The bands for this year's Ball have been carefully selected to offer our guests a wide variety of musical entertainment. Whether you enjoy 80's hits, 70's superstars, or music of all genres, we will have it all. This year's entertainment lineup includes:

Tainted Love – “Dance Hits of the 80’s”, ensures a time warp through a wide range of totally radical '80's keepsakes, including tight vinyl clothing, sleeveless shirts and even ultra-zippered leather jackets! With high-energy singers driven by a powerhouse band, Tainted Love delivers a non-stop 80's live show with irresistible charisma.

David Martin's House Party - No matter what kind of music you want from whatever year - with a 500+ song list, DMHP can and will play the music you love! One of San Francisco ’s premier party bands for over 20 years, this “interactive” eleven piece all-star group has gained a national reputation for their high energy performances, incredible musical variety, and “anything can happen” hi-jinx.

For the first time ever, Auburn's Black & White Ball will feature a country stage - and we're going all out this year by bringing you a country rock supergroup that has sold 7 million albums - Little Texas will be rockin' the house with 2 shows!!! You won't want to miss this. With hits including "God Blessed Texas", "Kick A Little", "Amy's Back In Austin", and "What Might Have Been", this is not your grandma's country music - this is kickin' country music!

And when Little Texas is taking a break between shows, DJ Derik will be keeping the country music spinning for you line-dancers and two-steppers all night long! Known as Sacramento's Premier Country Club DJ, he's been a fixture for 20 years on the Sacramento night club circuit.  DJ Derik is passionate about his music and entertaining audiences.  From the days of Gatlin Brother's "America Live" nightclub to In Cahoots, Whiskey Ranch (Club Aqua), Charlie Browns, Rocky's 7440 Club, and presently at Stoney Inn aka Rockin' Rodeo on Friday nights, his fiery passion, dedication, enthusiasm and humor make him #1 among loyal country music fans.
