August 20 – The Bottle Blonde Quartet of 7
An eclectic mix of Latin, which includes Salsa, Rumba, Boleros, and Cha-Cha with a little bit of Broadway, some “Jungle Book” for the little ones, a touch of Torch, and even a little Country.
Wholesome family entertainment with a few gratuitous and unnecessary “Dad Jokes”
