Mar. 7—GREENSBURG — Visit Greensburg and the Decatur County Arts Council have announced the lineup for the 2023 Summer Concert Series in Rebekah Park, and it appears that the precedent set by last year's Jerry Williams Bicentennial Series of Concerts at Rebekah Park will have a fitting follow-up.
The DECCO Concert Series will include seven shows, all beginning at 7 p.m. Booked by the Indianapolis-based Elevate Agency, the line-up for this year will begin with "Hard Days Night" on Saturday, June 3.
This Beatles tribute band, touring in the U.S. and abroad since 1996, wears stitch-for-stitch Beatles' suits, all while playing the songs that have captured generations.
BUCKLE continues the series on Friday, July 7. Hailing from Chicago as a premier country-rock band, BUCKLE covers major touring acts such as Kenny Chesney, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Toby Keith and many others.
The Why Store, on Friday, July 21, is a folks and blues-driven rock band that originated in Muncie and has been rocking crowds since the late 1980s. With regionally known musicians Troy Seele, Dan Hunt and Charlie Bushor, the Why Store is Indiana musicians at their best.
The mid-July weekend will be complete when on Saturday, July 22, local area favorites Nuttin' Fancy will perform live for a headlining show featuring a long list of hits.
On Saturday, August 5, Soul Pocket, a Cincinnati based party and dance band, continues the series with a high energy mix of soul, Motown, R&B, rock and funk.
