Featured County Artists
Jenny Tolman
Sweet yet sassy, vintage yet fresh, an old soul with a new vision and some incredible comedic timing, country music songstress Jenny Tolman is the breath of fresh air that the genre needs now. Having woven the incredible storyline of her life into her music thus far, Tolman has found a way to create albums which tie up all that life has handed her – both the good and the bad and the downright tragic – and makes it sound beautiful. On her new album Married in a Honky Tonk, Tolman brings a kaleidoscope of stories and emotions to the country music table with the swagger of a certified superstar.
*Married In A Honky Tonk is released March 4:
Wide Open Country says: One of the “Most Anticipated Albums of 2022”
MusicRow says: “Practically single-handedly bringing humor back into country music”
Saving Country Music says: “Mixing humor with emotion, and traditional country with a little fun, Jenny Tolman is a bright spot in country music”

Mitch Polzak
Mitch’s ability to engage, connect with and entertain an audience is something that runs deep in the family history as Mitch is a direct descendant of August Ringling of the Ringling Bros. Circus and nephew of the renowned Chicago-based jazz pianist, Peter Polzak.
Mitch Polzak plays dozens of shows a year, and is completely committed to his career path as a working musician, with the goal of taking his show to larger audiences around the world every year. The love for performing and the music shine in his energetic shows as Mitch gives each show 100 percent.
Mitch Polzak & The Royal Deuces have played in the U.S., Spain, Holland, Belgium, Germany, and the Czech Republic. He looks forward to taking his music to more parts of the world via the very popular weekly livestream shows he does “Live From The Polzak Ponderosa and Banjo Bonanza!”
Mitch Polzak has had the great fortune to work with: Scott Esbeck (original bassist of Los Straitjackets), Ken Owen, Paul Olguin (Mazzy Star), Jimmy Touzel and Timothy Orr– for the occasions that he needs them.

Rhythm & Rawhide Orchestra Conductor Jason Altieri
The orchestra will be led by symphonic legend Jason Altieri, the charismatic conductor many of us know as Director of Orchestras at the University of Nevada, Reno. Fewer of us know of Dr. Altieri’s national acclaim (Carnegie Hall, Disney, and performances in 50 states!), his international acclaim (opera houses around the globe), or his advocacy for music education and youth outreach. The alchemy of Altieri, Jenny Tolman, and Mitch Polzak, along with local musicians on a single stage is irresistible and should not be missed.
