Get to know this year's Headliner

If you haven't seen Vocal Trash before, you've missed out.

The Texas based group has been engaging audiences with their unique and exciting brand of entertainment for over a decade from New York to Seattle, Las Vegas to Puerto Rico. Whether it be Madison Square Garden or The Venetian Hotel and Casino, Vocal Trash continues to energize all ages with their first class singing, industrial style drumming, comedy antics and award winning break-dancing. This is “Glee” with a kick.

“It’s an energy thing” says creator Steve Linder. This may just well be an understatement.  Their performance is an astounding display of excellence, synchronization, excitement, precision, and musicianship performed by a superbly conditioned and highly skilled cast. Unlike many shows, it is the entire troupe that makes this seamless ensemble performance such a thrilling and uniquely complete experience. When it comes to diversity, Vocal Trash is, hands down, the ultimate variety show woven with picturesque urban tapestry.

Vocal Trash performed at First Night for the first time on New Year's Eve 2005 in downtown Kennewick. By popular demand, the group returned to headline when we moved to Richland in 2006 and at Columbia Basin College in Pasco in 2007 and 2008. Once again, the group is back by popular demand from both our sponsors and attendees. The tour stop represents a "homecoming" for Kelsey Rae, the group's lead singer. She has family in the Puget Sound area, as well as extended family in the Tri-Cities.

See why audiences worldwide are recycling their imagination as Vocal Trash redefines the meaning of high octane entertainment. Prepare yourself for an evening of music, dance and comedy theater.
