   Help us celebrate summer in White Oak. This should will be another fun weekend for all. We have three great bands and other entertainment. There will be our usual offering and some other new additions this year...




Our featured bands this year include these area favorites. The bands are only part of the action so be sure to come and experience the entire event. Don’t miss out!


Friday night
we welcome a new band to our stage!  Cassette Junkies are a fun party band that brings you all the best hits from the 80’s and late 70’s. They play anything from classic rock to disco and everything in between. I can’t wait for the music mash-ups they like to call “mix tapes”. If we’re lucky, we’ll hear a bit old fashion fiddling in the mix! Playing 7:00–11:00 pm! For a preview of what they do, click the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsU14gB6TOw. Be sure to check them out Friday night!


Saturday night we present the return of a premier Cincinnati-based cover band bringing you the sights & sounds of the most popular feel-good hits from the 1980s to today.  Abe’s Lincoln has combined their music with visual projection that differentiates them from other cover bands. The quality of the performance, and execution of the songs, create a top-notch visual spectacle. Band member, Brad Boerger, a former parishioner and the son of Jim and Carol Boerger, is also a seasoned musician who adds guitar as well as bass. Playing 7:00–11:00 pm!


Sunday: The Remains, returning for the third year, have been providing high quality musical entertainment for 30+ years! The band was formed in 1987 by a group of Cincinnati based musicians determined to take their public and private performances to a higher level with their own unique vocal blend and dedication to musical excellence. Also, by playing very well-known pop and rock tunes. They are specialists when it comes to getting a crowd singing along and dancing at their performances. They will keep you hoping all night! Lou, the drummer, graduated from St. James! Playing 5:15-9:15 pm.


In the Beer Garden:    Acoustic Sounds
                     Friday: OE Lite-Jim Klosterman & Zach Long (LaSalle Class of 94).            Members of:  Spin Cycle Flange & Only Everything
                  Acoustic Rock Covers from 70’s, 80’s & 90’s

Saturday, Johnny Sterwerf & Rhylee 5:30-7:30 Johnny and his lovely daughter Rhylee will     serenade us with their beautiful voices. Don’t miss their return this year!  The complementary        music  will be performing prior to each nights feature band and during their breaks.
