The Main Stage 2010

The Main Stage will be filled with great bands on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings.  Come out and listen to the music while enjoying food and beverage from our many food vendors.  There is plenty of room in the front of the stage and in under the tent if you would like to sit at a table.  The entertainment is FREE, there are no entry fees.

(Click on the band's picture for more band information.)

Paparazzi is a high powered Party Rock, Pop, Country Rock, and Alternative band.  This is a show from start to finish - both visually and sonically captivating.  Paparazzi features a female lead vocalist.  The band can cover No Doubt, Mellissa Etheridge, or Gretchen Wilson, but that barely scratches the surface of what this band can deliver.  Paparazzi brings you the best and most exciting party rock from the latest hits by the Black Eyes Peas and Lady Gaga to the classics from Led Zeppelin and Journey.

So what happens when 5 musicians who love amazing music get together for good times & great tunes? PETTYCASH! First of all, who DOESN'T like the music of Tom Petty or Johnny Cash, especially while hanging out, cold brew in hand, at your local festival? Songs you know? CHECK. Singing along allowed? CHECK. Dancing in the aisles to your favorite songs? REQUIRED!! PettyCash is a high octane stage show appropriate for old rockers, baby rockers and everything in between. The combined years of musical experience in this band equals...roughly...1,000 so you’re guaranteed to see some shredding too. But sorry folks...they won’t kick out the footlights unless it is specifically requested by those die hard aficionados. So don’t be Petty...just give ‘em some Cash and wait for your new, favorite cover band to spark a love affair with you...like Johnny & June!
