Beats, guitars, bass, vocals. How can all these sounds be generated by just one guy? For the last 4 years, Preston Pugmire has been entertaining audiences all over the US with his looping performance.
Electronic floor pedals allow Preston to record anything he plays live, and then layer multiple sounds on top of it, creating an entire song from scratch. He does this right in front of the crowd while keeping them completely engaged and involved.
Preston was recently voted 2013’s Best Music Performer or the entire college circuit by Campus Activities Magazine!

Jackson truly captures the presence of Johnny Cash, not only through Johnny’s music, but also his storytelling. From the moment Jackson and the New Tennessee Two Band takes the stage with a traditional Johnny Cash greeting to his exit, with guitar slung over his back, Jackson offers an exceptional portrayal of Johnny Cash.

The Cadillacs A’capella, a 5 member singing group, has been performing around the intermountain west for the past 23 years. The group originated in 1989 when members brought their considerable talents together to sing the great old “Doo Wop” songs of the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. Since those earliest days, and after several changes in group members, the Cadillacs have branched out to include other musical genres. Songs in the current show include big band hits from the 1930’s and 40’s, a medley of songs from “Queen”, some light Jazz, and an extraordinary medley and tribute to “The Beatles.” The Cadillacs have performed all over the intermountain west from Las Vegas to Steamboat Springs; from Salt Lake City to Phoenix and just about every small town and large city in Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Arizona, and Nevada. The Cadillacs’ show is fast paced and laced together with humor and audience participation. The group’s unique sound and musical selection connects with audiences young and old.
