Rock and roll with The Fabulous Greaseband

- By John Schmoyer Kutztown Recreation Director

The Fabulous Greaseband brings the best of the rock and roll oldies to Kutztown Park from 6 to 8 p.m. on July 27, following Kutztown Strong’s 5th annual Kutztown Kruizz event held earlier that day on Main Street noon to 5 p.m.

Plan to make a day of it in Kutztown, and come for the car show in the afternoon and make your way to the Kutztown Park for the free concert starting at 6 p.m. The concert is free to the public and is part of the Borough of Kutztown 2019 Concert Series in the Park, and will be held rain or shine in the covered Kutztown Park Bandshell.

The band has become very popular as they bring their style and entertainm­ent reminiscen­t of the great tribute bands as they dance and sing to some of the most popular and memorable hits and classics. If you like the sounds of the Oldies, then this is an event you have to see.

The oldies band is a seven-member group singing and playing the best of the rock and roll oldies spanning the period from the 1950s through the ‘90s. In their 40 plus years of existence, they continue to thrill crowds throughout the east coast with their sounds and show. The stage will come alive with the sounds of the memorable Doo Wop groups and Oldies bands of the era. They will entertain with many well-known favorite songs of the era as well as some one-hit wonders. Artists such as Frankie Vali and the Four Seasons, The Beach Boys, Roy Orbison, The Righteous Brothers, Chuck Berry, Chubby Checker, The Platters, Elvis Pressley, and many other household names will be heard on stage in the Kutztown Park bandshell.

The park concession stand Mad Dogs in the Park will be open before and during the concert, offering a variety of hot dogs, wraps, salads, various varieties of fries, chicken tenders, and many other items.
