This company has proven its worth as a headliner, show opener, and grounds act; performing at nearly every type of event and venue: from fairs & festivals to amusement parks & haunted attractions, tattoo shows & biker rallies, theaters & nightclubs, colleges & universities, concerts, historical events, private parties, public spectacles, corporate events, trade shows, and more!
