Local bands, The Empty Bottle Blues Band and Opal Moon, will wrap up another fabulous season of free and fun music in the outdoors.

About the Bands:
Take two strong fistfuls of Freddie King and Muddy Waters. Stir them up with smatterings of the Rolling Stones, Allman Brothers and Eric Clapton. Season with original lyrics and songs whose subject matter swirls around the blues like a swamp around cypress – namely women. Throw in some J.J. Cale for good measure. Finally, take one bottle of bourbon. Empty it. This is the spicy gumbo that is The Empty Bottle Blues Band and they will fire you up like a hot southern night from the slow rockin’ blues to the git down n’ boogie blues. The local spice is Aaron Tomcak on bass, Tommy Rudder on drums, Frank Mesiti on guitar and vocals, Tyler Lucas on guitar, and Chuck McKenrick on keyboards.

The Opal Moon Band is a honky tonk and Western group playing an eclectic variety of country and western, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll. Their motto is “If you request it, we’ll play it, or something like it!” The Opal Moon Bands is Evelyn Roper, vocals and guitar; Dio Musquiz Jr, bass; Sean Turner, guitar and vocals; and Mike Alex, drums.
