The Funsters Website | Facebook THE Funsters are Rock’n’Soul Horn Band that puts the “fun” into the music…& the people on the dance floor! It’s why they’re still entertaining crowds at concerts and events after decades of performing together!!! Not only is this a collective of great musicians who share a pride in each other’s musical talents, but their spirit and camaraderie on stage is what captivates a Funsters audience…and enables this band to deliver their catalogue of classic tunes as only The Funsters can! The Lowdown on Funsters 2.0 The secret to the longevity and success of this “band of brothers” called The Funsters is the deep- rooted, near infinite connection between the members…some going back to childhood. With no agenda or goal – this group coalesced over time. Initially as a boy’s night out band with random, occasional get togethers. Then, to the great amazement of all players…this “fall together” band became a very popular and in demand 10-piece Rock ’n’ Soul Horn Band! Never taking their successes too seriously, the band found themselves joined on stage by a female vocalist at a preeminent annual event. Every year, the role of vocalist Nancy Curry expanded until in 2023, she joined The Funsters on stage for the entire evening’s performance. It just felt so right for all parties concerned…the invitation was made…& 2024 began with Nancy Curry becoming the newest addition to The Funsters!

Damn the Torpedoes: Tom Petty Tribute!
The complete Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers concert experience! Mesmerizing audiences since 2007, DAMN THE TORPEDOES offer a complete Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers concert experience. Whether performing note for note renditions of the studio recordings or engaging the audience with actual live versions of TPATH’s performances, patrons and venues can be assured that DTT delivers the “AWE” factor EVERY TIME! About Damn the Torpedoes Website | Facebook | YouTube | Twitter | Video Rich Kubicz, who plays the role of Tom Petty in the show, has been playing guitar and singing since his early teens. By 2007, so many people had told him that he looked and sounded like Tom Petty that he decided to put together Damn TheTorpedoes as a tribute to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The goal was to play all of the studio hits, some of the live versions and a few deep cuts to create the illusion of a Tom Petty concert performance. This meant that each band member would need to find the same sounds as on the records and play their parts note for note. Over the years Damn The Torpedoes has evolved with a deeper understanding of the Tom Petty catalog and more committed members. The current lineup has been in place for several years and demonstrates the unspoken chemistry that makes any great band. All of the signature riffs, harmonies and underlying parts of the music are there—and the show has become “second nature”with an artistry and emotion that makes audiences smile. Or as Rich likes to say, we deliver the “awe factor” in every performance.

Every artist has their influences, but Josh Christina is one of the few who can say he’s won a seal of approval from the peers of his heroes. Christina is living proof that while heroes are remembered, legends never die. Quite literally the last of a dying breed, the piano rock phenomenon is carrying the torch passed down by the genre’s founding fathers; the legacy left behind by pioneers Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley. Described as “the future of rock n roll” by Chuck Berry’s former pianist and bandleader Daryl Davis, Josh fuses classic influences with a distinct performance style that’s both nostalgic and fresh.

The piano-wielding front man combines the soul of what was once the most controversial musical movement of its time with his own distinct, magnetic performance style, reaching audiences nationwide and beyond.

Famed pianist and band leader Daryl Davis proclaimed, “in 20th century 1955, it took several young men to create and define Rock ‘n’ Roll. 65 years later and it only takes one young man who embodies all the pioneers to introduce it to the 21st century– that man is Josh Christina.” Tasked by one of the greats with leading a rock n roll revival all his own, Christina takes pride in every note he plays, every word he sings and every moment he spends on stage.
Amish Outlaws
Featured as a “Top Entertainment Pick” in New York Magazine’s 2012 “In a very short time, this band has captured the hearts, minds, and butter churners of the masses with their hilarious onstage performances of everything from Bon Jovi to Snoop & Dre.” – Night & Day Magazine About Amish Outlaws Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube It is a little-known fact that most Amish practice a tradition similar to the Christian “Confirmation” and Jewish “Bar Mitzvah” called “Rumspringa” (literal translation: “running around”) in which Amish children at the age of 16 have an opportunity to live free of the strict Amish code of conduct before deciding if they want to come back and be baptized into the Amish church. Surprisingly, virtually all of the youths return. But sometimes they don’t. Four out of the original six members of The Amish Outlaws 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. In the years since Rumspringa, the members of the Amish Outlaws have become very well acclimated to the pleasures and vices of the modern world… music, most of all. Thus, with a bold lust for life and a fire for music and performance that can only come from 16 years of repression, The Amish Outlaws were unleashed upon the world.

This dedicated group of performers work year-round to deliver a theatrical and memorable Christmas concert experience suitable for fans of all ages. “Create a resounding holiday rock orchestra,” that was the 2002 vision of Twelve Twenty-Four co-founders George Houseknecht, Richie Kossuth, Lenny Kucinski, and Jason Santos. A vision that was not only fulfilled, but one that energetically continues to this day. Since its inception, the band has evolved from a five-piece rock band to a complete rock orchestra. Inspired by the music and stage presentation of some of music’s greatest rock orchestras, Twelve Twenty-Four presents a show that involves high-energy rock music combined with professional stage effects. If it appears to be a considerable effort for a month and a half of shows, Music Director Jason Santos said there are good reasons the group tours each year. “The way people come back every year … it’s emotionally charging. It’s uplifting when people are talking and they say it starts their Christmas off or they’re having a bad day and needed some spiritual uplifting,” Santos said.
