As always Mulch, Sweat, and Shears, the cover band that plays year 'round on the Streets of America at Walt Disney World's Hollywood Studios is playing New Year's Eve shows. These shows are very popular so arrive early.
Show times are 8:00pm, 9:00pm, 10:00pm, and 11:00pm with the fireworks show beginning as close to Midnight as possible. Yes - they are playing a show with the fireworks! It's going to be awesome. There are a few new surprises this year including a bigger band and some new material.
Mulch has a big following including a large number of video on YouTube, a facebook fan page, and their own CD under the name Los Lawn Boys.
