In the KQEN Cultural Spotlight:

Music Off Central has Alabama-born country crooner Kashus Culpepper in concert on Thursday night.

Culpepper is described as encompassing the sound of the South. He is known as a student and reverent purveyor of Southern music – country, soul, blues, folk and rock. Culpeper started playing music during the 2020 global pandemic, learning to play cover songs during his deployment to Spain with the U.S. Navy. He has just released his first three career singles.

Music Off Central shows begin at 7:00 p.m. at Central Park in downtown Sutherlin, on the Grand Central Stage. Along with the music, the venue features a beer garden, vendors and multiple food trucks plus offers a splash pad for families and plenty of shade.

Music Off Central will conclude next Thursday with 90’s country favorites Little Texas.
