Hailing from Australia, Little River Band claimed their place as one of the greatest vocal bands of the 70’s and 80’s with hits such as “Reminiscing,” “Lonesome Loser,” “The Night Owls,” and “Take it Easy on Me.” They will be performing with Ambrosia and Player on Friday, January 8, 2016.

The King of Romance, Engelbert Humperdinck is still wooing and wowing crowds and no doubt there will be a fair share of swooning happening on Sunday, January 10 when the legendary British star takes the stage.
