Entertainment Series of Irving

The Levee Singers began, in 1961, as the "Levee Banjo Band"...the weeknight entertainment at the Levee…a small, very successful nightclub in Dallas near the SMU campus. Their name was changed to the Levee Singers when the group began appearing on national TV shows and across the country at conventions and concerts and in Las Vegas and Reno.  The group quickly became one of Dallas' best-known and most in-demand entertainment groups in the early 1960's.

 

We’re excited to present Dave Tanner and his band.  Dave has been performing for 40 years to an array

of audiences, including 5 Texas Governors, 3 Presidents, European royalty, and listeners of KAAM

“Legends 770” as the morning Drive-Time host. A 5th generation Texan, Dave and his family reside in Irving.

These girls have been playing violin and dancing since a very young age, and they grew up performing on

stages in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.  Greta, Willow and Solana Gothard started out with rigorous

classical violin training and competitive Irish dance, leading them to leadership positions in the local

Youth Symphonies and bringing them to the Irish dancing World Championships (held overseas in the UK)

to compete in the solo championships for three years in a row.

The three sisters have also developed their talents on numerous other instruments including guitar, bodhran and voice, in the pursuit of a fuller, more compelling show.  Their love for music, dance and storytelling is their inspiration for performing and recording.
