The Diamonds
Through the years since the release of Little Darlin’ (1957), THE DIAMONDS have learned one important lesson—the durability of this classic rock and roll music is as much about the future as it is about the past. As a result, THE DIAMONDS continue to expand their audience to this day, performing in a variety of venues and settings worldwide. These performances include — with Symphony Orchestras, in Performing Arts Theatres and major concert halls, on cruise ships, in casinos, at county and state fairs, on tours of England, Ireland, Brazil, Chile, Korea, and Japan, for benefit concerts, corporate conventions and at nightclubs. “We’ve been pleased to find a growing audience among all age groups. They love songs they can understand, remember and actually sing the words to — today, tomorrow, or even 20 years from now.”

The King
The Playhouse welcomes back the ultimate Elvis Tribute show starring the phenomenal Tyler Christopher! Elvis' contribution to Rock and Roll and American culture cannot be over-emphasized.
Elvis is such an icon that he became known simply as "The King". Throughout the evening audience members will go on a musical journey of three major historical periods in Elvis' career: The early years in the fifties when a young Elvis became an overnight sensation; The '68 Comeback Special when Elvis made his triumphant energized return from years in Hollywood; and finally the 70's when Elvis electrified audiences in Las Vegas and toured the country as a living musical icon.
There are too many hits to list, but come and see all Elvis' amazing chart-topping songs such as Hound Dog, Don't Be Cruel, Heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes, Suspicious Minds, and many, many more.
This production was graciously sponsored by Hills O' Brown Vacation Rentals, thank you so much!

Six hot August Nashville recording days produced this 34 song benchmark album, relevant to this day – (on Amazon Circle occupies the #1 spot on 3 charts and is #45 on their Country chart).
Appearing in 4 episodes of Ken Burns Country Music, John is thought of as an integral part of the history of country music – In Episode 6, titled “Will the Circle Be Unbroken”, he describes the making of this milestone album.

All join host John McEuen, with his banjo, guitar, fiddle and mandolin (in front of the screen) for the hits and stories behind the music, leading up to that magic time when three generations came together. The Library of Congress inducted the ‘Circle’ as one of “…the most important American recordings” (also in the Grammy Hall of Fame).
With classic NGDB favorites and music from McEuen’s new highly praised record - Made in Brooklyn - on Chesky Records. (Stereophile Magazine’s Record of the Month; honored with Best America album by the IMA, 2018) the audience is taken through some of the best years of their lives.
