The Glenn Miller Orchestra
THE WORLD FAMOUS
GLENN MILLER ORCHESTRA®
The legendary Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all dance bandleaders back in the Swing Era of the 1930’s and 40’s. A matchless string of hit records, the constant impact of radio broadcasts and the drawing power at theaters, hotels and dance pavilion, built and sustained the momentum of popularity.
Today, the 18 member ensemble continues to play many of the original Miller arrangements both from the civilian band and the AAFB libraries. Additionally, it also plays some more modern selections arranged and performed in the Miller style and sound.

MoeDeLL & Company
MoeDeLL is an American singer-songwriter. His guitar picking style, poetic lyrics, and unique voice are the foundation. His foot stomping, down home melodies, tell tales from light to dark and from silliness to the endearing.
MoeDeLL grew up in southern Virginia, and it’s apparent in his songs, with country, bluegrass, and old-time music influencing his sound and storytelling.
Over the years, the Country Americana powerhouse has performed his "down home music" for crowds of every size. Back when he first started making music for a living, MoeDeLL received a sage piece of advice: "Play the same in front of 5 people as you would in front of 5000."
Nominated for Songwriter of the Year and Americana Artist of the Year, for the 2020 and 2021 Midwest Country Music Association Awards.
