This is a great festival which is the oldest continuing BBQ event in Arizona. There will be live music by Dr. Ron & The Painkillers and other bands with lots of food and fun.
A Brief History of The Band:
Dr. Ron Walker (guitar), Cyd Manning (drums), Tom Foster (bass) and Mike Haasis (guitar), got together one night and worked on a few blues, rock and surf tunes preparing to play live. The band jelled and soon they were actively gigging. After a few years, Bill Guerriero took Mike’s place and they have been together ever since.
For the past 25 years, they have enjoyed bringing their style to many blues, classic rock, surf and original tunes to brighten your day and create a rich musical experience for all to enjoy. Please join us at our next gig.
