What Is Hip? Tower Of Power, That’s What!
I am sure it was with reluctance that the first appearance of Tower of Power at the Lowell Summer Music Series was moved indoors due to inclement weather. TOP, as they are known, is a dance band and the indoor space is not as conducive to dancing as Boarding House Park.

Double Trouble!
Two blues guitar stars – Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Jonny Lang in their first-ever duo tour – rocked Boarding House Park at the season opener of the Lowell Summer Music Series.

I believe this was considered a true co-bill, since each performed a full 90-minute set; regardless, it was a terrific show that truly showcased their talent.
