All-night live entertainment will be provided by Mike Duke & The SoulTwisters!
​
Mike Duke & the SoulTwisters has a supercharged sound that draws from Texas shuffles, Stax Soul, Jump Blues, and New Orleans R&B. The band performs both nationally and abroad and has released a self-titled album featuring Mike’s soulful vocals and guitar.
​
Mike will be accompanied by long-time musical colleagues Steve Heck on keys and vocals, Greg Holt on bass, and Mark Texeira on drums. Their show is guaranteed to deliver a rockin’ good time!
This year's music is sponsored by Aikenhead Real Estate
