picked up a sense of music being where her heart felt the most comfortable. Through
grade school, April played in concert band and honors jazz band, excelling at flute, alto
saxophone, and guitar. April continues to excel with any stringed instrument, including
mandolin, banjo and even non-stringed, such as piano. Her love for energetic, spirited
country music has always been heavily influenced by some of her favorite artists

songs from his top selling albums. The band recreates a Kenny Chesney show, playing the

the country. The show is guaranteed to engage any size crowd, bringing them to their feet
