The World-Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra, with music director Erik Stabnau and vocalist Jenny Swoish, is alive and well 80 years after the original formation. Featuring 16 musicians and singers, the group will bring timeless classics like “Tuxedo Junction,” “A String of Pearls,” “Chattanooga Choo Choo,” and “Pennsylvania 6-5000” to Wabash.

Levon consists of three best friends: Michael David Hall, Jake Singleton, and Ryan Holladay, known for their soulful vocals on stand-out original tracks like “Give Up Your Heart to Me,” “Wonder,” and their latest single, “Till the Wheels Fall Off.” A few of the trio’s musical roots are suggested by their name, a homage to the talents of Levon Helm, as well as Elton John and his signature 1971 hit, “Levon.” Despite all being in their early thirties, Michael, Jake, and Ryan share a collective musical passion for the ’70s artist/songwriter generation, placing an emphasis on harmony-driven style built around compelling lyrics and memorable melodies: music with a timeless quality. In 2022, the group opened for REO Speedwagon on their 40th-Anniversary tour.

Sisters Danica and Devynn Hart and cousin Trea Swindle make up Chapel Hart, whose colorful and contagious energy has flourished into a full live band experience. In 2021, the Mississippi trio was inducted in to CMT’s Next Women of Country. The group has an amazing ability to tug on your heartstrings with a tender ballad, then have you pumping your fist in unison to the pulse of hard-hitting music.

The Kentucky Headhunters created a hybrid of honkytonk, blues, and Southern rock in the early ’70s with hits like “Oh Lonesome Me,” “The Ballad of Davy Crockett,” and “Dumas Walker.” Molly Hatchet cemented their place in music history in the late ’70s playing a mixture of English invasion rock, blues, country, and gospel with hits including “Flirtin’ with Disaster,” “Beatin’ the Odds,” and “Take No Prisoners.”
