Lineup set for Main Street Live

Main Street McMinnville has released its lineup for the Main Street Live summer concert series. The summer will start off rocking, include a special bicentennial program, and end with a tribute.

It will also feature a Dottie West look-alike contest, which organizers hope will generate some interest.

The summer-long event will begin Friday, June 1 with a rock-n-roll band called d?boyz. Last year, the four-member band kicked off the football jamboree in August, but this year they will kick off the summer. Band members include Kenny Sherrill, Rick Pitts, Larry O?Neal and Terry Floyd.

One big change for the series will be a shortened schedule. Since the series began, concerts dates have started in June and run through August. This year, the series will be cut short when it ends July 27.

The decision to shorten the schedule came from different areas, including conflicts with Pioneer football season and a number of rain-outs in August.

This years summer schedule is as follows:

? June 1 ? d?boyz, rock-n-roll

? June 8 ? Carissia and Company, live music in America, a special bicentennial program.

? June 15 ? A night of Western swing, a special bicentennial program.

? June 22 ? Timeline with a beach party opened by the McMinnville Cruisers.

? June 29 ? Patton James & the Synchromatics, 1940s and ?50s music opened by the Silver and Gold Band and Cookeville Swing Club.

? July 6 ? Jackie LeDuc and Band, Christian contemporary.

? July 13 ? Randy Moore and the Fabulous Suedes, rock-a-billy.

? July 20 ? Just Pass?n Thru, country gospel.

? July 27 ? A tribute to Dottie West by Jackie Masiella, a special bicentennial program opened by a Dottie West look-alike contest.

The concerts are free and will once again be held on the West Lawn of Security Federal, 306 W. Main Street.
