Scheduled to Perform

Dawson & Tolliver
5 to 6:30 p.m.
Gary Dawson and Daniel Tolliver form the classic country duo of Dawson and Tolliver. If you have a hankering for country tunes from the past, this pair will satisfy that need. Dawson, a Memphis native, has been influenced by the greats, including Mickey Newbury and George Strait. Since March of 2022, he and his son, Colton, formed Arizona’s father-son duo – Dawson Acoustic. After thee years and more than 400 gigs, Colton moved to Nashville, allowing Dawson to play music with his friend and fellow musician, Tolliver. Tolliver has always leaned into his musical influences, like George Jones and Merle Haggard, so at 18 he began playing in bars and honky-tonks across Arizona. He originally was lead singer and rhythm guitarist for the band Daniel Tolliver and the Travelers, before shifting to duets with his pal Dawson.

Thaddeus Rose Band
7 to 8:30 p.m.
Thaddeus Rose Band is a variety band that has mesmerized audiences for the past 20 years. Offering the best dance and rock hits of all times, the Thaddeus Rose Band brings a highenergy performance like no other.
