The concert will feature the Kansas City Celtic band Sunrush and Lawrence rockabilly group Fear and Whiskey. Concert attendees may enjoy free balloons and face painting and will be able to learn about local businesses, clubs and organizations. Refreshments will be available from concession stands.
Patrons are encourages to bring their lawn chairs and blankets and enjoy a last taste of summer.
Sunrush was formed when Mike Dugger, after releasing a solo album, joined forces with three Irish musicians from North America. Dugger is a fiddler and vocalist, Chris Grotewohl plays the five-string banjo, Janice Brooks plays the harp and sings, and Joe Roots plays the piano. Fear and Whiskey has become one of Lawrence's leading rockabilly acts. The band combines 1950s twang and rockabilly sounds to produce honky-tonk and rockabilly swing music. Fear and Whiskey recently traveled to St. Louis for the Twangfest festival and to Chicago for the M.O.B. Fest.
