Featuring a rotating cast of members, The Dillos core group consists of Paul Diethelm on guitar, Jay O'Donnell on drums, Mike Zeleny on bass guitar, and Greg Armstrong on keys. Their chemistry is undeniable. During our 22-23 season, this brand new theme was one of the best received shows we have EVER done! So, by request... we are bringing it back with many more acoustic-based songs! We aren't going unplugged, but we are playing songs whose foundation was built from acoustic guitars and acoustic instruments. Songs from groups like America, Gordon Lightfoot, Eagles, James Taylor, Jim Croce, Crosby Stills and Nash, Simon and Garfunkel and Tom Petty all made this sound popular, but groups like Heart, Kansas, Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, Bon Jovi and Led Zeppelin also had songs that were driven by acoustic guitars. We will take you "all over the map" musically for another round of Acoustic-I-Dillos with Acoustic-I-Dillos 2 - Acoustic Inspired Hits Over The Decades.
