Canyon Lake’s biggest weekend of the year is here as many look forward to family gatherings and the fireworks show. Master of ceremonies Mike Shroyer of Good Time Entertainment has announced his pre-show music, broadcast from the Lodge deck, will be a tribute to Country artists Kenny Chesney and the Zac Brown Band.
Mike says, “I love their music because it is the soundtrack for summertime for many people. Also, it doesn’t get much more patriotic than Country music.” Tara Miller will be singing the National Anthem. Once the fireworks start, Mike will play music provided by Pyro Spectacular that is synchronized with the computerized show.
The music will best be heard by spectators at waterfront homes, parks and boats on the Main Lake. While spectators won’t be allowed to enter the pool area, they are welcome to fill the walkway around the pool.
