JIM HARTNETT Jim rocked to a sold out crowd in June and is back for an encore performance. His high energy, piano driven sets are mix of original songs and covers. He specializes in composing piano arrangements from popular, guitar-centered songs. Expect to hear everything from The Beatles to Dave Matthews, The Who to Ben Folds, and Counting Crows to John Mayer. |

Son of 76 SOLO Act Influenced by a range of genres and musical heroes, Son of 76 and The Watchmen is consistently branded as soul music. Not because they fit tightly into the genre definition, but because that is where the music comes from, directly and forcefully from the soul. |
 |
TRIO DEL LLANO Trio del Llano had the crowd dancing to the Cuban beat in June and return to keep the rhythm flowing after the Husker game. Son del Llano revives the classic songs of 1950's and 60's Havana, mingled with original salsa and elegant boleros. Fresh and authentic, drawing inevitable comparisons to the Buena Vista Social Club, Son del Llano presents the sounds of Cuba and Latin America with soul and style. |
