The Barns at Wolf Trap Begins Its 2009 Fall Season With Will Hoge 10/8

Debuting at The Barns at Wolf Trap in a return to the stage after a nearly fatal scooter accident in 2008, Will Hoge has re-emerged with a new studio release rife with raw emotion and musings about the fragility of life. Aptly titled, The Wreckage, the record was introduced to the world this past weekend on CBS Saturday Morning, where Hoge and band performed an energetic rendition of lead single, "Even if It Breaks Your Heart."

Hailed as a throwback to the classic American rock 'n' roll style, Hogeis highly regarded in the cut throat performance community of Nashville, whose gritty, Americana style is often compared to that of Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty. Wolf Trap is thrilled to host Will Hoge as our inaugural Barns show for 2009.

The Amazing Kreskin returns to The Barns at Wolf Trap for a performance that features a combination of impressive deductive abilities, mind bending illusions, comedic sensibility, and heavy audience participation. Known as the world's foremost mentalist, The Amazing Kreskin has been a student of psychological clinical studies since elementary school, and has become a household name as a result of his abilities of intuition and persuasion.

He is currently working on his 14th book after publishing 2006's Mental Power is Real: How to Really Achieve Happiness, Fulfillment, and Success. He has predicted major events throughout the past decade includingthe Yankee's against-all-odds defeat at the 2001 World Series, and has aided in a number of missing persons cases. After many great predictions, a Newsweek columnist dubbed The Amazing Kreskin as "America's flesh and blood Magic 8-ball."

After a chance meeting in 1987 at a guitar seminar, Bert Lams, Paul Richards, and Hideyo Moriya melded their three distinct playing styles to form the internationally renowned, California Guitar Trio. An uncharacteristic blend of classical picking, surf-guitar, and rock/blues emanates from the trio, injecting new life into classic covers "Bohemian Rhapsody," (Queen) and "Echoes" (Pink Floyd,) and contemporary renditions of such classics as Bach's "Toccato and Fugue." Their latest release, Echoes (2008), showcases tremendous range, with renditions of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird" and Beethoven's "Pastorale Symphony."
