The Golden Belt Community Concert Association will resume its 2024-2025 season with the Doo-Wah Riders, presenting high-energy country music with a Cajun twist at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, in the Great Bend Municipal Auditorium, Lakin and Stone, in Great Bend. Doors open at 6:15 p.m.
This GBCCA event is open to association members. No single concert tickets are available. Because the association encourages young people’s interest in music and the performing arts, full-time students are admitted for a $5 donation at the door.
The Doo-Wah Riders have been based in Southern California for more than 40 years, combining many years of experience with youthful energy fired by a love for what they do. With ultra-tight musicianship, vocal harmonies and powerful arrangements of classic and original songs, they continue to entertain audiences across the country.
Program highlights will include “The William Tell Overture,” ”Ghost Riders in the Sky,” “Proud Mary,” “The Devil Went Down to Texas,” and themes from western television shows, including “Bonanza” and “Rawhide.”
Handicap parking spaces are available on the south and west sides of the auditorium, plus eight handicap parking are provided at the northeast entrance of the auditorium for every concert with blue cones placed at the curb before each space.
The GBCCA concert season will continue with Jared Freiburg and the Vagabonds bringing 1950s rock and roll, blues, country and jazz, April 4; Sail On, a tribute to the Beach Boys, April 27; and Ernie Haase and Signature Sound’s patriotic and inspirational concert, “Land of Hopes and Dreams,” May 4.
