Shows Are Standing Room OnlyClose your eyes and you wont know the difference. Open them and you still might be fooled. The Insiders present the premier Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers experience. With 6 veteran musicians and decades of combined stage and touring experience, The Insiders are genuinely running down the dream. It all starts with frontman Max Lockwood. I grew up listening to Tom Petty. My mom would play the Greatest Hits record while she worked out. Id sit at the top of the stairs and listen to those songsit was my most requested CD as a young kid. In high school, Lockwoods band Big Dudee Roo started covering Petty songs at their frequent shows in West Michigan. Tom Petty was part of the great American landscape to mea legend by the time I was musically conscious. We got a great crowd reaction with Petty tunes, and people frequently commented that I sounded a lot like him.

This unique blend is on full display with the Christmas Caravan show, which has increasingly grown in popularity, selling out venues throughout the United States."There is of course jazz of various stripes (mainly pre-WWII varieties) on this deliciously wide ranging night of entertainment, but there's so much more:sounds, identifiable and not, emanating from mysterious times and places, notthe least of which is NewOrleans, their home base, a land that, forever and still, has a mind of its own." – Relix

Limited Seating. First Come, First Served. ALL AGESThis year marks the 30th Anniversary of Ho Ho Hoey. In 1995 Gary Hoey created the first ever full album of rock instrumental holiday classics in his bedroom on an 8-track recorder. His love for Christmas music came from his beloved mother and growing up in Boston set the backdrop for many great holiday memories. Garys Ho! Ho! Hoey Rockin Holiday Tour has become a cherished holiday tradition for families and radio stations around the world. His success behind instrumental rock Christmas music started after his version of The Twelve Days of Christmas hit the airwaves with its classical arrangement and metal flavor. The show is a unique fusion of holiday cheer and electrifying rock n roll, masterminded by the virtuoso guitarist. Hoeys prolific career has spanned over 30 years and 21 albums in various genres. Its his amazing talent and love for his fans that have made him immensely popular with audiences of all ages. Joining him is his amazing son, Ian Hoey on guitar.Hoeys music is featured in Hallmark greeting cards and Deck The Halls which is featured in the movie starring Danny Devito. It has also made him fortunate enough to give back in the process, helping the veterans with clothing drives, Toys for Tots and food drives. Bring the whole family together and celebrate this holiday season as only Gary Ho! Ho! Hoey can.
