This folk-rock act blends lush vocals, intricate guitar playing and iconic story songs into a sound that’s both intimate and powerful. This special Spring edition features songs like “Rainy Day People” by Gordon Lightfoot, “Morning Has Broken” by Cat Stevens, and “Taxi” by Harry Chapin. It’s a carefully crafted presentation of the timeless songs that shaped a generation — performed with heart, humor, and resonance.
In addition: Tom is now officially endorsed by Gibson Guitars and John Pearse Strings, legendary names in acoustic tone.

CONSTELLATIONS
Friday July 24th, 2026

One relationship. Infinite possibilities.
Through multiple universes, timelines and realities, Constellations follows Marianne and Roland, a theoretical physicist and a beekeeper, in all the iterations of how their fateful relationship may have gone.
This show is equal parts hilarious, heartwarming, and devastating and is an extremely moving 70 minutes of theatre. It is a love letter to people who have lost sight of optimism, hope and meaning in their daily lives.
BEE GEES REVISITED
Tuesday October 20, 2026
7:30pm
Tickets $55 (plus service fees)
VaughnCo Entertainment is proud to present the most outstanding Bee Gees Tribute show. Bee Gees Revisited is the ultimate tribute to the Bee Gees. Come and experience the sound, the harmonies, and the beautiful falsetto voices of the brothers Gibb. Performing with a full band the show recreates the Bee Gees 1998 Las Vegas appearance live.
The costumes, the music, and the atmosphere is as close to the real thing as you can get. The show suspends belief as it weaves through hit after hit from their classic 60’s catalogue to the groove of their 70’s Disco era hits that made the band a world-wide sensation. Dance and sing along to hits like Staying Alive, Night Fever, Massachusetts, Tragedy, You Should Be Dancing, and Nights on Broadway.
