FRIDAY, JULY 25th - North Cove Stage

Black Velvet4 is a band of experienced and talented musicians: CHRISTY WHEELER/Lead; Vocals/Keyboards/Rhythm Guitar; ROGER K. WHEELER/Lead Guitar/Vocals; MARTIN RUSH/Bass Guitar/Vocals; BRAD STOLL/Drums Black Velvet4 performs quality dance tunes with great vocal harmony and musical flair.

Their main focus is Classic Rock and Blues yet they can cover many styles of music. Roger's guitar playing is among the finest in the Northwest. Christy's soulful singing has excited audiences everywhere and her unique keyboard style adds to it. Martin's vocals and colorful bass playing are wonderful. Brad locks it all together with a smooth solid beat and a smile.


Headlining Aquafest’s Friday Family Night entertainment is Brothers from Different Mothers. The Brothers received rave reviews on the hit television show America’s Got Talent and were recently voted Seattle’s Funniest Prop Comics and are also proud Guinness World Record Holders.

They have been featured in countless magazines and newspapers, and on numerous USO tours performing overseas for our troops. They have been performing their high-energy comedy juggling show since 1999. Their show has been seen across the world at theatres, corporate events, colleges, fairs and cruise ships.

They perform at over 200 events a year including their own variety show entitled "All 4 Limbs". Matt Baker was born in Eugene Oregon and was destined to become a professional athlete. Playing sports year round and excelling at high levels, Matt quickly became disinterested in the competitive spirit of conventional sports and began playing a sport called Footbag or Hacky Sack.

Alex Zerbe was born in Seattle Washington in the eccentric neighborhood of Capital Hill. Unlike his older brother Matt, who excelled at athletics, Alex took a non-tradition route in his interests and became fascinated with the game of chess. Alex competed at the highest level of youth chess in the country claiming 3 regional titles but stopped playing entirely after a stunning loss to the 8-year-old Russian prodigy Vladimir Plavenkov.


Aquafest 2008 Presents: "Movies in the Park", where a featured family film will be shown at the North Cove Park.
Bring a blanket with your family and have a great time! Title of movie will be announced soon.

With three lead vocalists, N'Sane plays a mix of 70's, 80's, 90's, modern rock, R&B and even a little country.
