Feature act Amy Dingler is a former rodeo clown, bullfighter, and stunt person who decided to move on to something riskier and switched to stand-up comedy. She is funny, likable, and edgy all at the same time.

On September 23 Jerzi and her band love to sing their versions of popular tunes with the unique sound of her electric ukulele. They cover songs from oldies to today’s hits as well as songs by bands that not many people have heard of. A guaranteed night of rocking out and dancing to all your favorite hits! Our versatile band plays everything from rock to pop to dance music, so there’s something for everyone. Bring your dancing shoes and don’t miss out on a great time.

Space Coast Symphony Orchestra presents American Idols on September 24 – 3pm. 1901 23rd St, Vero Beach, FL 32960

Opening this all-American program is Kevin Scott’s Fanfare G.A.F: An American Overture, a brilliant and optimistic romp for orchestra. The orchestra welcomes back Grammy winner, Kenneth Fuchs to present the Southeast U.S. Premiere of Point of Tranquility. Fuchs, a favorite of conductor Aaron Collins, is one of the world’s leading composers and has been hailed as an “exemplar of the recovery of American music.”  The work is inspired by the painting of the same name by abstract artist Morris Louis. “The coloristic freedom and shape” suggested by the painting were the inspiration from which Fuchs developed this powerful work. Celebrated pianist Alessandro de Fonseca makes his debut with your SCSO to dazzle audiences with a performance of George Gershwin’s unforgettable Variations on I Got Rhythm, brimming with youthful energy, captivating rhythms, originality, and a sense of musical exploration. Aaron and the orchestra will also perform Leonard Bernstein’s legendary Symphonic Dances from West Side Story, a lively score featuring the musical’s most memorable moments—from shouts of “Mambo!” to the wistful final chords of “Somewhere.” The concert is rounded out with Duke Ellington’s Three Black Kings, which brings together kings of old and recent history, telling the stories of Balthazar, King Solomon, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This magnificent work is a rich symphonic tapestry that weaves jazz, gospel, and classical influences together, the past and the present uniting.

Vero Beach Theatre Guild features THE ADDAMS FAMILY – THE MUSICAL, September  29 – October 15.  America’s favorite family is on the stage as they navigate challenges and unexpectedly bond in the most mysterious of ways. This ghoulish group will surprisingly touch your hearts.
