FAIR CONCERT SERIES
It’s that time of year again, when the Ferris wheel turns, the cotton
candy fluffs and the amphitheater at the Orange County Fairgrounds wails
with musical excellence. Yup, it’s Orange County Fair time, and who
better to kick off the fair’s concert series on Friday than Huey Lewis
and the News.
This is the group that let us know it’s “Hip to be Square.” They told
us that “The Heart of Rock and Roll” was still beating. And who can
forget all they taught us about “The Power of Love.”
Known as one of the hardest working bands in America, Huey Lewis and
the News has been together for more than 20 years and is still going
strong.
Other acts lined up for the series include Doors tribute band Wild
Child on Saturday, Linda Ronstadt on July 14, Martina McBride on July 15
and the Indigo Girls on July 16. That’s only the start of the list, which
also includes the B-52’s, Keith Urban, Save Ferris, Styx, Heart, Collin
Raye, Lynyrd Skynyrd and more. Check out www.ocfair.com for the complete
list.
