In the KQEN Cultural Spotlight:

Music Off Central has the group Sleepless Truckers in concert at Central Park on Thursday night at 7:00 p.m.

They are described as a high-energy outlaw country band based in central Oregon, blending the grit of Americana, the swagger of southern rock, and the raw power of red dirt country, while putting their own stamp on classics by arts like Waylon Jenings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and others.

Around a dozen food vendors will be on site to offer a variety of meals, plus other vendors will have adult beverages and snacks on sale. A splash pad is available nearby to help families stay cool in the summer heat.

Music Off Central concerts continue weekly through August 6th. For more information, go to: https://musicoffcentral.org/
