The Dixiecats

The party starts outside…
The driving, swinging beat of The Jim Laushey Dixiecats will provide your musical welcome to the Green and White Ball. As you arrive at the Green and White entrance of the party, the sights and sounds will set the tone for a great evening of fun, food, cocktails, and gala events. The Jim Laushey Orchestra takes on the aura of an old fashioned Red Garter pep band that will have guests dancing their way through the doors to join the full swing of the party inside.

The Funsters

The Funsters will be featured on stage in the Green and White Ball Room for your listening and dancing pleasure. Guests can dance to the sounds of classic rock n’ roll songs on the special dance floor that has been installed for the occasion.

It would be hard to find a band that generates more fun than The Funsters. That is why they are still entertaining thousands of people after 12 years of playing together. In this ten-piece band there has not been one personnel change in twelve years. That tells the whole story of the secret of The Funsters' success. Not only are these guys great musicians who share a pride in each other's musical abilities, but they are also friends. This spirit and camaraderie on stage is what sets The Funsters apart from other bands offering the same type of musical entertainment.

Raymond Charles and the Caribbean Authentics

Guests will think that they are in the islands when the steel drums begin to play in the Caribbean Room. The combination of vocals, steel drums, and keyboard provides the authentic island sounds that make the Caribbean Islands a party paradise. “Hey, Mon, welcome to the Green and White Ball.”

The Creative Jazz Ensemble

The talented group is inspired by jazz and R&B rhythms reminiscent of the sounds from the 70’s and 80’s and will be a perfect fit for the New Orleans room at the Ball. The Creative Jazz Ensemble has performed for countless audiences in the United States and even traveled to Europe to play their signature jazz with that Bourbon Street feel. It doesn’t have to be Fat Tuesday to enjoy energetic and creative jazz music.

Sergio and Francesco

Whether it is the Wilmington Italian Festival or an authentic Tuscan celebration, these two popular entertainers will make you think that you are sitting in Villa d’ Roma, when you are actually enjoying our Italian Room with all of the décor of Roma. The versatility of village folk music and classical Italian Romantica will ensure an authentic entertainment experience that you will not want to miss.

Maya Mariachi

Nothing is more fun than the energy of a Mariachi band at a party. The Maya Mariachis are famous for their high-spirited Mexican music with their signature trumpets and guitars. The Maya perform up and down the East coast and you will not want to miss the fun at the Gala in the Southwest Room. Feel welcome to sing along if you know the words.

Fisher and Maher

We have found the perfect group to bring our Irish Pub to life with the authentic sounds of the Emerald Isle. They will make you think that you are back on the old sod with their toe tapping melodies. This duet, headquartered in County Philadelphia, has been providing entertainment throughout the Philadelphia area for over 30 years with their unique adaptation of traditional Irish music. Although the music has its Irish roots, don't let the word traditional fool you; their performance is anything but traditional.

They have performed along the East Coast with shows that have included Hal Roach and many others. With an emphasis on audience participation, Danny Fisher and Andy Maher gear their presentation toward getting the crowd up singing and stomping their feet.

Snow Shen

The Asian Community has known for years that Snow Shen is an accomplished versatile musician. Now she will team up with Yinji Cui to provide the perfect combination for your enjoyment in the Asian Room. Guests will enjoy their culinary treats in a classic musical environment that will keep the crowd well entertained.
