Part Time Party Time Band - 6PM - 10PM
Adult Beverage Garden available (tickets are on sale for $3 each - 4 beer maximum)

The Part Time Party Time Band has a great R & B / Blues sound that is exactly what the name implies. They have a solid 70s/80s Soul feel that reminds me of of the Temptations, Four Tops, and even the Blues Brothers. These songs are the kind that make you want to get up and dance. They play live with nine guys playing trumpets, saxaphone, trombone, piano, guitar, bass and drums. Add to that some real heartfelt soulfull vocals. This is real music played by real musicians (no syntheszers or sequencers) and it don't get much better than this
