Deano Graham & The Grass Wagon Revival

Learning to harmonize while listening to records on the family stereo system was only the beginning. Passing out the songbooks at church to line up and sing in “the choir” was a golden opportunity for a youngster. Influenced by various genres in the 70s was free musical education for this Mississippi boy. Whether it was congregational singing, a traveling gospel bluegrass group at church, all-night southern gospel singing, contemporary Christian bands, black gospel choirs, or the opportunity to study classical music in college, it has all led to this — a return to his roots. Deano Graham and The Grass Wagon Revival will be performing in the Publix Showcase Tent on Monday, March 4 at 6 p.m.

Khalea Lynee’

Khalea Lynee’ is a singer, songwriter, and performer with a “spiritual connection” to music. Attributing her grassroots beginning in the church and the strict upbringing of her mother, a pastor, Khalea brilliantly showcases her soulful, jazzy vibe influenced by her gospel roots which have helped mold her into the artist she is today. After capturing the national stage on NBC’s Season 17 of “The Voice,” Khalea Lynee’ won all four chairs in her blind audition with her powerful and passionate rendition of “Best Part.” Representing Team Legend, led by singer-songwriter John Legend, throughout the competition, the judges described her talent as magical, polished, versatile, and one of the more gifted talents of that season. Khalea Lynee’ will be performing in the Publix Showcase Tent on Thursday, March 7 at 6 p.m.

KidBuck$ Game $how

Kidbuck$ Game $how is a thrilling game show where randomly selected members of the audience, participate in wild and crazy games.

The grand champion enters the Kidbuck$ chamber and grabs as many “Kidbuck$” as possible, as they swirl about the chamber. The bucks are tallied and redeemed for a prize based on how many bucks are collected. KidBuck$ Game $how will be performing near Kiddie Korral daily at 11:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. and 7 p.m. Friday through Sunday and is sponsored by Vision Auto Glass.
