Deuce ‘n a Quarter is a Columbus Ohio based band fronted by the strong voice and wailing harp of Brian Peters. He is backed by one of the tightest rhythm sections in Mid-Ohio with Steve Perakis on bass, Andre Scott on drums, Jeffrey Allen on guitar, and John Sipher on keys. Their rich and smooth sound of original music is treated like an old friend, as they faithfully add to the musical expressions of their many legendary influences. Teamed with Brian’s lyrical narrations, the band fosters the acceptance, even the romanticism of life’s physical and emotional hardships which, after all, is what the blues is all about!

The 3rd Annual Emergency Services Gala is a formal evening to honor the men & women who work tirelessly every day to keep our communities safe and healthy. An evening of live entertainment, dinner, & dancing will bring emergency personnel together to recognize them for the job they do.
