He's the perfect antidote for the musical travesty that is Petrillo's schedule today. Travis Tritt Few acts have done more to crossbreed country music with southern rock than Travis Tritt, but back at the start of his brief, meteoric ascent, in the early 90s, there was an undeniable streak of honky-tonk in his style. The Kentucky duo Montgomery Gentry are a Saturday Night Live skit waiting to be written. Social critics are fond of citing hip-hop lyrics as proof of America's cultural disintegration, but this group's appalling degree of success speaks much louder to me. Headliners appear at the Petrillo Music Shell near Columbus and Jackson, local acts at the Taste Stage on the south end of the park.
Admission is free.
