The Music Onthe42 summer concert series wrapped up Saturday evening, August 23, at the Sunset Amphitheatre with the Seacliff Rocks night featuring a four band line-up and five hours of rock and roll tunes. Many concertgoers were up on their feet dancing and clapping along with the beats.
The free concert evening was presented by the Municipality of Leamington and The Bank Theatre and showcased talent from The Rose City Rockers, The 519 Band, J#Major, and headliner Rick Labonte and the Band of Brothers.
Members from all four bands joined together for a final performance keeping the tunes and dancing going well past a warm but windy sunset over Lake Erie.
Saturday night’s concert was the last in the Music Onthe42 summer series, but not the last concert at the amphitheatre for this summer. Labour Day weekend will continue another tradition with local legendary rockers, The S’Aints.
“Bring some change in your pockets, because the S’Aints are rocking the park to fight hunger in our community,” Corey Robertson told concertgoers in announcing the next event at the Sunset Amphitheatre on Saturday, August 30. Gates open at 6 pm.
It will be the fourth annual concert for The S’Aints Rock Seacliff Against Hunger.
Although the upcoming concert is free, donations will be accepted as the aim is to help raise awareness and needed funds for local food banks across Essex County.
Paul Richards was on the drums for both J#Major and Rick Labonte and the Band of Brothers.
