Get Your Motor Runnin’

Get your motor runnin’ at the Rockin’ the Route Kickoff Concert as we once again feature the number one cover band in America – the Emerald City Band at 7:00 p.m. This high-energy 13-piece band featuring a set list from 1960s Motown to 1970s disco/funk/ R&B to 1980s jams and all the way up to current hits! If you were there to experience this talented band’s crowd-pleasing, interactive performance last year you know it was worth the trip! Bring someone new with you when you return for this year’s concert. The more, the merrier! Come dance and party with us at Springfield’s biggest party of the year! | Aaron Sachs Stage, Motorcycle Village
