Glen Campbell
Becoming a bonafide living legend isn’t as easy as Glen Campbell makes it look. First, you have to have a solid foundation of talent on which to build — like being one of the hottest guitar players in the world. Then, you have to record songs that will stand the test of time — standards such as “By The Time I Get To Phoenix”, “Rhinestone Cowboy”, “Southern Nights” and “Wichita Lineman”. And of course, to be a “living” legend, you need to survive the harsh reality of a celebrity lifestyle. Check, check, and check. It certainly doesn’t hurt to have a witty, bantering stage style that draws fans like college students to Daytona Beach, or a hit television show viewed by 50 million people every week for three years. When you put it all together, the result is a career that spans forty-five years and fans that cross generational and international lines. In other words: Glen Campbell.
Glen’s accolades as a musician and singer are as impressive as his talent. He made history by winning a Grammy in both country and pop categories in 1967: “Gentle On My Mind” snatched the country honors and “By The Time I Get To Phoenix” won in pop. He owns trophies for Male Vocalist of the Year from both the CMA and the ACM, and he took the CMA’s top honor as Entertainer of the Year. In 2005, Glen was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In 1999, he won the coveted ACM Pioneer Award for “outstanding and unprecedented achievements in the field of country music.” During his 45 years in show business, Glen has released more than 70 albums. He has sold 45 million records and racked up twelve RIAA Gold albums, four Platinum albums and one Double-Platinum album. Of his 75 trips up the charts, 27 landed in the Top 10.

Bill Cosby
Bill Cosby is, by any standards, one of the most influential stars in America today. Whether it be through concert appearances or recordings, television or films, commercials or education, Bill Cosby has the ability to touch people’s lives. His humor often centers on the basic cornerstones of our existence, seeking to provide an insight into our roles as parents, children, family members, and men and women. Without resorting to gimmickry or lowbrow humor, Bill Cosby’s comedy has a point of reference and respect for the trappings and traditions of the great American humorists such as Mark Twain, Buster Keaton and Jonathan Winters.
Cosby’s I Spy role as co-star broke the racial barrier of a dramatic television series. Before the series ended, he had won three Emmy Awards. The 1984-92 run of the Emmy and Golden Globe winning The Cosby Show and his books Fatherhood and Time Flies established new benchmarks on how success is measured. In addition, Cosby has earned five Grammy Awards for best comedy album. Nine of his albums have been certified Gold Records and six have been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His lifelong contributions to American culture were recognized with a Kennedy Center Honor in 1998 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in July 2002, America’s highest civilian honor. Cosby is the 2009 recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and Major League Baseball’s Beacon of Hope Award for his civil rights work.
Bill Cosby represents the voice of a vast, ordinary world. Everyone seems to easily identify with his characters and the situations they find themselves in. He gives the twist of the ridiculous to everyday faults, foibles and successes and makes them a recognizable slice of life. Bill Cosby points out the humor in our lives, and in doing so, he touches our hearts.

Gallagher
Gallagher began honing his comedy act while hanging out at both the Comedy Store and the Ice House. As his audience grew, Gallagher became most noted for wielding his trademark Sledge-O-Matic. He showered his audience with the pulverized remains of watermelons, apples, oranges, lettuce, cottage cheese, and pound cakes. Show goers turn up already “Gallagherized”: wearing plastic raincoats, goggles, sunglasses, and refer to the front of the theatre as “Death Row”.
Gallagher has the distinction of being the first real star to come out of cable television. To date he has done sixteen specials: Uncensored Evening, Mad as Hell, Too Real, Totally New, That's Stupid, Stuck in the 60s, The Maddest, Melon Crazy, The Bookkeeper, Over Your Head, The Messiest of Overboard, The Leap Year Marathon, We Need a Hero, Smashing Cheeseheads, and the most recent Sledge-O-Matic.com.
A Gallagher concert is an unforgettable experience. He is a keen and original observer of human nature and the American scene. "My humor makes people think," Gallagher says. "I want people to look more closely at this country and their lives to see the humor and absurdity in it all …I don't have to make it up, the truth is funny enough."

Rick Springfield
There’s something about Rick Springfield that is and always has been very real. His songs about love and loss, greed and envy, elation and heartbreak spoke to that part of human nature that hasn’t changed in 3,000 years. They still do.
In 1981, in the midst of recording what would become the quintessential pop/rock album Working Class Dog, Rick was cast to the play the young, eligible Dr. Noah Drake on the popular daytime drama “General Hospital.” That same year, Rick skyrocketed to the top of Billboard’s charts with “Jessie’s Girl” and “I’ve Done Everything For You”. The following year, he won a Grammy for “Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.”
In 1982, Rick followed the success of Working Class Dog with Success Hasn’t Spoiled Me Yet. The album contained a string of top-40 hits, including “Don’t Talk To Strangers” which charted at #2. He was also nominated for a second Grammy and in 1983 was nominated for a third, in addition to garnering an American Music Award.
To date, Rick Springfield has sold over 19 million records with a whopping 17 top 40 hits. He has performed for millions of devoted fans over the last three decades and continues to play over 100 shows a year. Springfield attracts new fans wherever he goes with his unique brand of audience interaction, unstoppable energy, and unforgettable songs that have become part of the soundtrack to people’s lives.
