They possess the rare combination of many years of experience and youthful energy, fired by a love for what they do. The Doo-Wahs are country, with a unique, original sound. They define their sound as "high energy country with a cajun twist".

Their tight musicianship and powerful arrangements of classic, and original songs have made them favorites everywhere they go. Performing two shows nightly from May 9-12 on the American Housing Pavilion Stage ~ Times TBA..

Left Of Centre, formerly "The Mudpuppies," was originally formed in Southern California in March, 1991. They soon became one of the regions most popular bands and have earned several awards.

The most common complement Left Of Centre receives is how well they cover all styles of music and how strong their connection is with the crowds. Performing two shows nightly from May 13-17 on the American Housing Pavilion Stage ~ Times TBA.
