The concert will feature Tom Sauer performing Beethoven's Emperor Concerto.

Dine on cuisine including Cedar Plank Striped Bass and Black Angus Beef Filet from Bix Bistro while you sip on highlighted scotch. Winners of the 2008 International Blues Challenge will perform at the River Music Experience tomorrow night! See what makes Trampled Under Foot a blues band that's incomparable to the rest.
