Join Billy Bob, Billy Joe and Billy Billee as they mix NASCAR with La Boheme, light beer with Carmen, and even kick up a little dust with Madame Butterfly.

The foot-stomping musical comedy features classically trained veteran artists performing everything from Elvis to Puccini, soul to pop and country to opera.
