“Holiday concerts are a staple of the season, and the drive-in format enables everyone to enjoy the show in a safe, comfortable environment,” said Union County Commissioner Board Chairman Alexander Mirabella.
The Company Men, who describe themselves as a “Modern Day Rat Pack,” are a nationally acclaimed vocal, pop music quartet forming a mix of current Top 40 hits with classics of the last 60 years, with a special twist. They have appeared onstage with Mariah Carey, Billy Idol, Chaka Khan and others.

As a guest artist for the Atlanta, Colorado, and Taiwan Symphony Orchestras, he has delighted audiences with classic songs from Disney productions.
