Moore, Brad

Combining a large variety of popular songs with some original material, you'll hear anything from new tunes by Creed and Matchbox 20, classics from the Eagles and Bob Seger, to 80's glam bands, and even some country tunes!" - 614-985-0555, Brad - 12/29/06

CENTRAL OHIO'S HOTTEST COUNTRY-ROCK BAND!

Rustie Blue

Rustie Blue stopped by one afternoon during the CMA Music Festival and played a song hot off the pen--she had a songwriting session that morning and wrote "Cowgirls Do It Better," a rompingly funny look at the romantic world of guys and gals.  The song was so new, Rustie had to keep eyeing the handwritten lyrics.  Talk about bringing us fresh music!  Her current single from her Chip Chip CD is "Oh Baby."  The album also includes a great duet with Opry legends Bill Anderson. Check out rustieblue.com for the latest news and music from this talented singer/songwriter.   Larry Holden, Country Weekly

Vaud-Villities is a non-profit 65 yr. old musical group, which dazzles its’ audience with a yearly sensational Broadway-style, professional-quality show at Veterans Memorial. One finds it hard to believe that the cast is comprised of an all-volunteer group of some 250 local dancers and singers, ages 18 to 80 who love performing, but who have other jobs or careers. What’s more, it’s incredible to see awesome stage sets, scenery, props and costumes designed and constructed by a Technical Crew consisting mostly of cast members. - [This is a wonderful organization dedicated to the arts. You don't have to sing or dance to belong to Vaud-Villities. They can use your help in any form. If you sing or dance you can get a part in the show. But if you have time and would like to just help out, there is something you can do to participate: painting sets, helping with costumes, helping backstage, technical support, carpentry, driving truck, moving sets and costumes, helping with Kids Show Camp... the list goes on and on.-bfg]  For questions involving Vaud-Villities please email: info@vvproductions.com - 1/14/07
