The family-friendly concerts make for a star-spangled summer of fun for everyone.
On Saturday, May 25th, the concert series will officially kick off with RUSHOUR and KISS AMERICA, tributes to RUSH and KISS. RUSHOUR is a mind-blowing recreation of a real RUSH concert! RUSH has to be one of the hardest bands to portray, and RUSHOUR is as close as one can get! Their dedication to note-for-note playing and fantastic vocals that sound just like Geddy Lee will astound attendees. RUSHOUR plays all of the many big classic songs RUSH made famous, like Tom Sawyer and Limelight, and many of the deep cuts and fan favorites like 2112, By-Tor & The Snow Dog, Anthem, A Passage to Bangkok, Subdivisions, and many more.
Following RUSHOUR, KISS AMERICA will take the stage. KISS AMERICA brings an amazing tribute to KISS and is a fantastic recreation of a KISS concert with amazing costumes, props, and look-alike performers with years of experience playing big shows and events! KISS America will perform KISS’s great big hits and all of the KISS fan favorites.
Concert attendees can expect to hear great fist-pumping anthem songs and sing-a-longs like Detroit Rock City, I Was Made For Loving You, Strutter, Lick It Up, Cold Gin, Shout It Out Loud, Rock And Roll All Night, Love It Loud, Forever, Beth, Heavens On Fire, Black Diamond, Shock Me, Crazy Nights and many more!
On June 1st, Friends of the Bandshell will recognize the service of our veterans and will commemorate the Bud Asher Memorial Celebration by honoring local veterans with a patriotic flyover and the singing of the National Anthem at the Bandshell. ALLMAN REVIVAL and BEAUTIFUL LOSER will perform tributes to the Allman Brothers and Bob Seger.
On Thursday, July 4th, Friends of the Bandshell will celebrate Independence Day with a show featuring Alter Eagles, an Eagles Tribute Band. The show will also include a special extended “Bud Light-Lights Up Daytona Fireworks Display” paired with patriotic music provided by 95.7 The Hog radio show. Happy Birthday, America!
