TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH
Cramer Brothers Band - they are an outstanding country
music show based in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of
Eastern Pennsylvania. They have become one of the
premiere acts in county music. These multi-talented
musicians perform contemporary county, classic country and
bluegrass music that will provide entertainment for all ages.
Dion Pride connects with crowds of all types, and works feverishly, through his performances, to win
over crowds of all ages. Dion is the son of legendary Country Music Hall of Famer, Charley Pride.
Dion is also a songwriter and multi talented Instrumentalist. He plays guitar, piano, drums and bass. At
fourteen, he was performing. One of his songs titled “I Miss My Home” was recorded by his father and
released on Charley Pride’s “Choices” album in 2011. Dion played lead guitar and keyboards for his
father, and opened His Father’s show for 5 years, but while touring on his father’s show, Dion began to
incorporate some of his own material. The audiences were so responsive that Dion decided to strike
out on his own and has not looked back. When asked, “What was the most important thing you
learned from your father?” Dion sums it up in one word, “Humbleness”.
