This years season begins on May 6th with some sure to be lively, foot stompin’ country rock style music performed by the Clay Colton Band.
Listen to some of their music and you’ll find out why they’re so popular at the many places they’ve played. These folks are very talented. The blues style and heartbreaking ’ Daddy’s Last Dance’ is very touching. You can read more about them at www.claycolton.com.
Twenty two bands are scheduled this year, with a wide variety of genres. A nice variety of music for nearly everyone’s enjoyment.
Rockin’ the house at season’s end on September 30th will be The Petty Breakers. (a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers tribute band). Their renditions are so good, you just might be amazed if you’ve never heard this band play before. www.pettybreakers.com
