About Bill Forness
A Tribute to Johnny Cash has been sweeping the country with the iconic sounds of legendary Johnny Cash since 2010.
Rascal Martinez Band
With a voice rising “out of the Nebraska plain like cool summer swell,” Rascal Martinez blends rockabilly, folk, country and Latin sounds into covers, standards and heartfelt originals. Although still in his mid-twenties, the young Martinez’ unique roots music awakens memories of early rock artists with a sound that has been described as “resonant and fresh, yet familiar.” Martinez‘ deep, raspy country twang is mixed with strong lead guitar licks, a pounding bass guitar, strong drum beats and backup vocals.
Holiday Dueling Pianos
Fill your cup with holiday cheer and join us for the one-of-a-kind entertainment experience that is Dueling Pianos! These talented musicians will provide a request driven show full of your favorite christmas music, and audience participation is encouraged. Cap off the year and kick off the holiday season with a holly jolly singalong as we celebrate another wonderful year at the opera house.
