Four time Grammy Award winner and the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental.

Steve Wariner began his music career as a teenager, playing bass and singing in Dottie West's band at age 17. By 1977 he had his first "singles" deal as a solo artist, thanks to Chet Atkins at RCA. In 1980, he scored his first Top Ten hit, "Your Memory." For the next decade, you couldn't read a record chart without seeing Steve Wariner's name at the top. He had moved from RCA Records to MCA, where he worked with producer Tony Brown, finding chart success with such self-penned hits as "I Should Be With You," "I Got Dreams" and "Baby I'm Yours."

To stay on top in a field as changeable as country music, you must plan every step. Or you can do it like Wariner – he is just going where the music takes him. It's clear that he has come up with the most brilliant plan of all.

For the Spencers, magic is no longer merely about baffling the audience by doing something seemingly impossible, it’s about drama, spectacle, interaction, danger, and personality! During the show people have been known to levitate, walk through walls, vanish, and reappear. And be prepared to experience the magic yourself because the Spencers don’t want you to just sit in your seat and watch - they want you to participate! You won’t believe your eyes!

Sierra Leone’s Refugee All StarsSierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars

$28, $32 and $36

Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars burst onto the world stage in 2006 with the help of a moving documentary film that told the powerful and inspirational story of the group’s formation in a West African refugee camp. From these humble beginnings, the band went on to release one of the most acclaimed world music releases in the past few years, “Living Like A Refugee”. The title track of the album was recorded by the light of an oil lamp in Sembakounya Refugee Camp in Guinea, West Africa. The band sang and laughed into the night, healing and being healed by their music. You will feel inspired and honored to have been part of their journey.

“As harrowing as these personal tales may be, the music buoying them is uplifting. The cliché bears repeating: music heals and creates community.”
- Stephen Holden, New York Times
