The Entertainment

Startz and Endz
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC 8:00 PM

Borne out of the farmlands and open prairies of the northern Great Plains with roots deep in American country and southern rock, Startz and Endz are making a big noise in small towns across the MidWest. A roadhouse band if there ever was one they know exactly how to get the party started and keep it going all night with high energy renditions of songs from classic artists like Tom Petty, Brooks and Dunn, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Johnny Cash, Lynard Skynard, Sublime, the Talking Heads and more. But it is their original works that keep fans coming back. Drawing influences from musicians and cultures around the world the songs are like leaves of paper in a well worn journal. There is familiarity with the stories and the music instantaneously, as listeners can see themselves in the story tellers well worn shoes.
