Secret City Sounds continues its Summer Concert Series with The Red Hot Horn Dawgs on Friday, July 19. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. at the Oak Ridge Civic Center Pavilion located at 1403 Oak Ridge Turnpike.
The Red Hot Horn Dawgs are a nine-piece band with a full horn section and extroverted showmen, and the group’s musical library spans the best years of American popular music, from Otis Redding and Elvis Presley to Billy Joel, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Kid Rock, and Toby Keith, a press release said.
“What sets the Dawgs above other bands is a dedication to push beyond simply playing a bunch of songs to creating an entertaining show,” the press release said. “The group sometimes has run limbo contests under the slide of a rusty trombone and sent a trumpet player prancing through the crowd beating on a cowbell. Whatever it takes to add pizazz to a show!”
Secret City Sounds concerts are presented by the Arts Council of Oak Ridge and sponsored by the City of Oak Ridge. They are free. Organizers recommend bringing a blanket or chair and setting up on the lawn behind the pavilion at Alvin K. Bissell Park for a great night of music. Food, ice cream, and beverages will be available.
