeastern states (where Bluegrass was born) and many other places where the Saline Fiddlers have positively changed people's lives. The summer of 2006 took them to Mississippi's Gulf coast, where they gave a series of hugely-appreciated benefit concerts for storm-weary residents and relief workers from all over the country. The Saline Fiddlers maintain a year round performance schedule, averaging 80 performances each year. |

JUNE 16 Movie on the Street |
Charlie Bauman & Dueling Pianos Dueling Pianos is one of the most energetic and fun venues
available. It is a show where the people in the audience are the stars
and the piano players are the hosts of the party. There is no other
entertainment quite like it because dueling pianos is not limited to genre of
music, or social occasion. 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. No matter who the performers, dueling pianos is a NEW
show each and every time you see it. |

Annabelle Road With a big-as-the-room sound, the ability to rock the doors off the toughest clubs, the heart to keep a crowd hanging on every note and the party going till closing time, Annabelle Road blows in from the intersection where rural and urban sensibilities meet. Tapping Motor City's rich musical well by way of Butcher Holler, this barnstorming band fuses the best of rock and country seamlessly to their polished originals. Mass appeal is guaranteed from the rockers to the honky tonkers. It's trucker hats and big hair in a chopper shop. Moonshine on steel wheels. If you're ready to rock out on a Carrie Underwood-meets-Johnny Cash-by way of-Skynard trip, do not miss the opportunity to experience the joyride that is Annabelle Road. |

Justine Blazer To answer your first question, yes, “Blazer” is her real, given name. “I get asked that all the time,” Justine says with a smile. It’s also an accurate description of the impact her incredible talent is searing into the heart of the country music world. A statuesque 5-foot-10 twenty something blonde and former model, Justine Blazer is impossible to overlook – or ignore. To answer
all your other questions, listen to her latest CD Welcome to My World, or
sample her powerhouse five-octave voice at a live show. Infusing her vivacious
country sound with the brawny rock ‘n’ roll and silvery soul of her Motor City
roots, the national recording artist whose single and video “Red, White and
Blue” has become an anthem for our servicemen overseas is expanding her
enthusiastic fan base with every original song. Along with singing and
performing, she also plays the acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and the
harmonica. |

Six Foot Poles
The Six Foot Poles play classic rock and roll the way it was before it
became just another subsidiary of multi-national corporations. They play from
their souls and their hearts with a natural joy that can only come from the
purest rock and roll. Whether performing an obscure classic tune or a crafted
original, each song is a creation of love. You might sum up the Six Foot Poles
sound as vintage rock with a Motown twist. The musical knowledge and experience
of the Poles spans five decades and over 100 years of experience playing in
various local bands. The band includes three brothers, Dave, Mark and Mat
Brzezinski, Theo Smith, their “brother from another mother," and the "five foot
pole" Joelene. Mat provides the driving backbeat as Dave, Mark and Theo all
trade off on guitar and bass duties. Theo adds keyboards to the mix and Joelene
does the percussion. The vocal chores are shared by all, the majority being the
harmonies of Mark and Theo and the powerful vocal stylings of Joelene.
