We return to Fountain Park this Friday night with a concert of Seventies and Eighties rock music from two of the most iconic rock bands of that era: Boston and Styx.\u00a0 The band playing Friday night, Bostyx, is literally playing all over the country this summer, from California to Arizona and Wyoming to Van Wert, Ohio.<\/p>\n
Fronted by lead singer David Victor, who is currently also guitarist and singer for the actual Boston band, Bostyx is one of the most authentic tribute bands and the only tribute band exclusively playing hits from these two iconic rock bands.\u00a0 If you are a fan of the classic rock music of the Seventies and early Eighties, you won\u2019t want to miss this concert.<\/p>\n
The concert begins at 7 p.m. and there will be food available in the park provided by Willshire Youth Activities.\u00a0 Bring a lawn chair, blanket, or stand to enjoy a rockin\u2019 concert this Friday night in Fountain Park.<\/p>\n
If we\u2019re rocking this Friday, we\u2019ll be swingin\u2019 next Friday night.\u00a0The Toledo Jazz Orchestra will take us back to the 1930s, \u201840s and \u201850s when swing was king and Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and Stan Kenton were playing some of the best dance music ever written.<\/p>\n
