DJ Arved

This Sunday we will be dancing the night away to the sounds of DJ Arved. Arved has been an avid supporter and fan of Michael Jackson for more than twenty years. He's attended more than two-dozen Michael Jackson events and fan gatherings including the Invincible Release Party in London, MJ Day USA in New York City, no less than ten MJ fan parties in Germany, and much more! Arved told MJFC that Michael Jackson's music has helped him get through both good and bad days, so it is a must that he return the favor and be in Santa Maria to show his 100% loyal support to MJ. Arved is currently looking for a venue for an upcoming Michael Jackson fan party in Germany for this upcoming fall, which we are sure will be a huge success.

Kennedy Tap Company

The Kennedy Tap Company has performed in various professional venues as well as community based, and religious arenas in service to its audiences. They were also the first tap group to be invited to the International Dance Festival of Cuba. Performances have included, the Grand Opening of the Kodak Theatre and the Hollywood Beautification Project honoring Mr. Tap himself Ben Vereen. The Kennedy Tap Company has also enjoyed the privilege of sharing the bill with such giants as the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, shared in the re-opening of the Ivar Theatre home of the California Youth Theatre and performed at our Birthday Party 2003 in LA.

Highway 61 Revisited

Highway 61 Revisited is the world's only Bob Dylan Tribute Band. With stunning authenticity, Highway 61 Revisited, featuring Joel Gilbert, performs Bob Dylan's greatest music and stage shows, featuring songs like 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door', 'Like A Rolling Stone', 'Hurricane', and 'All Along the Watchtower' - all the songs that made Bob Dylan a cultural icon and legend - as well as new hits like 'Things Have Changed'. Highway 61 Revisited features an acoustic and an electric set. Fans of all ages revel in experiencing Bob Dylan again, or for the first time! The poetry, symbolism, and power of Bob Dylan's greatest performances still resonate today, thanks to Highway 61 Revisited!

Navi

Navi has been a professional impersonator for the past 15 years. During this time, his reputation as the best impersonator is of a global opinion. He has performed on five continents, in over thirty-three different countries and in at least eighty of the major cities in the world. From the United States to the United Arab Emirates, from Japan to Jamaica, even Italy to India, his show is truly world renowned. In the world of media, he has appeared in far too many publications to name. Film appearances, to stints in pop videos. Appearing on front cover of magazines, to promoting products within them. Navi has appeared in the S Club movie 'Seeing Double' and one of the Simply Red videos.

Dev

Devra Gregory has worked as a professional dancer for over 30 years. Her roots are in ballet, jazz and modern dance. Dev has performed for many different types of shows and in 1996 was cast as a back up dancer in the female impersonator show "La Cage". She worked for their International company on the island of Aruba for over 3 years. It was during this time she saw three different "Michaels" come and go, all male performers. Dev got the idea that it would be more interesting to have "Michael" performed by a woman, in keeping with the gender bending theme. As a seasoned dancer for many years and in many styles, good at stage make- up and costuming she felt ready to take on the new challenge. Although her manager said the producer would never audition a woman, he did audition her and she did perform as MJ in Aruba. Dev left the company in 2000 to join a show in San Diego at "Lips", a drag themed nightclub. She was able to break away from just working drag when she was hired to portray MJ on E! TV's True Hollywood Story.
