Evolution doesn't focus on trying to be Journey look-alikes. This band focuses on the music, with remarkable drums, bass and keyboards, along with true lead vocals and signatures guitars. The result is a fabulous, powerful, high energy show that is guaranteed to have everyone in the amphitheater standing and singing along all night long. Website: http://www.myspace.com/werevolution

Hollywood Stones

Who says you can't get no satisfaction? Our mid-summer show takes you back to the British invasion of the ‘60's.

Joel the band is the premier rock and roll Billy Joel tribute band on the West Coast. Fresh off the national tour of Billy Joel's Tony-winning rock musical "Movin' Out," piano man Kyle Martin and a group of professional musicians perform Billy Joel's timeless repertoire. They are blazin hot and will have your feet rocking out. Website: http://joeltheband.com/home.html

David Brighton is credited as being the world's best David Bowie impersonator. Brighton's credits include performing side by side with Bowie himself for Reality - Bowie's CD. With band members coming from groups such as Huey Lewis, America, Billy Idol and Nancy Sinatra to name a few; experiencing David Brighton's Tribute to Bowie is a truly remarkable evening.
