Anthony Caserta and the Boy in Black Band provide an authentic Johnny Cash show. From the way Anthony dresses, does his hair and acts towards his audience, he has been recognized by Delaware County and Nashville as an amazing tribute to Johnny Cash. The 18 year old impresses audiences by how well he can portray the character of Cash, but he is totally respectful of the man. “I have been studying him, my whole life. “ The Ant Hill Mob Band is High Energy Rock Band with a Dance twist! Covering the music of the 50’s thru today, THE ANT HILL MOB is rock and roll defined!

Musian and sound engineer Mike Gallagher has been involved with coordinating and performing hundreds of events in the Philadephia area since 1998.

Our tenor, Paolo Antognetti, graduated Conservatorio G. Puccini di La Spezia with the highest honors. He comes to the festival from the soloist roster at The Arena in Verona Italy’s famous outdoor opera coliseum which annually draws 500,000 people to its concerts. He is a soloist with many prestigious Italian companies and is the winner of “Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano “Giuseppe Verdi Competition.” This is Mr. Antognetti premiere US appearance. A lyric soprano, Fumiyo Batta first received media attention at the age of 16 when she sang the title role of Hansel and Gretel on Kansai television.

Mary Lou Koch has directed for Murder Mystery Players and MC’d at ARA DelCo events. She has also appeared as one of the bridesmaids in Tina and Tony’s Wedding.

Carmen Vitanza’s musical career goes back to 1935 when he received his first accordion.

He has played in every medium from night clubs to cruise ships. Carmen is also a noted author, and in his autobiography, My Accordion: The Music in My Life Carmen tells his story of big bands, dance bands, and playing on a troop ship in Pearl Harbor in 1945. This will be Carmen’s third year performing for the festival.

The De La Salle String Band Orchestra was formed 3o years ago as the Knights of Columbus De La Salle Council #590 String Band.

Alfio captures the very essence of Italian music. His natural phenomenal vocal ability showcases his innate passion for Italian songs and is enjoyed by music lovers throughout the world. The 2013 festival is thrilled to welcome this magnificent artist to our stage.

Amelia Scalies, 8th grader, is an Alternative/Indie singer/songwriter from our area. Since winning her first writing contest, this talented young lady, has been connecting and moving audiences in a manner that belies her youthful years. Amelia’s deep and powerful lyrics offer universal insight into the human experience. Her 13 song CD is scheduled for release in June, 2013. Hot Club of Philly: Jean Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli invented an entirely new style of hot jazz guitar in the 1930’s. Reinhardt, known as the “greatest guitar player of all time” called the band the Hot Club of France. Inspired by the music and style, Barry Wahrhaftig and Mark Campiglia started the Hot Club of Philly Band. There is universal appeal to Gypsy Jazz. It’s honest and from the heart…just Hot Swing played Sweet and Lowdown! The festival is pleased to welcome Hot Club for its second consecutive year.

The story of the Rose Tree Tavern comes full circle as it once again welcomes visitors as home of Delaware County's Brandywine Conference & Visitors Bureau in Rose Tree Park. There's a saying that goes "the more things change, the more they stay the same." In the case of the Rose Tree Tavern, a beautiful historic building at the intersection of Rose Tree and Providence Roads in Media, that phrase couldn't be more true. What once was a welcoming inn to travelers in carriages and on horseback is now a hospitality center - providing historical, cultural and recreational information to modern travelers with GPS systems and smart phones. "This move puts us right in the center of Delaware County where we can be a resource for everyone," says Tore Fiore, BCVB Executive Director. "That will give us the capability to be open in the evenings during the Rose Tree Summer Festival, as well as for other significant events in Rose Tree Park during the year."
