The Piano Man is BACK on the Madam Carroll for ONE LAST TIME this season!

And if you know Bruce Barker, you already know. If you DON’T know Bruce Barker… well, this is your chance...

Born and raised right here in Indiana, Bruce has been entertaining crowds for decades, playing just about everything under the sun and building a reputation for being the kind of musician who can keep a room singing along all night long. And now he’s bringing all of that energy to Indiana’s Largest Boat!

This is not your average night out. It’s a night on the lake, drinks in hand, your favorite songs on the piano, and a whole boat full of people ready to have a GOOD TIME!
