“SPAGHETTI CAKE”
“ORIGINAL CHILDREN’S JAM ROCK”
Spaghetti Cake is a six-piece rock group (Vocals, Keyboards, Bass, Drum set, Guitar, Percussion) that performs for young audiences and adults, bringing to life 'The Young Person's Guide to the Rock Band'. The stage show is a mix of descriptive performance, Q&A sessions, and hands-on experience for kids that are always met with startled faces, scores of air guitarists, and a generation of will-be musicians. The all-star group of talented musicians in Spaghetti Cake shines as brightly on the arena stage as in front of festival crowds. The music of Spaghetti Cake delivers a positive message about believing in who you are, and celebrating the kid in us all. This concert is being filmed for a LIVE DVD!

A Big thanks to my friend Lisa Stankus for providing us with this outstanding band. Get ready for a night of Beatles, Jimmy Hendricks, Eric Clapton and some of their own original music. This group of 20-21 year old guys from Watertown have been playing together for approximately 5 years statewide. What a great way to get together with friends for a fun-filled evening at the park.
“RUBBER CITY BLUES BAND”
WEDNESDAY, JULY 16TH
We recently formed this group this past summer. We are 12 musicians strong, playing and singing songs from horn groups such as Chicago, Tower of Power, Blood, Sweat & Tears, etc., plus we have written some original tunes. We have made multiple appearances at the Red Door Inn in Watertown, played at the Jimmy Jam Fundraiser in September, did a wedding cocktail hour performance in October, and performed for the Independent and Democratic political parties fundraisers in November. We are booked for the Atlantic Restaurant in Danbury for New Year's Eve and for the 2008 Relay for Life Event (usually held at Municipal Stadium, will be at Crosby HS this year due to field work). Everywhere we go, we are getting rave reviews and positive audience feedback.

“T-BONE”
“AMERICA’S MUSICAL PIED PIPER – CHILDRENS CONCERT”
T-Bone has performed for thousands of people throughout the United States since 1972. Maybe it’s the child in him that enables T-Bone to connect so well with his audiences or the fact that he has the energy of a runaway freight train. Whatever the reason, and before his audiences realize it, they are clapping, singing and dancing at T-Bone’s shows. This is “full contact” entertainment at it’s best and a show your community won’t soon forget!
