July 14th concert – “The Stray Cat” Lee Rocker Since the release of his Alligator Records debut Racin’ The Devil, bassist/vocalist/songwriter and Stray Cats co-founder, Lee Rocker’s solo career has been skyrocketing. Publications from USA Today to Billboard to The New York Times raved about the undeniable power and foot-stomping fun of Rocker’s Americana-based roots rock. In the early 1980s, Rocker, with The Stray Cats, helped reintroduce rockabilly to a mass audience. His solo recordings continue igniting the roots music fire. Rocker’s powerful, original songs, amazing musicianship, and passionate and vibrant vocals, bring depth and substance to a style of music noted for its ability to get people up and dancing. And when Lee and his band perform live, they leave audiences begging for more. 4th Annual Classic Car Show The July 14th concert will also feature the popular classic car show. All car enthusiasts are invited to bring their classic car (1985 or older) and join the 100+ cars that show each year. The first 100 cars to arrive will receive a goodie bag. Cars may begin entering the lawn at 5:30 p.m. There is no fee to attend.
