Journey back in time with these entertaining, historical characters in an interactive, educational, musical theater performance. Les Fils du Voyageur, The Sons of the Voyageur bring the music to life.
From the late 1600's to the 1840's, thousands of voyageurs sang as they paddled furs and trade goods across the North American continent. Their repertoire comes from a huge collection of paddling, dancing, working, and playing songs that form the basis of this exciting historical overview of the fur-trade era. The current Les Fils Du Voyageur have come from the extensive research of music professor Bill Otis dating back to 1974. Dressed in period garb, these Voyageurs have sung their way throughout the midwest and beyond. Ride along as these Edu-tainers reflect on the dreams, joys, sorrows, work, and play in the everyday life of a voyageur.

For more than six decades, The Beach Boys' music has been an indelible part of American history. Their brilliant harmonies
conveyed simple truths through sophisticated, pioneering musical arrangements. The Beach Boys transcended their music
and have come to represent Californian culture. They provided fans around the world with a passport to experience love,
youthful exuberance, and surf culture. Founded in Hawthorne, California in 1961, The Beach Boys were originally comprised
of the three teenaged Wilson brothers: Brian, Carl, and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and school friend Al Jardine. The
Beach Boys signed with Capitol Records in July 1962 and released their first album, Surfin' Safari, that same year.
The Beach Boys are one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful bands of all time, with over 100 million
records sold worldwide. Between the 1960s and today, the group had over 80 songs chart worldwide, 36 of them in the US
Top 40 (the most by a US rock band), and four topping the Billboard Hot 100. Their influence on other artists spans musical
genres and movements. Countless artists have cited Pet Sounds as their inspiration for creating their own musical
masterpieces. Rolling Stone ranked Pet Sounds No. 2 on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and The Beach
Boys No. 12 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and recipients of The Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement
GRAMMY Award®, The Beach Boys are a beloved American institution that remains iconic around the world.
The Beach Boys are led by lead singer and critically acclaimed chief lyricist Mike Love, who, along with longtime member
Bruce Johnston, musical director Brian Eichenberger, Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, Jon Bolton, Keith Hubacher, Randy
Leago and John Wedemeyer continue the legacy of the iconic band.
