The Algoa Boys band formed in February of 2008 on the basis of everyone having a great time.  That means everybody, the band, the crowd, and the staff.  A careful song selection and years of experience create the perfect setting for any occasion.  From AC/DC to ZZTop, the Algoa Boys hook their audience covering Journey, Skynrd, Styx, Van Halen and Zeppelin. Jay Willmeno:  Bass Guitar and Vocals, Robert Wiggin: Drums and Vocals, Jobe: Guitar and Vocals. These guys play a touch of blues, plus a few songs of they're own, they've got something for everybody.

Missouri Timepiece Band

The Missouri Timepiece Band formed on Independence Day 2000, playing gigs throughout Missouri. They started out calling themselves the "Timepiece Band," but after so many inquiries about where they were from, they  later added Missouri to their title. Timepiece members – Robert Welch and Mike "Goz" Goslin of Mexico, and Carroll Ray Dollens of Thompson – entertained the audience with a variety of classic rock tunes, including some of their own original hits. “We play an assortment of our original tunes and covers that sound original because we play them our way.” In addition to their live performances, Timepiece also does humanitarian work with the Biker for Babies campaign, and supports efforts for U.S. troops.
