The Owensboro Symphony’s Summer Salute will return on Friday, June 2, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. on McConnell Plaza featuring special guests Rockapella. For the first time ever, the Owensboro Symphony will headline Friday After 5. The male vocal group Rockapella achieved national television fame in the early ’90s on the hit PBS show Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Since then, they have toured the globe and provided a funky powerful soundtrack to several generations of vocal music fans. With buckets of catchy original pop songs, and complete contemporary revisions of sparkling pop and soul classics this group has always been the one to watch. The current Rockapella lineup features Scott Leonard, high tenor; Jeff Thacher, vocal percussionist; Calvin Jones, tenor: Jose Rodriguez, tenor; and Bryant Vance, bass. This lineup marks a new generation of Rockapella, who remain
keenly focused on musical excellence. Summer Salute is a free community event made possible by the generous sponsorship of the Daviess County Fiscal Court along with additional support from the City of Owensboro and Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline. The community is encouraged to bring their lawn chairs and blankets and find a spot on Atmos Amphitheater at McConnell Plaza to enjoy this family friendly concert.
