Jay White, Recreates Neil Diamond Clients & critics agree that Jay White's 2009 movie debut, his appearance with Neil Diamond, plus 25 years and 8000 shows in 5 countries make him the most convincing tribute worldwide. His every movement and every sound evoke the passion and the power of "America's Classiest Rock Star". Energizing theatres, casinos, corporate events and cruise ships with a touch of class and a dash of rock-n-roll. Since 1989 Jay White has been a permanent fixture on the Las Vegas Strip, spanning 9 years with Legengs in Concert where he performed in 5014 shows. He's also successfully staged over 500 corporate and private events for most Las Vegas casinos from the Mandalay Bay to the Riviera, where he's headlined over 1200 shows, Vegas' longest running solo tribute act". http://www.americasdiamondlive.com/

Charley Jenkins Out of 45,000 contestants, Charley was one of 12 finalists on the 2008 NBC series Nashville Star. He recently released his fourth critically acclaimed album titled “Hold On” which Charley cleverly blends his western rodeo upbringing into every song that he writes and sings. Charley’s band Haywire completes the whole deal. Along with an appearance on The Today Show he and his band Haywire have shared the stage with over 30 national acts which include Leann Rhymes, Kellie Pickler, Neal McCoy, Jason Aldean, Sawyer Brown, Josh Turner, Montgomery Gentry and many others. ”Charley has upstaged every headliner we have booked. His show is entertaining: he brings every audience member into his world and gives them a show they won’t forget. Anyone who sees Charley’s show will not forget him” B.

Saliva Sisters The Saliva Sisters are an unnatural act. Who would have supposed a girl group singing parody songs about fiber, bidets, and bras would have survived, let alone flourished in Utah? Well, they have. In fact, they've become an institution. In 20-something years of melody, mirth and mucous, they have performed for groups as varied as the Western Republican Governors and the Gay Rodeo. As their performance list attests, they also get around. People who have seen them in their natural habitat import them to parties, conferences and cheap motels all over the country. http://www.salivasisters.com/

Salt Lake Scots This popular group continues to entertain and delight audiences all across Utah and the Intermountain West.

Come listen to their wonderful music as they wander through the festival. http://www.saltlakescots.org

The Soulistics Bringin' you some furious funk and the sweetest of soul classics, the Soulistics are a 10-piece band boasting some of the best musicians in the Intermountain West. This flashy, in-your-face show is no mere cover band. We take the best funk, R&B and soul tunes ever and tear into them with fierce style, and a sound hailing back to those shadows of Motown. We are proud to pay respect to this devilishly good music by giving you a full-scale show to remember. If you want the funk, we've got the goods. http://www.thesoulistics.net/
