Matt Vee along with cousins Jeff and Tommy Vee, sons of the legendary Bobby Vee, join forces with their family and friends as The Killer Vees to celebrate the music from Neil Diamond's timeless catalog. Songs like "Cracklin' Rosie," "Song Sung Blue," and "Sweet Caroline" helped Neil Diamond sell over 100 million records worldwide. He made music that became the soundtrack to one generation after another with hits spanning five decades. "This is not a tribute show," Tommy Vee said, "This is a celebration of an amazing musical icon we all love!" The UD Choir and Julien Chamber Choir join as special guests.

Star of TV's Taxi and Who's the Boss, Tony Danza (C'72, HON'04) is making his remarkable return and celebrating his 50th class reunion at the University of Dubuque! The New York Times raves, "Tony's a live wire who tap-dances, plays the ukulele, tells stories, and radiates irresistible charm. He exudes the kind of charisma that can't be taught!" Tony Danza and his four-piece band combine timeless music with wit, charm, storytelling, and a dash of soft shoe and ukulele - performing a selection of his favorite standards from the Great American Songbook while interweaving stories about his life and personal connection to the music.

Winners of two Grammy Awards, Riders in the Sky stand hats and shoulders above the rest of the purveyors of comedy and western! For more than 30 years, they have kept the flame passed on by Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, becoming modern-day icons with their wacky humor, western wit, and cowboy way of life. Riders in the Sky pay tribute to and poke gentle fun at the classic cowboy songs of the 1930s and 1940s. The group is made up of lead singer Ranger Doug (born Douglas B. Green), Woody Paul (born Paul Chrisman) on fiddle and vocals, Too Slim (born Frederick Owen LaBour) on string bass and guitar, and, since the mid-1990s, "Cowpolka King" Joey Miskulin on accordion.
