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.

The Avalons: Rock & Roll Oldies Sensation
Through music, comedy and crazy antics, the audience will be swept away on a memorable journey through the 50’s, 60’s and early 70’s. It’s fun entertainment the whole family can enjoy. About the Avalons Website | Facebook | YouTube The Avalons (formerly Sh-Boom) had its birth in 1987 when two fellow broadcasters at an oldies station had a conversation about a show they had promoted the night before. They compared notes about the bands, plays, and stage shows they had been involved in through the years and decided they could produce a great show. And 50’s and 60’s Rock ‘n’ Roll was one of their passions. They met a local musician who produced custom show tracks for singers and theatre groups. The track music could create the sound of the original artists and provide the full orchestral sound associated with many of the hits of the 50’s and 60’s with a quality far superior to the usual karaoke or performance tracks. They decided that they wanted to be a show with all the entertainment elements…costumes, choreography, audience participation and wacky humor, instead of just another band that played oldies. Two additional members were added to help recreate all the great sounds of the great oldies artists. A wacky comedy style evolved along with the music…and their great 4 part harmonies were complemented with one zany bit after another.
