The acoustic sounds of area favorite JIM KELLY kick things off at 6:00 p.m. Friday. Jim is a veteran of the local music scene in Cincinnati. Covering everything from classic rock to country hits and current material, Jim has something for everyone and makes each song his own.

At 7:15 p.m., DREAMBOAT ANNIE – a Tribute to Heart takes the stage paying homage to the sounds and songs of Ann and Nancy Wilson of the historic rock band Heart. From Barracuda and Crazy On You to Even It Up and How Can I Refuse, you do not want to miss these fantastic renditions of Heart’s many hit songs!

Southern Accents

Tribute night culminates with an unmatched performance as Nashville-based SOUTHERN ACCENTS – a Tribute to Tom Petty brings the “Petty Experience” to Sycamore Township’s own Bechtold Park! Southern Accents is the ultimate Tom Petty tribute band, with a Petty doppelganger at the helm and a band filled with musicians who have toured with some of the biggest names in music today. This celebration of Tom Petty’s lifetime of classic songs will feature hits such as Don’t Come Around Here No More, American Girl, Refugee, and much more!
