The Johnny Holm Band

9:00 PM - 12:00 AM

The Johnny Holm Band, sponsored by AARP, will take the stage as the headline act when riders stay overnight on July 23. Johnny Holm is the most entertaining entertainer performing today. The show is dedicated to the fans, and they do most of the entertaining. Mostly impromptu, the show moves with the speed of lightning and changes direction as soon as "the pied piper" notices a lag. "Never a dull moment" was never a more true description. Surrounding himself with the finest musicians in the Midwest, the band rocks, picks, and thunders along for 3-4 hours, almost non-stop from the first song to the last laugh.

“The Johnny Holm Band is the ultimate entertainer in the Midwest,” says Ryan Odor, Executive Committee Chair. “He’s performed here in 2007 and we knew we wanted him to be part of our event again  this year.”
