July 11 – Don Campbell Trio – back from 2009!
A fiddle and a bass guitar mix with Don’s smooth vocals to provide toe-tapping country music.  The group
will play a blend of old and new favorites to keep you smiling, singing and dancing along.  Don was named
Maine’s best Singer-Songwriter by the Maine Sunday Telegram, and has opened for Willie Nelson, Carrie Underwood and Kenny Rogers!
July 18 – Four Guys in Tuxes – new for 2012!
They’ve been at every town around us so we invited them to Wilmington!  Enjoy listening or dancing (or both!)
to all kinds of music from swing to society to classic rock!
July 25 – Peking and the Mystics – back from 2010!
This a cappella group was formed by alumni of the Tufts University Beelzebub’s.  They feature vintage vocals
from such genres as swing, jazz, doo wop and pop, representing every decade from the 1920s to the 1990s.      
August 1 – Mark Shelton – back from 2011!
Our travelers returning from the Beacon Resort requested that we book Mark!  He sings the old classics as
well as Irish sing-along ballads.  Shut your eyes and you’ll be convinced that Elvis is in Wilmington!
