Saturday Live Band

Borrowed Time - 5:00pm

The Borrowed Time Band was formed in 2001 to entertain the masses with classic and modern rock! They pack every venue they play with fans who dance the night away. This is a band that people come to watch for the whole night because of the great variety of music they play, the stage dress and last but not least, the incredible showmanship! These guys play everything from night-clubs and private parties to festivals and other larger events! The Borrowed Time Band was recently awarded the Grand Champion trophy in 92.3 the Fort's Battle of the Bands competition as best all around rock band in Fort Wayne!

Sunday Live Band

Jordan Ross - 5:00pm

From the beginning, Jordan Ross was conceived in love to play music. As a boy, he mastered the craft of piano. As an older lad he decided guitar was his Excalibur of choice. As a student of his classic rock heritage in the rural countryside, Jordan used his area, Rockford, OH, as a place of not only identification and residence, but as a stepping-stone into the great wide open. As a newcomer to the solo acoustic scene in Hilton Head, SC, he roped in 4-6 shows a week after the first month. After meeting numerous people that would later become lifelong friends and honing his art of musical performance, he headed back to his home area to do two things: give the people exactly what they wanted, then build an army of followers. They want entertainment that can be portable, durable, and crowd-pleasing. Jordan Ross is exactly that.

Sunday Live Band

Country Mile - 9:00pm


Every artist has a story and in this case, Country Mile's reputation is impeccable. Beginning in the local Clubs, Country Mile's original music and showmanship allowed them to maneuver quickly up the ladder locally and nationally as an "IN DEMAND" group becoming Nashville Recording Artist recording their fourth CD "Unhinged" in Nashville, TN. Country Mile became the #1 indie country band in Ohio on MySpace.com for 2006. CM has five members whose talent is only surpassed by their drive to share music with the world. Currently headlining major fairs/festivals, and opening for national acts such as Travis Tritt, Sugarland, Jason Aldean, Little Texas, Lonestar, Ricochet, Confederate Railroad, Phil Vasser, Chris Ledoux, Daryle Singletary, Jeff Bates and Keith Anderson. Also CM has played Great American Ballpark before the Cincinnati Reds.

Country Mile is definitely a modern country act that you want to catch now!

Country Mile, stemming from NW Ohio, is an original, modern country group who is rocking the entertainment industry. With explosive, interactive and impulsive live concerts, Country Mile is entertainment in its finest form.

Looking for a comparison? Take Tim McGraw, The Eagles and Keith Urban and place them in a blender. The end result... Country Mile.

With Front Man and BMI Professional Songwriter, Curt Cramer, every show is a combination of tantalizing, boot-stomping fun mixed with lyrically incredible ballads that pull on every heartstring. Cramer's vocal talent mixed with Travis Johnson (Guitar and Mandolin and Guitar), Musicians Institute (Hollywood CA) Graduate Jamie Regedanz (Guitar, Backing Vocals),Chris Cramer (Bass, Backing Vocals) and Dean Zehringer (percussion).

Backed by National Sponsors like Jagermeister (www.jagermusic.com), Miller Lite (www.millerlite.com) as well as local sponsors, Country Mile has broken into the market with raw and pure talent. They took 1st place at the National Keeping It Country Competition in 2004. They also took 1st place in the Nashville sponsored Colgate Country showdown in Fort Wayne, IN. Also CM was the backing band for the Country Star Playoffs Sponsored by T102 (Lima, OH).

Country Mile has written and recorded 4 original albums: Unhinged (2007) - Drive On (2005) - Lessons (2004) - A Day Like This (2003)

Country Mile, under the Mile High Record Label, has released 2 singles nationally and internationally. "Friday Night," released April 2005, received heavy airplay for 3 consecutive months allowing the single to break into the independent charts. The follow-up single, "Just Another Day," released July 2005. A video was shot for "Just Another Day" in the Spring of 2006. Previous singles, such as "The Trip" and "I Don't Even Know Me Anymore," were on the charts in Europe and in Australia. The new CD "Unhinged", recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, was released in April 2007, promises to carry the shining torch the others before have.

"The future of Country Music!" - Dave Schmidt, Super Top 10 Country

"A style reminiscent of Diamond Rio, Alabama and Rascal Flatts mixed. They have two great things going for them - young and talented. Tight harmonies and great songwriting make them something special." -Jim Edwards, Clear Channel Radio

"I was impressed by the production of the disc [Lessons] but most of all the depth of the lyrical content...Young and gifted." -Kerry Peterson, Country Weekly Magazine

"The music of Country Mile is incredible and very accomplished. The voice of Curt is perfect and very pleasant. "Just Another Day" is "THE" song for concerts or shows, WOW!!" -Agnes Pinson, Strait France Radio

"Right down the pike of where Country is at these days. And even a bit more daring in its extra level of lyrical honesty. Curt, if the song "Two Lane Road" is indication of your writing overall, you're able to compete even at the TOP SHELF LEVEL of Country pitches."
