Stranger and The Fries Band

Stranger and The Fries Band + Party in the Park - July 10

Stranger faithfully recreates the sounds of the ‘80s, delivering powerful vocals, driving guitars and entertaining crowds for 30 years.  Audiences will sing along to classics like “Cold as Ice,” “Feels Like the First Time,” “Juke Box Hero” and “I Want to Know What Love Is.”  Stranger has enjoyed opening for some extremely successful national acts including Rick Springfield, Loverboy, Hall & Oates/Chicago, REO Speedwagon, Survivor, 38 Special, Starship, Tommy Tutone and The Knack.

The Fries Band has become known as the premier vocal band in the Dayton area. They focus on very tight three-, four- and five-part vocal harmonies primarily driven by acoustic guitars with keyboard, bass and drums.  The Fries Band is no strangers to the Stubbs Park stage, performing nearly every year for thousands of Centerville residents.

🎉 Party in the Park: Event begins at 5:30 p.m. and features The Heart of Centerville and Washington Township’s vendor village with more than 30 local vendors and kids' activities ahead of the 6:00 p.m. concert.  Food trucks will also be on-site.
