Charlie has been playing music all his life. Meeting and sharing the stage with many national acts, most notable, Willie Nelson. This has given Charlie a very exciting, adventurous career. After singing and playing drums with Uncle Ugly for over 20 years, he decided to branch out and put out his first solo effort. On the new album, "Good Life," Charlie sings, plays guitar, harmonica, and hand percussions, and also wrote songs.

You've never heard violin like this! The world's premier visionary violinist, Dixon's life mission is to inspire people - and he has done so across North America, including giving three TED talks/performances, over ten years at Burning Man, plus radio, TV, and film appearances. A former technology leader and symphony violinist, Dixon walked away from a distinguished career to follow his dream full-time, and invented a whole new music genre. Dixon now improvises on a 5- string electric violin with a looping system he developed to create an all-live one-man symphony, guided by his remarkable personal story of life transformation. Dixon's passionate energy will enchant, mesmerize, and inspire you!

From the sidewalk to the stage, Streetlight Cadence will have you smiling, singing, and hopping on your feet before the evening’s end. A welcome departure from cookie-cutter pop music playlists - in an amazing display of lyrical storytelling and instrumental prowess.
Originally formed in Honolulu, Streetlight Cadence has captured the hearts of many through their warm spirit and electric sound. You’ll know from the moment the show starts that this will not be an ordinary concert. It’s been a decade of living rooms and stadiums, but every audience adds something new. On the largest stages, the band pays homage to their busking days while bringing acoustic thunder to the most intimate settings. They even made an Emmy®-nominated television series about it! Really, it’s unsuspecting and welcoming, for friends old and new.
If you dig acoustic folk rock vibes with hints of classical and bluegrass, and are looking for a spectacular show with a bunch of down-to-earth musicians that feels like hangingout with family - Streetlight Cadence won’t disappoint.
