Thursday night marks 106 years of the Monte Rio Variety Show when entertainers attending the super-secret Bohemian Grove encampment perform for area residents to raise money for local causes.

Ray Benson of the nine-time Grammy-winning band, Asleep at the Wheel and Kix Brooks, half of the country duo of Brooks & Dunn, are two of the performers confirmed to take the Monte Rio Amphitheatre stage. Fiddler Mark O'Connor and the O'Connor Band will also perform, according to the group's website. The rest, as is tradition, will be a surprise until showtime.

Clint Black, Steve Miller, Charlie Musselwhite and Zac Brown are some of the entertainers who have participated in the past.

In addition to the entertainment, there is a wine and beer bar, BBQ and dessert bar.

Ticket proceeds boost the work of the Monte Rio Fire Services Foundation, St. Catherine of Siena Church and the Monte Rio School Foundation.

The Monte Rio Amphitheatre is at 9925 Main St.

Tickets ($30 for adults, $15 for youth) are available here. Doors open at 4:30 p.m.
