Two nights of entertainment!

Heartsfield has toured the United States in each decade since the 1970s, having performed before nearly 10,000,000 fans at 4,500 shows at colleges and universities, fairs and festivals, clubs and bars, private parties, stadiums, and in the streets. They released their 10th album in 2008, and have sold millions of records and continue to please audiences with their brand of Americana-based Alt-Country/Southern Rock music. At any performance, Heartsfield shows are full of fun, up-tempo, foot-stompin’ music that gets the crowd involved, singin’ and dancin’ away. The band delivers on its promise of hot pickin’, strong vocals, driving rhythm, and smiles from the stage, which have allowed them to last over three decades and still continue to please audiences with their growing catalogue of hits.  Having been signed by Mercury Records and later, Columbia Records, Heartsfield has produced numerous FM radio favorites and Billboard charted records. Among them are “Music Eyes,”Shine On,” “The Only Time I’m Sober Is When You’re Gone,” “I’m Comin’ Home,” and “Racin’ the Sun. ”For over three decades, Heartsfield has been playing and recording some of the best Americana-based Alt-Country/Southern Rock music the nation has heard. One of the pioneers to span all these genres, the legend continues to grow with newer releases like “Georgia Flyer.” “Flyer” transports the music back to its roots, with a down-home Southern feel, a mixture of pickin’, grinnin’ , and soulful singin’ from a hillbilly character.  No catalog of Americana music would be complete without Heartsfield in it.”  Visit Heartsfield's website or see them on MySpace.

Well, for those of you who go way back with us, we have a real treat for you!
If you attended the Black River Music Festival in '98, you'll remember that the
Beaver Brothers blew the Ozark Mountain Daredevils off the stage!
We are proud to announce the reincarnation of the Beaver Brothers,
Kartunes, Medallion and the Elevator Band. 
They are now MR. PLOW 
Help us welcome them back to the Bearcat stage again this year with their
"GROOVIN' BEDROCK OF CLASSIC ROCK!"
Visit them on MySpace

Here's a Bearcat flashback!  For those of you who were here, you'll remember the best
drum solo in Bearcat history performed by Jimmy Brotherton, now the drummer with MR. PLOW.
In our opinion, Jimmy may be the best rock drummer on the planet!  See him live on August 15th!
