Lakeside

Chart Topping R&B Icons

Ohio native Mark Woods forms the nucleus of Lakeside, one of R &B’s most enduring and successful bands. Originally named the Lakeside Express, the band transported from Dayton, Ohio to Los Angeles where they performed at local events and venues including the legendary Maverick Flats. While in Los Angeles, Lakeside inked deals with Motown and ABC Records but found no success. Eventually, they found success when they signed with Solar Records with their first Top Ten hit on Solar Records, “It’s All the Way Live,” which peaked at number four on the Billboard R&B charts.

Lakeside released a host of songs that scaled the R&B charts but hit platinum with the release of their smash hit, “Fantastic Voyage,” which was produced by the band. The song would become a hit a second time with a remake by Coolio. They followed the success of “Fantastic Voyage” with another Top Ten R&B single, a remake of the Paul McCartney and John Lennon classic “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” The group continued their success with the Billboard Top Ten singles “Raid,” “Outrageous,” and a string of R&B party songs and ballads.

Brad Johnson

and the Killin’ Time Band

Brad Johnson started the band in 1998 on the U.S.S. Tarawa in the Middle East. At the time, he was
serving in the United States Marine Corps. He and the band were just Killin’; Time until they got to go
home. Since then, they’ve had the pleasure of opening for and performing with the country music’s
biggest stars. Johnson has shared the stage with Merle Haggard, Keith Urban Toby Keith, Chris Ledoux,
Tracy Byrd, Rascal Flatts, John Michael Montgomery, Montgomery Gentry, Jason Aldean, Gary Allen and
the Bellamy Brothers to name a few. He and the band had the Honor to play on the start and finish
lines for many NASCAR races. Brad’s music has been played on radio stations throughout the US and
around the World.

Paul Chesne Band

The Paul Chesne band makes going to the festival worth the drive. His music has people dancing to memorable Country riffs with a good time vibe. Singer, songwriter and guitarist, Chense welds together country, rock, folk and more.

He has written over 200 songs and released 5 full length albums and an EP featuring (here comes some name dropping) performers such as Dave Roe (Johnny Cash, Dwight Yoakam, Louvin Brothers), Mitch Marine (Smash Mouth, Dwight Yoakam, Tripping Daisy), Kenny Vaughan (Marty Stuart, Lana Del Rey, Ray Lamontagne), Keith Gattis (Dwight Yoakam, Kenny Chesney), Skip Edwards (Dwight Yoakam, Keith Richards, Norah Jones, Lucinda Williams), The Webb Sisters (Leonard Cohen), Kenny Vaughan, Elvis Perkins and Willie Chambers of The Chambers Brothers.  Never far away from the whimsical or relevant themes, the band can be described as Johnny Cash meets Dr. Dre.
