Band: The VW Boys
Location: Blountville, Tennessee
The VW Boys’ show is a unique blend of talent consisting of music, magic and comedy, a complete variety show. Audiences of all ages enjoy the VW Boys show. The VW Boys perform a wide range of shows from Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN to openings for comedic greats such as Jerry Clower and Don Knotts.
The VW Boys blend several different aspects of entertainment in their show. As banjo picker and singer Tim White says, ” We entertain folks for an hour or so and help them forget their problems for a little while”. These “folks” can be middle aged, senior citizens or children (of all ages). A good portion of the VW Boys show is audience participation. The VW Boys have a way of going beyond the edge of the stage to really get an audience involved in the show. Larry McPeak says, “We are as good as our audience, but we seem to always have great audiences!”
The VW Boys came together several years ago when musician Tim White and magician Dave Vaught worked together on a few shows. Dave would do a magic show and Tim’s band would follow Dave’s show with a Bluegrass concert. This worked very well. Suddenly the idea came up to combine the two shows. Tim knew Dave could pick a guitar and sing. So, why not?! After a few practice sessions Dave and Tim agreed they needed a bass player and a third part harmony vocal to make the show complete. They approached Bluegrass veteran and songwriter Larry McPeak about the job. Larry agreed immediately. Larry’s contributions of great lead and tenor vocals give the VW Boys show a tremendous lift. He also has written many songs for the group from the silly “Big Fat Earl” to serious heartwarming gospel tunes such as “Saved By the Blood”.
The VW Boys show fits any situation from conventions, fairs, festivals, clubs and private parties. The show is good clean humor and music. The VW Boys pride themselves on keeping a very professional show in front of every audience. As Dave Vaught says, “The VW Boys have over 75 years of combined experience in showmanship between the three of us”. Music, Magic and Comedy, a great combination for your next event. Entertainment that is professional and affordable.
