I remember many years ago introducing the Velvet Bombers on stage outside of the Owensboro Executive Inn. It was a HUGE crowd, as the Bombers have a HUGE following. So, I walked on to the stage, fist bumped my friend Gordy, and then proceeded to introduce the Velvet...Revol....Bombers! It was a great save, but Gordy had a smirk on his face as I walked off of the stage. I've never forgotten that moment, and I still love this fun, and talented band.

The Velvet Bombers will kick off the holiday weekend, and reunite on July 2nd, 2021 for a 25th Anniversary Celebration. Let's get ready to party and dance in Downtown Owensboro!

Larry Maglinger’s Rod Stewart Tribute show will also take the stage and open for the Bombers. It's going to be a great night of entertainment as we celebrate our nations freedom.

We'll share more details with you as they become available!
