SOUTHERN CRESCENT BAND

SOUTHERN CRESCENT is one of the most versatile variety bands in the upstate of South Carolina. Mixing a variety of music including oldies, beach, pop, and rock, the band adjusts their broad song selection to each audience’s particular tastes.

THE SHANE PRUITT BAND

An extraordinary bluesman is raised in the suburbs;  in the shadow of a Wal-Mart store...  A youngster learns the depth and breadth of the blues without leaving his house...  Living in Spartanburg, South Carolina, his style mimics neither the sprightly,  acoustic - based Piedmont blues indigenous to his region nor the all- influential Texas sounds of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan...  A gentle and shy young man becomes a FEROCIOUS and animated axe king the second he hits the stage...

CHOCOLATE THUNDER 

From a long line of strong female vocalists, Linda Rodney has a gospel upbringing and has been singing gospel since adolescence.  Her music has a hint of blues to it with a powerful meaning accompanied by strong vocals in every song.

ARMY GROUND FORCES JAZZ GUARDIANS

An 18-member group whose primary mission is to maintain and promote Jazz, a uniquely American art form.  Under the direction of Sergeant Major Joseph A. Camarda, the Jazz Guardians pay tribute to the big bands of yesterday by performing the music made popular by such greats as Ellington, Basie, Miller, and Herman. Demonstrating their great versatility, the group also performs the latest and most innovative sounds of today’s most popular composers.

The Jazz Guardians have been featured at numerous jazz festivals around the United States, performing with such notable artists as Louis Bellson, Cab Calloway, Bill Watrous, Conrad Herwig, and Jamey Abersold.  Equally comfortable in live performance or the studio, the group recently finished recording its second compact disc, appropriately titled The Jazz Guardians.  Given their broad talents and diverse repertoire, a concert by the Jazz Guardians will be sure to entertain any audience.
