Hunterdon Harmonizers: June 30

Comprised of more than fifty men from Hunterdon and surrounding

areas, the Harmonizers have entertained audiences throughout the

county for more than twenty-two years. They have successfully

competed in Barbershop Harmony Society events as far away as

Indianapolis, Indiana. As a chorus they offer a wide variety of music

sung in a Capella and close 4- part harmony. www.njharmonizers.org.

Scott DeCarlo: July 7

With the street smarts and strength of an NJ police sergeant, and the

musicianship and voice of a country singer, Scott DeCarlo is using his

unique sound to take the country music scene into his custody.

Boasting a big voice and enormous sense of determination, this East

Rutherford native is a true showman of modern country. His kick-in-

the-door blend of country-rock is energetic, accessible, and above all,

authentic. www.scottdecarlo.com.

Full Count Big Band: July 14

The Full Count Big Band is a seventeen piece orchestra that has been

performing together for over a decade. A professional group whose

music is eclectic, not just nostalgic. Although the term “big band” is

most closely associated with its heyday of the Swing Era (1935-

1945), it is a genre that has existed from the 1920’s and continues to

this day. With a musical library of over five-thousand arrangements,

Full Count provides an eclectic mix of music ranging from the Swing

Era classics to more contemporary jazz music, latin, rhythm & blues,

funk, and rock. Regardless of the musical style, the instrumentation of

saxophones, trumpets, trombones and rhythm provides unrivaled

harmonic and rhythmic excitement. www.fullcountbigband.com.

Jim Barone Elvis Tribute: July 21

Jim Barone is an award winning Elvis tribute artist. Jim’s tribute

spans the Presley catalog keeping true to the sound, passion, and style

that encompassed Elvis as an entertainer. The result is a natural

performance, without cliché, that embodies the soulful sensuality, the

playful swagger, the humor, and the complete command of the

audience. www.jimbarone.com.

Tusk Fleetwood Mac Tribute: July 28

Tusk covers all the great hits of Fleetwood Mac. The five seasoned,

well-respected musicians comprising Tusk have been making music

together in various combinations and styles, in original outfits and in

cover bands, for over twenty-five years. It is only fitting that they

should come together to form the Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute,

and pay homage to a group that dominated the charts during the band

members’ formative years. www.fleetwoodmactribute.com.

Best of the Eagles: August 4

This group of all-stars captures the instrumental and vocal prowess of

the biggest California super group of all time! Established in 2012

with veteran musicians from central Jersey, the Best of the Eagles

play the music of the Eagles in a very true-to-form tribute show. With

six powerful vocals, outstanding harmonies and great musical accom-

paniment, the Best of the Eagles are one of the premiere tribute shows

around, guaranteed to rock the audience!!! bestoftheeagles.com.

Captain Jack Billy Joel Tribute: August 11

The Captain Jack Band is a Billy Joel Tribute band consisting of some

of the tri-state area’s top musicians. The band, in every performance,

captures the “live concert” arrangements of these timeless hits which

attracted tens of thousands to the Billy Joel concerts. Every event is

packed with all the energy, passion and interaction of a Billy Joel

concert, represented by three decades of Billy’s music in every

Captain Jack show. www.captainjacktributeband.com

Amish Outlaws: August 18

The Amish practice a tradition called "Rumspringa" (running around)

in which, at age 16, they can live free of the strict Amish code before

deciding if they want to be baptized into the Amish church.

Surprisingly, virtually all of the youths return. But sometimes they

don't. Four of the original six members of this band were born and

raised in Lancaster, PA and had a strict Amish upbringing. No

electricity from land lines, no alcohol, no musical instruments, but

their spirits were too wild for the Amish lifestyle. Once they trampled

in the Devil's Playground, there was no turning back. Since

Rumspringa, the Amish Outlaws have become well acclimated to the

pleasures and vices of the modern world... music, most of all. From

Johnny Cash, JayZ, Lady Gaga to Bon Jovi & Elvis they will enter-

tain you! www.amishoutlaws.com

transmitter. Unlike most other robots, Space Nine can walk

on rough surfaces, turn left and right, and even cross over

rocks. Campers can create a moon surface for the Space Nine

to explore. Better yet, the Space Nine Robot can dance and

be controlled by campers. Learn how the different gears

mesh and are driven by a motor. Working in small groups,

campers will also get to build other robots. Build a Sumo

wrestler, have tug-of-war events, and make these robots do

specific tasks. Robots in this portion of the workshop are not

electricity, and levitation) set a record of 345 miles/

hour. Yours won’t go that fast, but we will have fun building

it and learning how it operates. Learn about the relationship

between magnetism and electricity. Campers will also get to

build a simple maglev track as well as a cool electromagnet.

Learn how motors and generators work. Build and take home

the world’s simplest motor. Make your own compass and

take part in many other magnificent magnetic activities!

SANDY HOOK

Sunday, September 18, 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, $25

Sandy Hook is a 2,044 acre barrier beach peninsula that

offers seven miles of beach line, salt marshes, and a

maritime holly forest. The variety of coastal habitats

including sand dunes, grasslands, salt and freshwater

marshes, thickets and maritime forest offers a diverse

range of birding opportunities including shorebirds,

songbirds, and raptors. Time permitting we will stop at

other locations based on observation reports.

Bird trips are led by Tom Sheppard, Chief Park

Naturalist. Tom and his colleagues focus on helping all

participants learn about the birds, and teach them about

interesting characteristics of each species. They will

also point out other natural history information about

the locations. Please pack a lunch, as stops are not

guaranteed. If you have your own binoculars or

spotting scope, please bring them. Binoculars are also

available for loan. Trips are designed for adults, but

mature youths under 18 can contact Tom for approval.

Please dress appropriately for the weather. Transport is

by County Park vans. All trips leave from and return to

the County Arboretum. Trips are recommended for any

birder at all levels of ability, unless otherwise stated.
