Gerald Rettner with the Adelweis Trio has performed in Germany, mostly in Berlin, and in America since 1977, playing woodwind instruments such as sax, clarinet and flute. He has played the accordion with many small bands for October Fest events, as well as in German restaurants.

He performed with Myron Floren for over 20 years in Florida playing sax, clarinet and accordion.

Lawrence App began touring in 1974 with a variety of Latin, jazz, and show groups. Since then he has performed over 6,000 times, written over 200 compositions, and appeared on recordings and television. You won’t want to miss this diverse musician!

The artistically creative favorite of many audiences, Stephen and Patricia Ann Dees combine their talents in the Bandees.  Featuring Patricia on vocals, flute, oboe, saxophone, harmonica and keyboard and Stephen on vocals, guitars, bass, keyboard, and percussion, this is a duo that displays both versatility and virtuosity with a wide-ranging yet distinctive sound. Their performance blends Rock, Pop, Folk, Jazz, Celtic, and a bit of Rock-a-Billy to take listeners through diverse and energetic musical experiences.

A native Floridian, Charlie Gear began playing the violin as a teenager when his younger brother, Jim Gear, bought him his first violin. Charlie was fortunate to have had early training with David Davidson, a well-known studio violinist and Celtic artist in the Nashville area.

Charlie's works comprise a wide variety of original instrumental tunes, backed by sequencer accompaniment, which fuse a New Age/blues/jazz/celtic feel.

Magda Hiller’s career as a musically diverse, intelligent performing songwriter has had her opening shows solo for Chick Corea, Bob Dylan, Dan Fogelberg, Huey Lewis and the News and more. Magda has won 'Best Acoustic Performer' and 'Best Solo Act' awards for years from multiple Florida news publications and worked considerably with Warner Bros. Publications as an instructor on their video/DVD guitar, song instruction series SongXpress. Magda’s music draws from fingerstyle guitar, to jazz, blues and country americana, with rich, earthy vocals.

The Bobby Mercer Road Show is a solid professional high energy dance act featuring music from the 40's to the 2000's. They have the ability to get dancers on the floor and at the same time entertain!

The New Smyrna Showdolls, the award-winning dance troupe from New Smyrna beach High School, perform a diverse range of musical pieces with their dazzling, colorful array of talented dancing entertainers. They always capture their audience with a kaleidoscope of sound and motion.

Jaimie Roberts, another native Floridian, takes the stage with The Greg Parnell Trio. Jamie does a lot of local work, having made cameo appearances at several Disney stages, and continues to travel the country performing for corporate clients.

The Navy Band Southeast’s Jazz Ensemble is an eighteen-piece group that performs a wide variety of music from traditional Big Band classics to contemporary Jazz, sizzling Latin to Motown.  With high caliber vocals and dynamic soloists, this versatile group has entertained tens-of-thousands of audiences at numerous festivals, schools, and military events throughout the Southeast region.  Wherever they perform, they are met with excitement and enthusiasm!
