CLEVELAND, Tenn. (May 6, 2008)—From concert band classics to country and rock-and-roll, band night in Johnston Park will draw music lovers of all kinds for the second concert of the 2008 Evening Shade season.

The free concert series, now in its 13th year, will continue on Friday, May 9, at 6:30 p.m. with the music of the Cleveland Community Concert Band and the Collins Brothers Band.

R.G. Wolf founded the Cleveland Community Concert Band, which debuted in November 2006. Wolf, who has spent much of his lifetime making music, is self-taught on 12 different instruments but has done some formal study at MacPhail School of Music and the University of Minnesota at Duluth. He has performed in more than 30 bands, orchestras and ensembles at occasions ranging from weddings and concerts to parades and televised marching bands at Big 12 football games.

After moving to Georgetown, Tenn., in 1985, Wolf played in two bands and two orchestras in the Chattanooga area because there was no concert band in Cleveland. As his activities increased on his farm, in his church and in the community, and with his grandchildren, traveling to Chattanooga became more of a challenge. His solution was to start a community band in Cleveland.

The Collins Brothers have shared the stage with such legends as Ronnie Milsap, T. Graham Brown, Earl Thomas Conley, Gene Watson, John Anderson, John Conlee and Billy Joe Royal.  They have also played with many of today’s Nashville stars like Andy Griggs, Darryl Worley, Jessica Andrews, Montgomery-Gentry, Jimmy Wayne, Steve Aszar, Aaron Tippin, Trick Pony, The Clark Brothers, Confederate Railroad and Charlie Robison.
