Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band

One word to describe the swampdelic sounds of Chubby Carrier and Bayou Swamp Band? Fun. Pure Louisiana zydeco fun with a hot sauce chaser. Anybody who has doubts about the accordion as an instrument will be swayed the right way with Carrier's passion and fire on the instrument.

Rough Ryders

A local group from O’Fallon, Mo., “The Rough Riders” entertains and wows the crowds with some good ole country music such as Hank Williams Jr.’s “Family Tradition” and Craig Morgan’s “International Harvester.” They are awesome! The Rough Ryders kick some serious butt and are a hard act to follow!

Charlie and the Stingrays

If you're ready to party... come party with Charlie! Charlie and the Stingrays, that is. They're a no-holds-barred party band that's always a guaranteed good time. They play only the hottest Rock and Roll hits from the 60's, 70's, and 80's along with carefully chosen dance favorites of today. This mixture makes for an evening of non-stop excitement. The music brings out emotions within the audience that most bands simply can't bring to life. That's why Charlie and the Stingrays have been in constant demand in their twenty-five years together (as of 2010).
