Clint Wiley's None Other

This year's featured entertainment is Clint Wiley's None Other.

None Other has toured the U.S., from Alaska to New England and Hawaii to the Caribbean. None Other has five singers and plays completely live, using no pre-recorded or ‘enhanced’ tracks, to guarantee a seamless flow & personal touch all night long.

The band’s repertoire sets them apart from others as they cover songs by many of today’s hottest artists, while not forgetting past hits that everyone loves.

Pop, Rock, Motown, Hip/Hop, 80s, New Wave, Disco…They all happily co-exist on stage with None Other.

Check out this video!
