<h3>A Tribute to Dolly Parton</h3>
Dolly Parton was a huge inspiration over the years and PEEKS! cannot wait to finally pay tribute to Dolly in this way.&nbsp;
Singer, Songwriter, and Artist PEEKS! is a musician from PA, with a passion for storytelling and human connection through art. With dozens of notebooks of melodies and poems, she has a countless repertoire of original pieces.&nbsp;
She has been self producing her own work since she was 18, building a fanbase on social media and in her town playing local venues.&nbsp;
Dylan Wilson is an 11-year-old pop-country singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Pennsylvania, blending genuine acoustic storytelling with anthemic, sparkling pop hooks. Known for commanding the stage across marathon three-hour festival sets, Dylan has shared bills opening for national acts including Kylie Morgan, Ellis Paul, and Claudia Hoyser.&nbsp;
Her debut single, "Be You," established her as an artist to watch—earning international recognition as a Teen Category Semi-Finalist in the 2026 Unsigned Only Music Competition. Dylan was also named a Semi-Finalist in the 2026 Whitefish Songwriter Festival (Youth Division) and selected as one of just 15 young artists nationwide (ages 10–20) for the prestigious Master Musicians Festival Young Songwriters Retreat in Somerset, Kentucky.
Praised early on by world-renowned vocal coach Cheryl Porter as a "rising star," Dylan pairs raw vocal emotion with an instinctive knack for melody beyond her years. Whether delivering dynamic full-band arrangements or stripped-down acoustic performances, she connects directly with audiences through messages of authenticity, heart, and undeniable energy.Advance Discount General Admission Seating, $20.

<h3>John Gorka</h3>
From New Jersey, John Gorka is a world-renowned singer-songwriter who got his start in the late 1970’s at a neighborhood coffeehouse in eastern Pennsylvania. Although his academic coursework at Moravian College lay in Philosophy and History, music began to offer paramount enticements. Soon he found himself living in the coffeehouse basement and acting as resident MC and sound man, encountering legendary folk troubadours like Canadian singer-songwriter Stan Rogers, Eric Andersen, Tom Paxton and Claudia Schmidt.
Folk meccas like Texas’ Kerrville Folk Festival (where he won the New Folk Award in 1984) and Boston followed, and his stunningly soulful baritone voice and original songwriting began turning heads. Those who had at one time inspired him – Suzanne Vega, Bill Morrissey, Nanci Griffith, Christine Lavin, Shawn Colvin – had become his peers. In 1987, the young Minnesota-based Red House Records caught wind of John’s talents and released his first album, I Know, to popular and critical acclaim. John hit the ground running and, when an offer came from Windham Hill’s Will Ackerman in 1989, he signed with that label’s imprint, High Street Records.
His release The Company You Keep held fast to his tradition of fine songwriting, yet moved forward down new avenues. Its fourteen songs displays John’s creative use of lyrics and attention to detail. Ani DiFranco, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Lucy Kaplansky and Patty Larkin contributed stellar guitar work and vocals to this fan favorite.

<h3>Russ Rentler</h3>
At his first night at Moravian College, he met John Gorka where they were both playing at an open mic. They soon formed The RAZZY DAZZY SPASM BAND, with Doug Anderson and were joined the following year by Rich Shindell on lead guitar. Russ was the mandolin player, John played incredible 5 string banjo and Doug Andersen provided the solid rock rhythm on his custom made Froggy Bottom guitars. Tim Germer later joined as bass player. Throughout all four years of college, they played around the Lehigh Valley centering around Godfrey Daniel's and the southside of Bethlehem, PA.
Russ went to medical school and received a Ph.D. During his medical training, Russ continued to pursue his passion of acoustic music and picked up hammer and mountain dulcimer, fiddle, dobro, autoharp and bouzouki. He also started building his own hammered dulcimers and uses his own instruments on stage.
