Several earlier releases, penned by guitarist Kenton "Red" Catlett, reached No. 1 on the RMR charts thanks to a resurgence in radio airplay.

The A’Cappella Kinda Guys • Gazebo Stage
The A’Cappella Kinda Guys is made up of Jim Vanvleet, Chuck O’Donnell, Jeff Welch, and Dennis Tice. The group was formed in California back in 1987 while the members were in the Air Force. “We formed a group just for a talent show,” says Tice. “We won the talent show, went on eventually to the SAC, the Strategic Air Command, and won that and we won the Air Force talent show…we thought it was hilarious,” laughed Tice.
They have known each other for over 35 years and only see each other about once a year for just four or five days at a time. During that time, they perform and write original songs about people in Bedford County and the surrounding areas. They sing covers and originals, harmonizing like old friends and bringing smiles to all who hear them.
