Who’s Lightening up the Stage?
Popgun
Popgun brings together the best musicians in the Midwest to play classic hits from the 60s through the 80s. Listen to the art of the greats including Queen, The Beatles, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Led Zeppelin and more. You’ll be amazed at Popgun’s ability to cover these iconic bands and take you back to the good ole’ days.
Honey and Blue
Honey and Blue started from the undeniable chemistry between Ohio native Adam Darling and New York native Stephanie Amber. The singers/songwriters explore multiple genres with their music, creating a whole new sound that fuses pop, blues and soul.
The Ohio State University Marching Band
The Columbus Symphony and the Buckeyes marching band will join forces in a spectacular performance to celebrate the upcoming football season. Since its beginning in 1878, the OSU Marching Band has long been “the pride of the Buckeyes.” This show will make you proud to be a Buckeye!
