Edgar Cruz
Acoustic guitar luminary, Edgar Cruz, has the rare, show-stopping ability to sound like an entire orchestra on only one instrument. He effortlessly plays everything from the passionate intricacies of Malaguena to the full-bodied, driving voicing's of Bohemian Rhapsody, building each concert's unique offerings from a vast repertoire of more than 400 songs. With numerous industry awards, television and cable appearances, thirteen celebrated CDs, plus a PBS special called Gallery about his like and career, and more than 200 live performances each year, neither Edgar Cruz nor his "speed of light" finger-picking show any signs of slowing down!

Juggernaut Jug Band
Take a whimsical journey back to the turn of the century through the antics and jug-crazy sounds of the Juggernaut Jug Band! This foursome of brilliant horn and string players also turns "everyday-items" into instruments of virtuosity, masterfully carrying forth the torch of an historic and almost forgotten style of music and performance. Whether it's Roscoe Goose on the jug and washboard, The Amazing Mr. Fish (who isn't actually a fish, by the way) on washtub bass, Big Daddy T on Guitar and vocals (most likely in a language you'll recognize) or Smiley Habanero on "South-of-the-border" hot "gee-tar", everyone is sure to enjoy their zany renderings of American jazz and folk classics.

Saxophobia
Just after Vaudeville's heyday, saxophone manufacturers began creating new designs to spark renewed interest in the instrument. What they conjured up was truly extraordinary! Created by and starring Rob Verdi of the Side Street Strutters, Saxophobia brings to the stage Mr. Verdi's rare collection of some of the most unusual, authentic saxophones ever manufactured. He performs the famous turns that showcased their unique sounds accompanied by a world-class rhythm trio. Who could forget the fiery sounds of Charlie Parker on Scrapple from the Apple, or the warm, lush sounds of Stan Getz? Mix in a bit of Boots Randolph, Sonny Rollins and Dexter Gordon for good measure and you start to get the Saxophobia picture - one scary-good show!
