Free admission.
Long before glowing acclaim from NPR and Billboard, packed shows, unforgettable festival appearances, millions of streams, and collaborations with everyone from BTS to Contemporary Youth Orchestra, the journey of The Accidentals commenced in a public high school classroom in Traverse City, Michigan. As the story goes, concertmaster violinist Savannah Buist, and cellist, Katie Larson, raised their hands at the request for volunteers to play a music boosters concert and wound up being musical soulmates. The Accidentals spent the better part of the last year writing songs for a TIME OUT album with writers who inspired them to create, including Hall of Fame writer Beth Nielsen Chapman (Willie Nelson, Elton John, Faith Hill), barrier-breaking Kim Richey, and Maia Sharp (Bonnie Raitt, Dixie Chicks, Cher), among others. After a sold-out, 13-city tour and 15 weeks on top ten radio, they decided to record TIME OUT 2. With the release of the second TIME OUT comes another round of compelling co-written songs and this incredible lineup. We hope you’ll join us for a TIME OUT!

The Temptations & The Four Tops
2022-06-24 20:00 - 22:30 | Centennial Terrace, 5773 Centennial Rd,, Sylvania, OH, 43560, United States
Centennial Terrace | 8 p.m.
The Temptations
For more than 50 years, The Temptations have prospered, propelling popular music with a series of smash hits, and sold-out performances throughout the world. The history of The Temptations is the history of contemporary American pop. An essential component of the original Motown machine, that amazing engine invented by Berry Gordy, The Temps began their musical life in Detroit in the early sixties. It wasn’t until 1964 however; that the Smokey Robinson written-and-produced “The Way You Do the things You Do” turned the guys into stars An avalanche of hits followed, many of which…”My Girl,” for instance…attained immortality. “It’s Growing,” “Since I Lost My Baby;,” “Get Ready,” “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,” “Beauty Is Only Skin Deep,” “I Wish It Would Rain” … the hits kept coming. The Temptations are members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Four Tops
The quartet, originally called the Four Aims, made their first single for Chess in 1956, and spent seven years on the road and in nightclubs, singing pop, blues, Broadway, but mostly jazz — four-part harmony jazz. When Motown’s Berry Gordy Jr. found out they had hustled a national Tonight Show appearance, he signed them without an audition to be the marquee act for the company’s Workshop Jazz label. That proved short-lived, and Stubbs’ powerhouse baritone lead and the exquisite harmonies of Fakir, Benson, and Payton started making one smash after another with the writing-producing trio Holland-Dozier-Holland. Their first Motown hit, “Baby I Need Your Loving” in 1964, made them stars and their sixties track record on the label is indispensable to any retrospective of the decade. Their songs, soulful and bittersweet, were across-the-board successes. “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch),” a no. 1 R&B and Pop smash in 1965, is one of Motown’s longest-running chart-toppers; it was quickly followed by a longtime favorite, “extraordinary run of instant H-D-H classics. Other Tops hits from the decade included “Ask The Lonely,” “Shake Me, Wake Me (When It’s Over),” “Something About You.”

We Are the Champions is an anthem we have all relished while our team celebrates a victory. Freddie Mercury and Queen gave us so many of these power songs that evoke feelings we often associate with certain life events. In 1993, after the passing of the legendary Mercury, Patrick Myers put together a band to pay tribute to the mythic singer. From the UK, Killer Queen’s first gig was at London University, where Mercury himself once played. They immediately gained a following. Since then the band has honored Queen’s memory by playing giant stadiums worldwide.
Killer Queen is no stranger to our riverfront. On their last visit to Toledo, the crowd erupted, with fans begging for more. We were disappointed that the pandemic grounded them from our 2021 lineup, so we eagerly welcome them back to Promenade Park for their much anticipated 2022 tour.
