The event welcomes individuals of all ages and backgrounds, fostering a welcoming atmosphere for everyone.

Cliff and Susan Prowse bring a rich tapestry of experiences to their music. Both hailing from Arkansas, they met on stage in Little Rock in 2016, sparking an immediate musical connection that led to their marriage in Las Vegas in 2017. As full-time musicians, they traverse the globe performing at festivals, venues, and private events. Beyond their performances, the duo dedicates time to nurturing aspiring artists through their Entertainers Academy workshops. Their inspiration stems from their adventures, the people they encounter, and the beauty inherent in everyday life.

Their journey into the world of music began in their teenage years, with both engaging in creative writing. Susan was drawn to free verse, while Cliff's melodies evolved into meaningful lyrics. Together, they craft songs centered around themes of travel, transformation, and storytelling, reflecting the joys and challenges of their lives as professional musicians. Their debut album, "Fiddle & Keys," achieved notable success, charting in the Top 40 on the U.S. iTunes Country Albums Chart. They have also garnered multiple nominations at prestigious music awards, showcasing their significant impact on the music scene.

Music serves as a universal language, bridging gaps between diverse communities. Cliff and Susan Prowse exemplify this belief through their commitment to collaboration and healing through art.

With over three decades of uninterrupted gatherings, this series stands as a testament to the enduring power of creativity and community.
