We’re proud to announce our Main Stage concert line-up for MarsCon 2016…

Music Guest Of Honor:
THE GREAT LUKE SKI

As requested by the Con Chair, Jolene Hardy, this year’s Music GoH is none other than the man who through sheer will and obnoxious audacity manifested the MarsCon Dementia Track into existence over a decade ago, the great Luke Ski. He’s “The Dr. Demento Show’s” most requested act of the 21st Century, and he’s won 2 Logan Awards for Oustanding Song Parody. Currently working as a Storyboarder, Writer, and Voice-Over artist at Cartoon Network on “Mighty MagiSwords”, he’s taking time off from Turner to bring his nerdy comedy music back to his favorite convention ever in a 1-hour concert on Saturday afternoon!

Special Event: The LOGAN AWARDS

The 6th Annual Logan Whitehurst Memorial Awards for Excellence in Comedy Music is a concert and award ceremony celebrating the best in comedy music from the year 2015. Awards will be given out in the categories of Outstanding Parody Song, Outstanding Original Comedy Song, and Outstanding Comedy Music Video. We’ll be showing the videos and performing the songs live on stage, and handing out the three awards to the winners at the end. For details on this year’s jury and nominees, visit the Logan Awards website.
