2026 Lineup

The Whammies – Friday Night

The Whammies are a high-energy 80s cover band dedicated to bringing the most unforgettable decade in music roaring back to life. From neon-soaked pop anthems to fist-pumping rock classics and dance-floor favorites, their setlist is packed with songs everyone knows and loves.

This is not a “stand and watch” kind of show—it’s a sing-along, dance-it-out, laugh-with-your-friends kind of night. Whether you grew up with these songs on the radio, discovered them later, or just love great music with big hooks and even bigger fun, The Whammies make it easy to jump in.

Perfect for adults of all ages, their shows feel like a joyful throwback party where the only requirement is having a good time. Expect nonstop energy, crowd interaction, and the kind of feel-good vibes that turn a normal night out into a shared memory. Dust off your leg warmers (optional) and get ready—The Whammies bring the 80s, and the fun, every single time.

Old Green Eyes and the Phil DeGreg Trio – Saturday Afternoon

Pianist Phil DeGreg, a longtime cornerstone of the Cincinnati jazz scene, brings his acclaimed trio to the stage with a lively program celebrating chart-topping hits by Italian American artists. Known for his elegant touch, swinging feel, and deep roots in the jazz tradition, DeGreg leads an ensemble that blends sophistication with infectious energy.

Joining the trio is special guest Old Green Eyes (Dan Radank), a Cincinnati-based entertainer celebrated for his smooth, Sinatra-style vocals. A familiar presence throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, Radank adds classic charm and charisma to the performance, delivering beloved standards with warmth and style. Together, they present an engaging evening of timeless favorites, honoring the rich musical legacy of Italian American icons through jazz.
