Primitive Pop – Devou Park
August 30 @ 7:30 pm-9:30 pm
Primitive Pop
(Transistor Radios to Walkmans)
7:30 p.m. Saturday, August 30, 2025
The KSO’s Boogie Band recalls the 3 decades of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, when (prior to smart phones) music was personally transported via hand held radios and cassette players. It was also a time when music meant melody. Think Percy Faith – The 5th Dimension; Three Dog Night – Queen and Yes — B52s. Bring the grandkids and feed them some real tunes.
Admission is free, contributions encouraged.
Register for Concert Updates!
A TANK Shuttle Bus will depart every half hour from Covington Catholic High School (CCHS) on Dixie Highway starting at 6 p.m through 7:30 p.m., for $2 each way. Chairs and coolers are allowed on buses. At the end of the program, shuttle buses line Band Shell Blvd. to return immediately to the CCHS parking lot.
