In addition to the many old and new events and
activities coming to Stagecoach Days 2006, visitors will be treated to a
variety of musical talent. Whether you plan to attend the carnival,
rodeo, dance and queen's coronation, cheer on the youngsters at muttin'
bustin' or view the talent of local artists, there's no doubt about it.
There's music in the air.
Thursday, Sept. 28, 8 to 10 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 30, noon to 3 p.m.
Inside Straight.
This is not a poker hand. They're a trio of musicians who play oldies
and country music. They're big on music from the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. As
group leader Brian Smith says of Inside Straight, “we do parties,
weddings and ship sinkings. I can't wait to hear about the last one!”
The group has played at Stagecoach Days events for the past seven years.
They have two albums on the market with their original music. Those who
like anything from the Beatles to Bachman Turner Overdrive, head out to
Dysart Park.
Friday, Sept. 29, 8:30 p.m. to midnight. Warner Express.
This band has been around for 10 years, with three of the original
members still on board. Warner Express has been a favorite at Stagecoach
Days dances. With two singers, the band turns out lots of country and
Rhythm & Blues. They play throughout the Inland Empire and Orange
County.
Saturday, Sept. 29,
3:30 to 6:30 p.m., Jerome Robinson.
If you're a fan of classic rock and roll, boogie on down to Dysart Park
to hear Jerome Robinson sing. A member of the original Platters, he
dazzles his audiences with a combination of contemporary, jazz and
country and western. A popular, regular at Paddy OíReilly's in Banning
on Friday nights, Robinson will be performing at O'Reillyís on Fridays
and Sundays beginning in late October.
Saturday, 8:30 p.m. to midnight - Tori Lynn Hartling.
While a native of Southern California, Tori Lynn Hartling was also
raised in Idaho.
Sunday, Oct. 1 4 to 7 p.m. - Emily Escalante.
According to her mom, Emily Escalante has been singing since she could
talk. Describing her style as original and smooth, Emily has been
performing in Southern California since the age of six. Emily performed
with her older sister Valentina, until Valentina opted to pursue her
college education. Emily is seeking to hone her craft in the Rhythm &
Blues Genre. Her live performances contain modern R & B and soul, with a
few modern covers from Alicia Keys and Gloria Gaynor.
Following is Bluebox, is made up of four uniquely different young men.
Schooled at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, they were able to hone
their skills in singing, songwriting and instrument playing. LA Music
Sceneís Dan Reynolds said, “my main influences are obviously the stuff
of Jamiraquai, Coldpya, Ben Folds Five, John Mayer, Radiohead, etc. Very
English, very poppy, very radio friendly. But they have also been
steeped in Jazz, Blues and other eclectic roots respectively. It is out
of these (influences) that they emerge in their own new and brilliant
blend of Pop-Rock.
All live performances will be in the Beverage Garden at Dysart Park.
There, while being entertained, you can also appreciate the
western-themed art, as presented by local artists. All food in the
beverage garden will be prepared and served by the Elegant Affair
Catering Company in Banning.
With a variety of activities, get your pre-sale tickets early. Need
