The Frontmen — comprised of three former lead singers, Larry Stewart (Restless Heart), Richie McDonald (Lonestar) and Tim Rushlow (Little Texas) — are country music's hottest new supergroup. Among them they’ve amassed 30 No. 1 hits, sold 30 million albums and are the soundtrack to every Friday night honkytonk, first kiss and broken heart for the last 30 years.
While many fans are just now getting to know their name, nearly everybody can sing every word of their nostalgic smash hits. The group recently took its massive catalog of hits including "The Bluest Eyes in Texas," "Amazed" and “God Blessed Texas," on tour with Alabama and kick-started the Harley-Davidson crowd at the 81st Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Each Frontman takes a turn in the spotlight on lead vocal duties, but all three sing nonstop throughout the entire set showcasing harmonies that only this combination of talent could achieve. Expect a night of boot-scootin’ nostalgia with the songs you already love plus brand-new music with a completely fresh sound.

Barenaked Ladies has become an institution, with a passionately dedicated audience (enough for them to headline their own cruises and have an ice cream flavor named after them) and a constant flow of new fans (plenty of whom discover the band through their theme song to The Big Bang Theory). As you’d expect from the guys who gave us “One Week” and “If I Had $1,000,000”, their 18th studio album, In Flight, captures the dry wit and keen observation fans have come to love. “It’s All Been Done” in their 35-year career, including Grammy nominations, sold-out Red Rocks shows, and No. 1 hits worldwide.
Toad the Wet Sprocket is embarking on a fall tour with Barenaked Ladies to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1994 platinum-selling album Dulcinea. Their first platinum album, Fear, produced iconic hit singles “All I Want” and "Walk on the Ocean” before they solidified their popularity and mainstream success with “Fall Down,” “Something’s Always Wrong” and “Good Intentions.” Toad’s trio of founding members are still making new music and touring with the same spirit and independence that started it all, more than three decades ago.

KC and The Sunshine Band has celebrated more than 50 years of making booties shake. Led by Harry Wayne Casey — “KC” for short — the band burst onto the dance and disco music scene in 1973 with an impressive string of hits like “Get Down Tonight,” “That’s The Way (I Like It),” “Boogie Shoes,” “(Shake Shake Shake) Shake Your Booty,” “I’m Your Boogie Man” and “Please Don’t Go.” With more than 100 million records sold, three Grammy Awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, KC and the Sunshine Band made its mark as one of the most progressive bands of the 70s and is credited with changing the sound of modern pop music. Today, you can count on hearing his music on the radio, at a nightclub, at the movies, in a sports arena or at one of the 100+ concerts KC and the Sunshine Band plays every year.

Vintage Base Ball portrays America’s pastime from its earliest roots. Throwback teams will compete in an exhibition doubleheader from the era when “base ball” was two words and the sport was first gaining popularity in the mid-1800s. Pitching was underhanded, fielders didn’t use gloves, and games were played in open fields without fences. Players will recreate the look and lingo from the era, complete with vintage reproduction uniforms. Bring a blanket or lawn chairs for comfortable seating.
