The Osmond Brothers
Osmondmania   Saturday, July 11, 2009

Five decades ago, four young boys were flashed across national television screens on what was meant to be a one-time shot at "the big time."

From that point on, their name alone became synonymous with the "big time" and everything associated with it.   More Info...
 
An Evening with Joan Baez
Special Event   Monday, July 13, 2009

Baez has performed publicly for over 50 years, released over 30 albums and recorded songs in at least eight different languages. She is considered a folk singer although her music has strayed from folk considerably after the 1960s, encompassing everything from rock and pop to country and gospel. Although a songwriter herself, especially in the mid-1970s, Baez is most often regarded as an interpreter of other people's work, covering songs by Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Jackson Browne, Paul Simon, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder and myriad other artists. In more recent years, she has found success interpreting songs of diverse songwriters such as Steve Earle, Natalie Merchant and Ryan Adams. She has a three-octave vocal range and a distinctively rapid vibrato.   More Info...

For a few years now they have been appearing on the television show Scrubs as “Ted's Band” where, as luck would have it, they have to pretend to be a quartet of friends who like to sing a cappella music. They have put out a CD, and do live shows, where you can see them singing TV and movie themes such as "Charles in Charge" and the "Six Million Dollar Man." They also do songs with talking toys - that's right, four grown men who still play with dolls action figures.   More Info...
