Friday Night Concert in the Park featuring Tucker Family at The River Room

Raised on good music with a lot of soul, the Tucker Family Band (TFB) will present their
“70s Elvis: Hawaiian Style” show at 7 p.m. on Friday, September 8, at the River Room
(upstairs with elevator access), 3 W. Oak. Doors open at 6 p.m.
The band is comprised of Carolyn Tucker (keys and vocals), daughter Mariam Tucker
Self (vocals and saxophone), son Aaron Tucker (drums and vocals), Stephan Moses (lead
guitar and vocals), and Jessica Bergen on the electric bass. Everyone in the five-member
band has many years of experience playing and singing in a variety of venues.
Elvis Presley made entertainment history in 1973 with his global “Aloha from Hawaii”
live via satellite television special. The TFB show will feature several songs from Elvis’
Hawaiian concert such as See See Rider, Burning Love, Steamroller Blues, I Can’t Stop
Loving You, Hound Dog, Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On, A Big Hunk o’ Love, plus
more of the Band’s favorites such as Proud Mary, Little Sister, Never Been to Spain, Polk
Salad Annie, Moody Blue, and more.

“All these individuals have been making music since they were youngsters. So when all
that experience, talent, and family unity joins together musically, the band is really tight,”
concert-series organizer Ralph Carlson said. “You won’t want to miss this unique show
of lively, classy Elvis covers. The show is free (tips appreciated) and sponsored by the
Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce.”

Sound is provided by Dave’s Music Gear and Jim Butler.
